Quite a few flower friends asked on WeChat after discovering their jasmine only grows branches and does not bloom, and seeing other people's jasmine blooming so well, they really want to know why jasmine does not bloom. Actually, as long as we care for it properly, jasmine will generally bloom,...

Pests and diseases: common pest and disease control for jasmine

Without further nonsense, let us pick out the main points. If you want jasmine to grow and bloom normally, there are a few things that must be done.

1. Sufficient light.

2. A well-ventilated environment.

3. Frequent pruning.

As long as these three points are done well, there is no need to worry about jasmine not blooming. As for fertilizing and such, it only affects the number of blooms, and we can add it as appropriate later. In this article we mainly talk about why jasmine does not bloom.

I have seen jasmine grown by some flower friends that, because of their conditions, was kept in an environment with poor light and poor ventilation, and on top of that their skill was not very high, so the result was that the jasmine grew leggy, with very long branches, and still looked droopy.

You cannot force growing flowers; you must choose suitable flowers according to the environment where you grow them. Below we focus on the basic care of jasmine, so flower friends can compare and see which point they have not done well, and just improve it, and the jasmine will definitely bloom.

First, a brief word about potting soil. Generally, potting soil does not directly affect whether jasmine blooms; like fertilizer, it only affects how much it blooms and how strong its growth is. For jasmine, soil rich in organic matter is best, and the potting soil should have a certain water-holding capacity while also being breathable and draining, so that jasmine can grow well. Generally, mixing garden soil, leaf mold, and large particles is enough, and the ratio can be adjusted as appropriate.

Light is very important for jasmine. Jasmine can be exposed to full sun outdoors. Good light not only keeps jasmine from growing leggy, but also promotes flower bud differentiation. We know that the vast majority of plants need sunlight to bloom.

Pruning is just as important for jasmine as sunlight. Jasmine is very tolerant of pruning. Generally, before it sprouts in spring, you can do heavy pruning, keeping 10-15 cm at the base, so that many thick new branches grow. If the new branches grow very vigorously, you should pinch them when they reach 10 cm to encourage a second flush of shoots, which will result in more blooms, a compact shape, and high ornamental value.

Light pruning after flowering: after jasmine flowers fade, carry out post-flowering pruning in time, so that new branches can sprout again from the pruned branch sections. After the new branches grow to a certain extent (generally after the new branches produce three or four pairs of leaves), they will differentiate flower buds again, so post-flowering pruning is very important for maintaining jasmine.

As for fertilizing, although jasmine has a great demand for fertilizer, in ordinary times we should fertilize as thinly and often as possible. About one thin feeding a week is enough, and no fertilizer should be applied during winter dormancy.
