Tips for caring for orange jessamine (Aglaia odorata): no leaf drop, new leaves grow fast, and it blooms nonstop

Orange jessamine flowers are small, but the blooms are especially fragrant, its foliage stays evergreen all year round, bright and glossy green, and the flowering period is especially long. If cared for well, it can bloom several times a year, especially in summer and autumn when it blooms the most, but in the process of growing orange jessamine, you will find that the leaves drop easily, and the leaves hardly grow; if orange jessamine does not grow leaves, it will also bloom very little, so what should be done?

When growing orange jessamine, use one little trick, and it will never drop leaves again, green leaves will grow vigorously, and the flowers will bloom nonstop

If orange jessamine drops leaves, it is very likely related to the potting soil and the flower pot. If the pot is too deep, and it is also a ceramic pot that does not let air through, that is not good. The potting soil is very important. The soil used by ordinary gardeners, if it is too sticky, becomes like mud after watering, and the roots of orange jessamine cannot breathe in oxygen, so it easily drops leaves.

At this time, change the potting soil, add half sand to the soil, just ordinary river sand, prune away some dead branches and overly dense branches, and keep the branches that have young leaves. Then place it in a ventilated spot with diffused light to let it recover, mist it with a little water every day to keep it moist, and in less than a month, young leaves will sprout rapidly, and the leaves will grow more numerous and greener.

Usual home care tips for orange jessamine

If orange jessamine is grown indoors, it must be kept ventilated, preferably with air circulation, and it is best placed on a windowsill near the outside. And it must be kept in sufficient sunlight; even a whole day of sun is fine.

Orange jessamine suits slightly acidic soil, so occasionally when watering, mix 1:1000 ferrous sulfate into the water, or water it with vanadium fertilizer water a few times a year, which can make orange jessamine grow better.

Although orange jessamine likes a humid environment, if the potting soil is too wet for a long time, it will cause the leaves to turn yellow, so water control must be applied immediately. When the temperature is high and the air is relatively dry, the potting soil must not be too dry for a long time; when it is dry, water it promptly.

After growing it for one or two years, repot orange jessamine once. It is best to use river mud, pond mud, or garden soil plus pine needle soil and sand to plant it, and it will grow better.

In winter, pay attention to keeping it warm. Below five degrees, cold protection and warmth measures must be taken, and place it where cold wind cannot reach it. In this way, in winter the leaves are still glossy green, very beautiful and pleasing to the eye, and the next year it will bloom especially profusely.
