How to grow jasmine? Detailed explanation of cultivation methods and precautions
Jasmine is a plant with a relatively long flowering period, and many friends choose to grow jasmine to add some ornamental value to their homes. So how do growers, as the source, cultivate high-quality jasmine seedlings for everyone? And what aspects can limit jasmine? Let's take a look together with the editor at how jasmine should be grown.
1. Propagation and cultivation
Jasmine can be propagated by seeds or by cuttings. At present, growers generally use seed propagation, which offers relatively strong selectivity. The soil should be crumbled and mixed with sandy soil to increase soil permeability. The seeds need to be soaked in water first, and after cracks appear on the surface, they are placed in the soil and covered with about 2-3 cm of loose soil, with no need to add water. In the early stage, the spacing between seedlings can be about 10 cm. After germination, they begin to be transplanted into pots, which is convenient for later sales.
2. Water management
After the seedlings emerge, they need to be watered once, with the amount of water only enough to moisten the surface soil. Later, as the water adapts over time, when the temperature is below 30°, water once a day, ensuring only that the soil does not dry out, and it is best to use irrigation. When the temperature is above 30°, use irrigation first; if the leaves curl and turn yellow, then spraying irrigation can be added. In autumn, it can be controlled to once every 2-3 days, and in winter, warm water should be used for irrigation, once every half month. When they are ready to be sold, be sure to check whether there is standing water at the bottom, otherwise the standing water will cause wilting and affect everyone's economic returns.
3. Topdressing
Jasmine does not have high fertilizer requirements, and generally fertilizing once every half month or so is enough. When transplanting, organic fertilizer should first be added in advance at the bottom at about 10-20 cm as a base fertilizer. In the early stage, the main application is nitrogen fertilizer, so that its root system can become more developed; in the later stage, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer need to be appropriately increased to ensure better growth. Each time you fertilize, if there is a lot of fertilizer, there is no need to water; if there is less, it can be dissolved in water to promote absorption. If what is being cultivated is extremely rare, or if it is for personal home growing, a dedicated nutrient solution can be chosen.
4. Precautions
Jasmine relatively likes ventilation and sunlight, so more vents can be opened relatively in everyone's cultivation base, and there should be shading objects at noon when the sunlight is strongest to avoid exposure to the sun. In order to obtain higher profits when selling, everyone needs to prune the jasmine; some old leaves or relatively dense areas need to be cut away, so that the new leaves have room to grow, and this can also let it live longer. During daily inspections, pay attention to observing whether there are pests on the jasmine. The more common ones are snout moths and red spiders. These are pest problems that jasmine is relatively prone to, and they should be removed promptly once found.
The above are the jasmine cultivation methods. In fact, these methods can also be applied to everyone's free-range growing. At present, the selling price of a pot of jasmine is still quite profitable. Friends who are tempted should hurry to build their own jasmine cultivation base, so that while growing flowers they can also obtain good economic returns. Rural friends in particular can seriously consider this project.
