How to plant winter jasmine? Winter jasmine propagation, planting and management tips
According to the editor, the name winter jasmine comes from the fact that it blooms in spring. It is very popular in daily life, its planting method is simple, and its reproductive capacity is strong. Below, the editor will briefly introduce winter jasmine propagation, planting and management tips.
Winter jasmine is cultivated throughout China. Because it has strong adaptability to soil, is drought tolerant, has a vivid and beautiful plant form, and tolerates pruning, it is widely used as greening material for garden lawns, courtyard ornamentation and soil and water conservation. Propagation is mainly by cuttings, and layering and division can also be used. Let us take a look below at the propagation methods of winter jasmine!
Cuttings propagation:It can be done in spring, summer and autumn. Cut semi-lignified branches 12-15 cm long, insert them into sandy soil, keep them moist, and they will root in about 15 days.
Layering propagation:Bury longer branches shallowly in sandy soil without wounding them. They will root after 40-50 days, and in the following spring they can be separated from the mother plant and transplanted.
Division propagation:It can be done in spring when the buds begin to swell. When transplanting in spring, cut off part of the aboveground branches and stems, and keep the original soil. Dry cuttings can also be used, that is, insert cuttings in a prepared seedbed and then water thoroughly. Cuttings can be taken from mid-October to mid-November or in spring.
Water propagation:
1. Time: It can be done all year round. In winter, the container for water propagation can be placed indoors in a sunny place. In summer, shade should be provided to prevent intense sunlight. During water propagation, the water temperature should be kept at 15-20°C. The cuttings root quickly and the survival rate is high.
2. Cuttings: Select branches of the current year that are robust, full and have plump buds. The length of the cuttings is generally 8-12 cm, and 2-4 nodes can be retained. Cut flatly about 2 mm below the lowest node. Tie every 10 cuttings into a bundle. If there are too many leaves on the upper half of the cutting, they can be appropriately removed to help rooting.
3. Container: Use a basin with a relatively large mouth, or a shallow wide-mouthed bottle, or a glass jar, porcelain jar, or other container. Wash it clean before use.
4. Method: Fill the container with clean rainwater, river water or tap water to a depth of 8-10 cm, then place the tied cuttings in the water in rows, with the submerged depth at 4-6 cm. Then place the container outdoors in a ventilated, semi-shaded place. The water quality must be kept fresh and clean, and the water can be changed once every 3-5 days. Generally, after about 20 days, tumor-like callus tissue can form, and after about 35-40 days, fibrous roots can grow.
5. Planting: When the fibrous roots grow to 3-5 cm, they must be planted in time. Be careful during operation not to damage the root system. Generally, after planting, shade treatment is given for about 10 days, after which normal management can be carried out.
The above are the propagation methods of winter jasmine. Friends who love flowers and plants can save them.

Winter jasmine cultivation methods and precautions, introduction to winter jasmine
A deciduous shrub flower plant in the Oleaceae family. It is named because it blooms earliest among all flowers, and after it blooms, it welcomes the spring when all flowers bloom together. Together with plum blossom, narcissus and camellia, it is called the "Four Friends in the Snow" and is one of China's precious flowers. Winter jasmine not only has dignified and beautiful flowers and extraordinary temperament, but also has the characteristics of fearing no cold, being not choosy about wind and soil, and having strong adaptability. It has always been loved by people.
Winter jasmine branches droop, blooming before leaves from late winter to early spring, with golden yellow flowers and verdant foliage. In landscaping, it is suitable for placement by lakesides, streamsides, bridgeheads, wall corners, or on lawns, forest edges, slopes, and around houses. It can be used for viewing flowers in early spring. Winter jasmine has outstanding greening effects and fast results, and is widely used in various places. It has good greening effects in the year of planting. In Shandong, Beijing, Tianjin, Anhui and other places, there are cases of using winter jasmine as ornamental shrubs in flower beds. Shuyang, Jiangsu is even a preferred production area for winter jasmine.
Morphological characteristics of winter jasmine
Deciduous shrub, with slender branches that grow in an arching, drooping manner. The plant is relatively tall, reaching five meters, and it is a common ornamental flower. Lateral branches are robust, four-angled, green. Leaves are trifoliate and opposite, 2-3 cm long, leaflets ovate-elliptic, smooth on the surface, entire. Flowers are solitary in leaf axils, corolla goblet-shaped, bright yellow, with 6 lobes at the apex, or double-petaled. Flowering period is March-May and can last as long as 50 days.
Ecological habits of winter jasmine
It likes light, tolerates slight shade, is slightly cold tolerant, and fears waterlogging. In North China and near Yanling County, Henan, it can overwinter in the open field. It requires a warm and humid climate and loose, fertile, well-drained sandy soil. It grows vigorously in acidic soil and poorly in alkaline soil. The root system has strong sprouting ability. The parts of branches touching the ground root very easily.
Cultivation techniques of winter jasmine
Cuttings can be taken in spring, summer and autumn. Cut semi-lignified branches 12-15 cm long, insert them into sandy soil, keep them moist, and they will root in about 15 days. Layering: bury longer branches shallowly in sandy soil without wounding them. They will root after 40-50 days, and in the following spring they can be separated from the mother plant and transplanted. Division can be done in spring when buds begin to swell. When transplanting in spring, cut off part of the aboveground branches and stems, and keep the original soil. During growth, note that the soil must not become waterlogged or excessively dry. Apply fertilizer appropriately 2-3 times before and after flowering. In autumn and winter, prune and shape the plant to keep it renewed and floriferous. For pests and diseases, leaf spot and dead branch disease often occur, and 50% Tuzet wettable powder at 1500 times dilution can be sprayed. Pests include aphids and bagworms, which can be killed by spraying 50% phoxim emulsifiable concentrate at 1000 times dilution. Winter jasmine likes warmth and is also cold tolerant. The flowering period of winter jasmine is affected by temperature, opening successively from south to north from late January to April. If you want it to bloom at Spring Festival, according to the size of the buds, move it indoors 2-3 weeks before the festival to a sunny room at 12-16°C, at least 2 meters away from televisions and air conditioners, water once every 3 days with water close to room temperature, and often spray water on the branches and leaves. If it still has not bloomed 1 week before the festival, raise the room temperature to 20°C. After flowering, the room temperature should preferably be controlled below 15°C, and it can bloom for 30-40 days.
Dry cuttings can also be used, that is, insert cuttings in a prepared seedbed and then water thoroughly. Cuttings can be taken from mid-October to mid-November or in spring. After rooting, divide and plant, and it can also be propagated by division or layering.
Propagation methods of winter jasmine
Winter jasmine forms flower buds on 1-year-old branches and blooms from late winter of the second year to spring. Therefore, after flowering each year, all flowering branches should be shortened to encourage more lateral branches and increase the number of flowers, while strengthening fertilizer and water management.
Select water wax seedlings with a diameter at breast height of more than 2 cm. In early spring when they begin to sprout, perform side grafting at 1 m or at a selected height. Take current-year winter jasmine branches 8-10 cm long as scions and graft. After grafting, tie tightly with film, cover with a plastic bag, and after survival and sprouting, gradually tear the bag to ventilate and harden the seedlings, and pinch the tips to promote lateral branches and cultivate a crown shape.
Distribution area of winter jasmine
Native to northern China, mainly distributed in North China, Liaoning, Shaanxi, Shandong and other provinces. Winter jasmine is relatively cold tolerant, likes sunlight, and is drought tolerant but not waterlogging tolerant. Propagation is mainly by division, layering and cuttings. It is mostly used to arrange flower beds and decorate courtyards, and is an important early spring flower tree.
It is often cultivated in various places for ornamental purposes; it is also distributed in the central and northern provinces of China. The leaves are used as medicine to reduce swelling and detoxify, and to treat swelling, pain, malignant sores, and traumatic injuries; the flowers can relieve fever and promote urination, and treat fever, headache, and painful urination. Both leaves and roots contain syringin and winter jasmine glycoside. Propagate by cuttings or layering.

For vaginal trichomoniasis: take appropriate amounts each of winter jasmine leaves and Sophora flavescens, decoct in water and wash the vagina.
Variety identification of winter jasmine: winter jasmine and Forsythia suspensa
Both are deciduous shrubs in the Oleaceae family and are widely cultivated throughout China; the two have many similarities, bloom at similar times, have yellow flowers, and bloom before producing leaves. Therefore, many people cannot distinguish these two plants well. In fact, their differences are obvious, as follows:
1) The old branches of winter jasmine are grayish brown, and the branchlets are four-angled, slender, growing in an arching manner, and green. The leaves are all trifoliate compound leaves, growing symmetrically in a cross shape, with smaller leaflets, ovate-elliptic, entire, with a narrow and abruptly pointed apex. Flowers are solitary, yellow, salverform, borne in the leaf axils of branches from the previous year. Forsythia suspensa branches are round, branchlets light brown, hollow inside the stem, often drooping, and the leaves are larger, ovate to long elliptic, with neat serrations in the upper half and entire margins in the lower half. Leaves are simple or 3-foliate and opposite, among which the terminal leaf is larger and the lateral leaves are smaller. Flowers are golden yellow, with broader petals.
2) The branchlets of winter jasmine are green, while those of Forsythia suspensa are darker, generally light brown.
3) Each winter jasmine flower has 6 petals, while Forsythia suspensa has only 4.
4) Winter jasmine rarely produces fruit, while Forsythia suspensa produces fruit.
Winter jasmine and wild winter jasmine
Both are shrubs in the genus Jasminum in the Oleaceae family and are also widely cultivated in China; the two are very similar, but there are also certain differences:
1) Winter jasmine is a deciduous shrub that blooms before leafing out, and has no leaves during full bloom. Wild winter jasmine is an evergreen shrub and has green leaves during the flowering period.
2) The floral tube of winter jasmine is long, while that of wild winter jasmine is short.
3) In the Xi'an area, winter jasmine blooms from the end of February to March, earlier than plum blossoms in the same area. The flowering period of wild winter jasmine in the Xi'an area is often early April, about one month later than winter jasmine and clearly later than plum blossoms.
Winter jasmine and Yunnan yellow jasmine
1) Winter jasmine is a deciduous shrub, while Yunnan yellow jasmine is an evergreen shrub.
2) Winter jasmine blooms before producing leaves, while Yunnan yellow jasmine produces flowers and leaves at the same time.
3) Winter jasmine is native to the northern and central provinces of China and is extremely commonly cultivated in North China, so it is also called "north winter jasmine." Yunnan yellow jasmine is native to the subtropical regions of southern and southwestern China and is extremely commonly cultivated in the south, customarily called "south winter jasmine."
Disease control of winter jasmine: mosaic disease
[Symptoms]: A whole-plant disease caused by cucumber mosaic virus CMV. Symptoms are smaller, deformed leaves, distributed with dark green markings or yellowing. Infected plants do not bloom, or if they bloom, the flowers are also small and deformed, with markings (see figure). The transmission route is mainly virus transmission by green peach aphids and cotton aphids. The main source of infection is nearby infected weed plants.
[Control methods]: First, promptly remove weeds to reduce sources of infection. Second, control aphids early to eliminate virus transmission vectors. [5]
Brown spot disease
[Symptoms]: Mostly occurs on fairy primrose. Caused by Alternaria fungi in the Deuteromycotina. Infected plant leaves have brown spots. The transmission route is conidia spread by wind and rain.
[Control methods]: At the initial stage of disease, spray fungicides such as 70% chlorothalonil wettable powder at 1000 times dilution.
Gray mold
[Symptoms]: One of the common diseases of winter jasmine, occurring throughout the country. After the plant is infected, the whole plant turns yellow and dies. The disease mainly infects leaves, tender stems, flowers and other parts. It mostly occurs at leaf tips and leaf margins. At the initial stage, water-soaked spots appear on the leaves, then gradually expand, turn brown and rot. Later, a grayish yellow mold layer forms on the surface of the lesions. After the stem is infected, the lesions are brown and gradually rot. After the flowers are infected, they also turn brown, rot and fall off. Under humid conditions, gray mold appears on the diseased parts, which is a major feature of the disease. The disease overwinters as sclerotia in diseased residues and soil. It is prone to occur when the temperature is around 20°C and air humidity is high. It spreads through wind and rain, tools and irrigation water. In greenhouses, it is most severe in late winter and early spring.
[Control methods]: Planting density should be reasonable. Pay attention to ventilation and reduce air humidity. Promptly remove diseased leaves and diseased plants to reduce sources of infection. At the initial stage of disease, spray 50% procymidone or 50% iprodione wettable powder at 1500 times dilution. It is best to alternate with 65% dimethirimol wettable powder at 500 times dilution to prevent resistance.
Spot disease
[Symptoms]: Mainly harms plant leaves. The disease spreads from the lower part of the plant to the upper part. Lesions are usually 3 to 4 mm in diameter, brown. In severe cases, diseased leaves wither and die, causing defoliation. The disease is caused by Ramularia primulae. The pathogen overwinters as mycelium or conidiomata on diseased residues, and seeds can also carry the pathogen, becoming the primary infection source for the following year. The disease mainly spreads through conidia with air and rain. Reinfection during the growing season is frequent. Plants are prone to disease under usually warm and humid weather and when nitrogen fertilizer is excessively applied. It generally begins in July and becomes epidemic from August to October.
[Control methods]: Select disease-resistant varieties, strengthen fertilizer and water management, increase application of organic fertilizer and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, and avoid excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer. At the initial stage of disease, spray 70% thiophanate-methyl at 1000 times dilution plus 75% chlorothalonil wettable powder at 1000 times dilution, or 1:1:100 Bordeaux mixture.
Leaf spot disease
[Symptoms]: Mostly occurs on leaves and receptacles. At first, water-soaked irregular lesions appear along leaf veins, then yellowing and browning occur, the lesions expand, and leaf margins dry up. In severe cases, the lower leaves wither and die.
[Control methods]: Strengthen cultivation management, cultivate disease-free seedlings, and disinfect seedbed soil; ventilate greenhouses promptly to reduce air humidity. Promptly remove diseased plant residues. After disease occurs, spray 50% copper bis(dihydrogen phosphate) wettable powder at 500 times dilution, or 72% agricultural streptomycin wettable powder at 4000 times dilution.
Common pests
Aphids and bagworms.
Control method: Spray with 50% phoxim emulsifiable concentrate at 1000 times dilution to kill them.
Cultural background of winter jasmine and related legends
A very, very long time ago, the land was covered by a great flood. Crops were submerged, houses collapsed, and the common people had no choice but to gather on mountaintops. Between heaven and earth it was chaotic all day long, and even spring, autumn, winter and summer could not be distinguished.
At that time, the emperor was called Shun. Shun called on the minister Gun to lead the people in controlling the waters. After several years of control, the waters grew larger and larger. Gun died, and his son Yu again took up the heavy responsibility of controlling the waters. When Yu led the people to investigate the waterways, he met a young woman at Mount Tu. This young woman boiled water and cooked food for them and helped them point out water sources. Yu was grateful to this young woman, and the young woman also liked Yu very much, so the two married. Because Yu was busy controlling the waters, they parted after being together for only a few days. When leaving, the young woman saw Yu off one stage after another. When they came to a mountain ridge, Yu said to her: "No matter how far you see me off, we still must part! I will not turn back until the waters are controlled." With tears in her eyes, the young woman looked at Yu and said: "Go. I will stand right here, and I will keep watching until you tame the flood and return to my side." When Yu was about to leave, he untied the rattan belt around his waist and handed it to the young woman. The young woman touched that rattan belt and said: "Go. I will stand here and wait, until the rattan blooms, the flood stops flowing, and people live and work in peace and contentment. Then we will reunite." After leaving the young woman, Yu led the people across the Nine Provinces, digging out river channels. Several years later, the rivers and streams were dredged, the floodwaters returned to the sea, crops emerged from the soil, willows and poplars sprouted, and the people finally lived in peace. Yu joyfully hurried back overnight to find his beloved young woman. From afar he saw the young woman holding up that bunch of rattan in her hand, standing on that high mountain waiting for him. But when he came closer and looked, it turned out that the young woman had long since become a stone statue.
It turned out that after Yu left, the young woman stood on this mountain ridge every day gazing into the distance. No matter whether it was windy or raining, cold or freezing, she never walked away. Later, grass awls pierced through her feet, and grass seeds sprouted and took root on her body, yet she still held up the rattan and gazed into the distance. As days turned into years, the young woman turned into a stone statue. Her hands had grown together with the rattan, and her blood soaked into the rattan. No one knew how long had passed, but the rattan unexpectedly became green and tender and put out new branches. Yu stepped forward calling to his beloved young woman, and tears fell on the stone statue. In an instant, the rattan unexpectedly opened one after another small golden flowers.
The rattan had bloomed, and the flood had been eliminated. To commemorate the young woman's devotion, Yu named this rattan flower "winter jasmine."

Winter jasmine planting methods, how to propagate winter jasmine better, how to pot a winter jasmine
The branches of winter jasmine are graceful and varied, and the flowers are bright and elegant. Besides planting them in courtyards, flower beds and other places, they can also be potted for viewing or made into bonsai. So do you want to pot winter jasmine for viewing? Today we will talk about how to pot a winter jasmine and how to propagate winter jasmine better.
Potting winter jasmine
Pot winter jasmine after leaf fall in winter and before sprouting in spring. The potting soil should preferably be loose, fertile sandy soil with good drainage and water retention. After planting, water thoroughly and place it in a wind-sheltered, sunny place for care. During the growing period, water according to "do not water until dry, and water thoroughly when watering," avoiding water accumulation in the potting soil, otherwise it will cause root rot. After September, reduce watering to control vigorous branch growth and help it overwinter safely. After flowering each spring, apply 1 to 2 times of decomposed organic liquid fertilizer to supplement the nutrients consumed by flowering and help the plant recover its vigor as soon as possible.
June to August is its flower bud differentiation period. Increase the use of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer and pay attention to withholding water to favor flower bud formation. Fertilizing in autumn can increase the plant's cold resistance and promote flower bud development. Applying some fertilizer before flowering can not only make the flowers plump and beautiful, but also prolong the flowering period. Repot once every 1 to 2 years after flowering in spring. The potting soil can be prepared by mixing 1 part each of garden soil, humus soil and sandy soil, and adding a small amount of decomposed cake fertilizer, poultry and livestock manure, etc. as base fertilizer. Combine repotting with pruning the plant, removing dry branches, diseased and pest-infested branches, and leggy branches. During the growing period, pay attention to pinching to encourage more branching and maintain a perfect tree shape. If you want it to bloom at New Year's Day or Spring Festival, move the potted seedling indoors to a sunny place 3 weeks in advance for cultivation, and keep
Winter jasmine propagation can use several methods: division, layering and cuttings.
DivisionUsually carried out in spring and autumn, but preferably before flower buds swell in early spring.Layeringorcuttings, generally carried out about one week after flowering. When layering, first cut the bark of the branch buried in soil with a knife to facilitate rooting. Cuttings can be done in a hotbed, or directly in the open field. Select robust 2-year-old branches as cuttings, with length
For making bonsai, choose winter jasmine (Jasminum nudiflorum) plants that have grown for many years and have old, rugged, vigorous roots. They are mostly transplanted from winter to early spring. First plant them in clay pots to "nurture the stock." Before planting, prune and shape the plant once: cut off branches and root trunks not needed for the design, and shorten overly long branches. From the cut root trunks, select those with good form for cuttings; after they root, plant them in small pots and they become quaint, elegant miniature bonsai. The soil should be well-drained sandy soil to ensure survival. Because winter jasmine is a trailing plant, although its branches grow quickly, it has no obvious main trunk, and even relatively thick branches are hard to find. Therefore, you can consider using the method of "replacing the trunk with roots," lifting the twisting, varied roots above the soil surface to take the place of the trunk. Root lifting should be done gradually and must never be completed all at once; otherwise, too many fine roots will be exposed, causing the tree stump to send out new shoots poorly, and in severe cases even causing the plant to die. The shaping of its root trunk should vary from tree to tree; different forms can be used, such as single-trunk style, double-trunk style, slanting-trunk style, curved-trunk style, bridge style, and raised-root style.
The crown mostly uses the weeping-branch type, with branches naturally drooping in a waterfall shape; pruning is used to make the branches well-spaced and the flowering uniform. This is the most common form. In the plum-stump type, the drooping curved parts of the branches are cut off; if newly sprouted side branches also curve and droop, they are cut off again. In this way, all branches are made to grow straight, and when in bloom they resemble plum blossoms with sparse shadows slanting across. In the large-tree type, choose old, twisting plants with clearly defined trunk, main branches, and side branches, and train and prune the branches into clusters. During the growing season it looks like a large tree, but in fact the tree's "leaves" are made up of dense fine branches. Because suitable material is hard to find, this form is the least common.
Winter jasmine bonsai can be shaped once before flowering; during the growing season, pinch the tips frequently to encourage the branches to thicken and increase branching, which is beneficial for shaping. Branches that affect the tree's form should be cut off promptly to maintain the bonsai's beauty. Other management is basically the same as for potted winter jasmine. Its common form is the weeping-branch style, characterized by naturally drooping branches and smooth lines; when it blooms, the whole tree is full of flowers, lively and exuberant. Winter jasmine has strong adaptability, likes light, tolerates cold, drought, and alkaline conditions, and fears waterlogging. It is not demanding about soil and can grow in slightly acidic, neutral, and slightly alkaline soils, but grows best in loose, fertile sandy soil.
Planting is generally carried out after the flowers fade or in mid-September. If you want to cultivate it into a raised-root form, you can raise the roots somewhat when planting, but do not raise them too high at one time, otherwise it will be unfavorable for growth. Because winter jasmine is yellow, when planting it is best to choose light blue, purplish-red, or black pots so that the pot and flower colors coordinate. If cultivated properly, it will have yellow flowers covering the branches in spring, spreading green leaves in summer and autumn, and graceful green trailing stems in winter, filling all four seasons with the feeling of spring.
