1. Fertilizer.

During the growth of variegated star jasmine, fertilizer should be applied in time to promote growth. There are no special requirements for the type of fertilizer; all kinds of fertilizer can be used. If fertilizer is not applied in time, variegated star jasmine can still bloom, but the number of leaves and the color change will be less than when fertilizer is applied. For home potted variegated star jasmine, if you want its leaves to be as colorful as flowers, you can apply more bone meal and phosphorus-potassium fertilizer according to the situation. For garden-planted variegated star jasmine, generally apply a nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium compound fertilizer once each in spring and autumn; do not fertilize in winter and summer.

2. Watering.

Variegated star jasmine likes a humid environment. During the growing season, water the potted soil as soon as it dries, keeping it slightly moist. In spring and autumn, water once every two days; in the hot summer, water once a day; in winter when the temperature is low, water about once every half a month. But be careful to water in moderation and avoid waterlogging. Especially during the summer rainy season, potted variegated star jasmine should be drained of accumulated water in time, so as to avoid root rot caused by waterlogging.

3. Light.

Variegated star jasmine likes warm sunlight. When planted in the ground, it should be planted in a sunny spot. If variegated star jasmine gets too little light, its growth will slow down. For potted plants, in spring, autumn and winter it is best to place them in a sunny spot for growing; in summer, place them in a semi-shaded spot where they can see the sun in the morning and evening and avoid direct strong sunlight at noon. This ensures vigorous growth of variegated star jasmine and bright leaves.

If the above three points are done well, variegated star jasmine will grow vigorously with luxuriant branches and leaves. Below, the editor will explain the precautions in growing variegated star jasmine, to ensure better care of variegated star jasmine.

How to grow variegated star jasmine

It likes light and is slightly shade-tolerant, likes an environment with relatively high air humidity, and is suitable for growing in well-drained acidic and neutral soil. It is robust with strong disease resistance and vigorous growth, similar to the native Chinese star jasmine. At the same time, it also has relatively strong drought tolerance, resistance to short-term flooding, and cold resistance. It can be cultivated in the open field south of the Yangtze River basin. For safe overwintering, appropriate protective measures can be taken, such as increasing light; from March to August, apply mainly nitrogen fertilizer to promote plant growth; in September and early October, appropriately apply additional phosphorus-potassium fertilizer to promote plant sturdiness; starting in October, pruning is prohibited, etc. If grown indoors as a potted ornamental, it can be used in any region, and is especially suitable in areas with better light conditions.

Variegated star jasmine cuttings

For summer cuttings, some branches that are too tender are prone to rotting, but branches that have reached semi-lignification can all take root and survive. In addition, variegated star jasmine can also be propagated by layering. Generally, layering of old branches is done in early spring, and layering of young branches in summer, burying the soil about 3cm; both nodes and internodes can take root to form a new plant. However, the propagation rate of layering is rather slow, and it requires a large amount of labor, so it is difficult to apply in large-scale production.
The technology for rapid propagation of variegated star jasmine by tissue culture has been completed. Our tissue culture laboratory has established a corresponding rapid propagation tissue culture system. Variegation can appear during the tissue culture process, and the ornamental traits are stable. Based on both its growth and ornamental value, the cultivation of variegated star jasmine can appropriately separate seedling production, plant cultivation and the cultivation of finished nursery stock. That is, under the most suitable environmental conditions such as semi-shade and loose, fertile cultivation substrate, carry out mass propagation and early-stage plant cultivation; when the plant reaches 20cm in length and has many branches, move it to stronger light conditions for cultivation, so as to achieve brilliant leaf color.

Is variegated star jasmine toxic
