Orange Jessamine gives off a rich fragrance that lasts and does not fade, making it deeply loved by everyone; it is often placed indoors to improve indoor air quality. For most people who do not often grow flowers, they may have the desire to grow it but lack the ability to cultivate it. What are the methods for growing Orange Jessamine and the points to note, and is the price of Orange Jessamine expensive? The answers to the above questions are given one by one below.

Orange Jessamine, also known as Qilixiang, Qianlixiang, and so on, is a famous plant of the Rutaceae family. The leaves of Orange Jessamine are mostly yellow-green, and under sunlight they look as if coated with a layer of wax, with a glossy shine. The leaves have the scent of sunlit orange. Its flowers are white and borne in cymes, very beautiful when in bloom. The flowering period is generally around April and continues until it fades in September.

Methods for growing Orange Jessamine:

Sunlight:

If the indoor temperature in winter is too high, it consumes the plant's nutrients and is unfavorable for growth and flowering the following year. During the growing period, avoid direct sunlight and place it under light shade for cultivation; only in this way can Orange Jessamine produce abundant flowers and a strong fragrance.

Watering:

The place where Orange Jessamine is placed should be misted frequently, but the water in the pot should not be too much, otherwise the roots will rot. For watering, Orange Jessamine likes moisture; in spring and autumn, water once a day, and in winter, water once every one or two days.

Soil:

Orange Jessamine has no strict requirements for soil; it is best to choose sandy soil rich in humus, loose, and fertile. Fertile acidic sandy soil is most suitable for the growth of Orange Jessamine.

Fertilizing:

Generally, fertilizing can be done around April during the growing period, then once every 2 months. After fruiting in autumn, there is no need to fertilize further. Note to use organic fertilizer and chemical fertilizer in combination.

Temperature:

Orange Jessamine likes abundant sunlight and also tolerates semi-shade; it likes warmth, and the most suitable growing temperature is 20-32°C. It is not cold-tolerant. In winter, when the lowest temperature drops to about 5°C, move it indoors to overwinter at a low temperature (5-10°C).

Pruning:

After shaping, Orange Jessamine continues to grow. If allowed to grow naturally without restraint, it will inevitably affect the tree's shape and cause it to lose its artistic value, so it should be pruned in time: shorten long branches and thin out dense branches.

Points to note in cultivation: Orange Jessamine has "three fears," namely fear of wetness, fear of exposure to strong sun, and fear of cold. Take corresponding measures: for fear of wetness, avoid overwatering, but it likes humid air; for fear of exposure to strong sun, place it in semi-shade; when the winter temperature is below 5°C, move it indoors.

The price of Orange Jessamine:

The price of Orange Jessamine is affected by factors such as market demand, cultivation techniques, season, climate, and temperature, resulting in differences in plant color, leaf size, plant height, and crown width at each stage. According to height: a 20-22 cm Orange Jessamine can sell for over 10 yuan each, while a slightly larger 30-40 cm Orange Jessamine can sell for about 40 yuan per pot. Larger bonsai are priced even higher.

When does Orange Jessamine bloom:

As a sun-loving plant, Orange Jessamine's flowering period, calculated according to the normal time, begins to bloom successively in April and then continues until September. However, with the continuous improvement of cultivation techniques, greenhouse growing has become very common, and Orange Jessamine varieties have also been renewed. With careful care, its flowering period can even last into winter.
