II. Jasmine cultivation techniques

1. Environment and light: Jasmine likes hot, humid, ventilated, and air-permeable environments and needs sufficient light. Jasmine fears cold. In the south, potted jasmine can be cultivated outdoors to overwinter, while in the north, warmth must be maintained in autumn and winter, and the plant should be moved indoors to a south-facing direction. With strong light, the branches and stems are robust, the leaves are deep green, and there are many fragrant flowers; with insufficient sunlight, the nodes are sparse, there are few flowers, and they are not fragrant.

2. Water: Jasmine is not drought-tolerant, but it also dislikes waterlogging. In rainy seasons, accumulated water in the pot should be poured out promptly, otherwise the leaves easily turn yellow. In hot summer sunny days, water twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. If the leaves are found curled and drooping, spray water on the leaves to promote growth.

3. Soil: For cultivating jasmine, fertile sandy and semi-sandy soil is best. Planting in slightly acidic soil with a pH value of 6 to 6.5 results in dense roots and vigorous growth. If the soil is clayey and heavy, lacks organic matter, has low fertility, and has poor aeration, then the roots are few, the plant is short, the stems and leaves are slender, and the flowers are few and small.

4. Fertilization: The peak heat of midsummer is the vigorous growth period for jasmine. Apply more organic fertilizer and phosphorus-potassium fertilizer, such as peanut cake powder, bone meal, superphosphate, and multi-element flower fertilizer, twice a month. During the summer growth period, jasmine often shows lush branches and leaves but no flowers. The main reason is applying too much nitrogen fertilizer, causing excessive vegetative growth. In this situation, control fertilizer and water, increase phosphorus-potassium fertilizer, and promote flower bud formation. At the same time, move the jasmine to a place with sufficient sunlight and good ventilation.
