How to care for jasmine in autumn and winter? Practical methods introduced

Jasmine is a very popular traditional flowering plant in our country. In summer, it not only blooms with flowers as white as jade, but also gives off a rich floral fragrance. However, after winter arrives, the care and management of jasmine troubles many people. The main reason is that everyone is not clear about how to grow jasmine in autumn and winter, so how should jasmine be cared for in autumn and winter?

If everyone is not clear about how to grow jasmine in winter, then the whole plant usually dies the following year. So, in order to grow jasmine well, especially jasmine in a potted environment, so that it can resume normal growth the following year and keep blooming on schedule, today the editor will share with you the autumn and winter care and management methods for jasmine.

1. Strictly prohibit continued fertilizing

After White Dew, the root activity of jasmine is greatly weakened, and the demand for nutrients decreases. If fertilizing continues at this time, its roots cannot fully absorb it. Instead, it easily causes fertilizer damage, and the plant may eventually die from root rot.

2. Do not move it indoors too early

After autumn arrives, the temperature gradually drops, and the weather gets cooler and cooler. In this situation, everyone must not rush to move potted jasmine indoors for care. Instead, let the plant slowly adapt to temperature changes and the temperature difference before moving it indoors to keep warm and resist the cold. Otherwise, it will still affect the normal growth of the plant.

3. Control watering well

Because the temperature gradually drops, the root vitality of jasmine becomes weaker, and the sunlight in autumn is not as strong as in summer, so water consumption also gradually decreases. At this time, we should slowly control watering and reduce the frequency of watering, so as to keep the potting soil slightly dry. Wait until the potting soil becomes dry before watering thoroughly. If a large amount of water is still given, it may also cause water accumulation in the pot and root rot.

Properly controlling watering and keeping the potting soil slightly dry can encourage newly grown semi-lignified branches to quickly become lignified before the cold winter arrives. This can increase the resistance of the branches and prevent the plant from being frozen in winter.

4. Do not rush to prune

Autumn and winter are the dormant season for jasmine. During this period, its roots have limited ability to absorb, so water and fertilizer need to be controlled in time. The plant generally relies on the nutrients stored in its body to maintain life. If we prune too early, it often loses a large amount of nutrients, which is very unfavorable for its safe overwintering.
