How to grow orange jasmine (Aglaia odorata)? Master the six likes and six dislikes for care and management

Orange jasmine (Aglaia odorata) is also one of the flowers we often see. Its flowering cycle is relatively long, between 6-10 months, and it is one of the species many gardeners choose to plant. Now let us learn about the cultivation techniques of orange jasmine together.

1. It likes acidic soil and dislikes alkaline soil.

2. It likes warmth and humidity and dislikes cold and dryness.

3. It likes sunlight and dislikes intense exposure.

4. It likes light fertilizer and dislikes concentrated fertilizer.

5. It likes moisture and dislikes waterlogging.

6. It likes wind and dislikes wind chill. Winters in the north are cold, so it cannot overwinter outdoors and can only be grown as a potted ornamental. Most northerners grow orange jasmine to enjoy its fragrance. If it has flowers but no scent, it is greatly diminished.

To make organic orange jasmine strongly fragrant, the following points need to be done in care:

1. The concentration of organic orange jasmine fragrance is directly related to sunlight. Under light at around 30°C, the leaves are deep green, the branches are thick and strong, it flowers many times, the flowers are bright yellow, and the fragrance is intense. Whether the pot is placed on a balcony or in a yard, it must be placed in sunlight. Insufficient sunlight not only inhibits growth, but also reduces the number of flowers, and the fragrance of the flowers will also drop sharply. At noon in midsummer, appropriate shading is needed. It cannot be placed on a north-facing balcony; the light on a north-facing balcony is not enough and cannot meet the growth needs of orange jasmine.

2. Another measure to make organic orange jasmine more fragrant is to apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. Orange jasmine has the habit of flowering multiple times within a year and consumes a lot of nutrients, so energy supply should be met, that is, apply some fertilizer more in a timely and appropriate amount. But it is best to spray after 6 p.m.

3. Orange jasmine is a southern flower and likes a humid environment. The dry climate of the north is unfavorable to its growth. During the growing season, water should be sprayed on the leaves multiple times to increase humidity, which is very beneficial to its ecological needs. The potting soil should be neither too dry nor too wet. Soil that is too dry easily causes yellow leaves and withered buds. Too much watering easily causes root rot in orange jasmine, and in severe cases, a large number of leaves fall off and the plant dies.

4. If orange jasmine is grown on a balcony, then attention must be paid to ventilation. Poor ventilation not only makes it susceptible to pests, but also causes orange jasmine to drop a large number of leaves, buds and flowers.

5. Orange jasmine is a southern flower and likes slightly acidic soil. It grows well in slightly acidic soil. If the potting soil is slightly alkaline, orange jasmine grows poorly, or even dies. Water in the north is also slightly alkaline. Long-term watering with tap water will make the soil alkaline, which is unfavorable to the growth of orange jasmine.

In addition, in daily care, attention should be paid to improving the pH of the water, lowering the pH value of the water to below 6.5 before use.
