How to propagate jasmine by cutting and how to fertilize jasmine

Because of its white appearance and fragrant smell, jasmine has become one of the common cultivated varieties in China. Its reproduction methods are various, but the most common one is cutting propagation, which helps to increase its yield. So how does it do it? Now let's take a look at it together.

How to cuttage propagation of jasmine

1. Seedbed soil: loose, fertile, good drainage, no stones and rubble, 35-40 cm deep before cutting, then 20-30% rotten compost, and mix well into box trench, 90-100 cm, ditch width 30 cm, for drainage and management.

2. Cutting methods: cuttings should be cut along with cutting. In order to avoid "turning hair" damage to the lower skin of cuttings and affect healing, the "introduction" method is often used. First introduce a hole, and then gently insert the cuttings, compaction, insertion depth to expose a node is appropriate. Most of the rest were buried in the soil to minimize the transpiration noodles and expand the absorption of water surface, which took root in about 40-60 days.

How to fertilize jasmine

1. After coming out of the room in spring, a thick fertilizer should be applied to promote it to sprout new buds, and the fully fermented organic fertilizer is the best.

2. When there are buds, apply a thin fertilizer to make the jasmine blossom big and fragrant, mainly using phosphorus-containing fertilizers, such as available phosphate fertilizer, potassium dihydrogen phosphate or calcium superphosphate.

3. After the first flower fade, the fermented organic fertilizer should be applied again so that the jasmine can draw new shoots and blossom for the second time.

4. In the flowering stage of jasmine, the mature thin liquid fertilizer can be applied once every 3-5 days. Fermented bean cake water and Toudaao rice water are used as topdressing, or boiled soybeans can be put in a basin as topdressing.

5. If fertilization is gradually reduced in autumn, it can be applied once a week or so, which can reduce the proportion of nitrogen fertilizer, increase phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, and restrain overgrowth.

Points for attention in planting jasmine

1. Jasmine is not tolerant to drought, but avoid stagnant water. In rainy season, it is necessary to dump stagnant water in the basin in time, otherwise the leaves are easy to turn yellow. In summer, hot and sunny days should be watered twice a day, once in the morning and evening, if you find that the leaves curl and droop should spray water on the leaves to promote growth.

2. The pruning of jasmine flowers is very important in summer, except for cutting off the weak branches after overwintering in spring, leaving only the stout base for new buds to sprout. After the flower fails, the branches should leave 3-5 nodes in time and cut off the top tip to promote the germination of new Asia and ensure the blooming of flowers.

3. Jasmine often has luxuriant branches and leaves but does not blossom in summer. The main reason is that too much nitrogen fertilizer is applied, resulting in the growth of branches and leaves. In such a situation, it is necessary to control fertilizer and water, increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, and promote the gestation of flower buds. At the same time, we should pay attention to move the jasmine to a place with sufficient sunshine and good ventilation.

4. Jasmine is afraid of the cold. Potted jasmine in the south can be cultivated outdoors to survive the winter. In the north, it is necessary to keep warm in autumn and winter, and move indoors and put it toward the south. If the light is strong, the branches are strong, the leaves are dark green, the flowers are many and fragrant, and if the sun is not enough, the flowers are sparse and not fragrant.

How to spend the winter with jasmine

1. Stop fertilizer and control water: when jasmine enters the dormant state, it is necessary to properly control the water and stop fertilization, and the basin soil can be kept slightly moist.

2. Anti-cold and anti-freezing: when the temperature drops below 5 ℃, move the jasmine indoors to the sunny place in time, and prepare appropriate warm measures for it, such as covering the flowerpot with the plant with a large plastic bag, or wrapping the flowerpot with straw and so on. It should be noted that the package should be opened for a few minutes every day when it is warm at noon to give it a chance to be ventilated.

If you want jasmine to grow well, watering and fertilizing is an important link, and you must also take good care of it to avoid insect pests and other problems, in addition, how to make it safe through the winter is also very important, although jasmine does not blossom in winter, but if you do not take good care of it in winter, it will affect its flowering in the coming year.
