Planting skills: the pruning method of jasmine

The flowering period of jasmine is very long and can bloom for 2-3 months in summer. if you want it to bloom one crop after another, it needs to be pruned after flowering. How do you trim jasmine after it blossoms? Here are the tips for jasmine culture: the pruning method of jasmine.

1. Timing of pruning

The pruning of jasmine is mainly concentrated in two periods, one is the growing period, that is, from spring to autumn, including two pruning, the first before the Qingming Festival, before the jasmine sprouts, and the second after the flower fade, August or September. The second is the dormant period, that is, before spring, cut off the withered branches, disease and insect branches and let jasmine recuperate.

2. Pruning steps

1. Pruning during growing period

The first pruning during the growing period should be combined with turning the basin. First, dig up the whole jasmine plant with a small stick, remove the persistent soil from part of the root system, and cut off the overgrown fibrous roots.

After re-potting, cut off or shorten the branches that are too long and too dense, so that the branches are evenly distributed.

two。 Prune the disease and insect branches of jasmine

After the flower fade, the second pruning was carried out to remove part of the leaves to reduce the loss of nutrients on the premise of ensuring the beautiful plant shape of jasmine. Each branch retains 3-5 nodes, and the top tip is cut off to promote the germination of new branches. Jasmine will not grow a new bud on the original branch after flowering, and it will not give birth to a small one if it is not cut off.

3. Dormant pruning

Before sprouting in spring, cut off disease and insect branches, thin branches and only growing branches. Don't be soft, just cut it.

Truncate the tip of one-year-old branches, keeping the lower branches about 10-15 cm.

Remove all the leaves. Although after pruning, you look a little bald, but you are not ruthless, it is not long ~ after pruning, it is good for jasmine to be sturdy and beautiful.

4. Cut at any time

Industrious people will regularly observe the growth of jasmine and make timely adjustments; rigid people will only take care of it step by step. Then this is cut at any time, it appears to be very casual, but it is very helpful to the growth of jasmine!

For blind branches (non-flowering branches), only grow branches, disease and insect branches, cut as you see, improve the ventilation and light transmittance of the plant.

(the jasmine usually blossoms three times) the stalk should be cut off to promote the next flowering.

Matters needing attention

1. Newly bought jasmine

In the process of breeding, the withered branches and leaves should be cut off in time. For the newly bought jasmine, no matter how ugly the plant is, your first task is to feed it and don't rush to plastic surgery.

two。 Only when you have a house can you get it.

Many flower friends cultivate jasmine, often pay attention to water and fertilizer, ignore pruning, and even the withered branches and leaves after winter are reluctant to be cut off, resulting in lean branches and narrow leaves, which is not worth the loss. In fact, pruning is very simple, the key lies in your heart to be ruthless.

In addition, since the pruning has been cut, it is necessary to leave no marks to avoid rough incisions, and the retained axillary buds are too long, which will affect the growth of new buds.

3. The cut branches can be cut.

The branches of the pruned jasmine can be cut, and each branch retains two leaves. It is required that the buds in the middle of the leaves grow well and cut off half of each leaf so that the cuttings can be cut. The survival rate of cutting is relatively high, but since it is a cut branch cutting, you will earn it if it grows into a new plant!
