The latest pruning method of jasmine

Jasmine has a long flowering period and blossoms continuously from early summer to late autumn. it is pure and elegant, fragrant and deeply loved by people. However, many people have unreasonable pruning methods for jasmine, resulting in canopy closure, small flowers, few flowers and weak plants. let's take a look at the pruning methods of jasmine.

The proverb of pruning jasmine flowers

Jasmine is not pruned, it is obvious that the branches are weak and flowers are few. Pruning should be ruthless to stabilize the blossom.

Pruning methods of jasmine flowers

1. Pruning during the growing period: from sprouting in spring to before overwintering, to make the new branches neat and sturdy. For blind branches (non-flowering branches), overgrown branches, weak branches, disease and insect branches, etc., they should be cut off as soon as possible to facilitate good ventilation and light transmission; after each flowering, the flower stalks and overdense branches should be cut off in time to promote axillary bud germination, so as to achieve the goal of how long lateral branches, more buds and more flowering.

2. Dormant pruning: it is carried out before sprouting in spring to make the first branch grow neatly and sturdily and adjust the crown. Cut off disease and insect branches, withered branches and weak branches; truncate the apex of one-year-old branches, retaining the base and 10mur15cm; remove all the leaves of the tree. In general, there must be branched leaf buds (growing points) at the connection of each petiole and stem of jasmine. If it is not pruned, a new branch will grow at the growing point above the flowering branch (facing the sky), and manual pruning will greatly increase the probability of growing two branches, so the more branches, of course, there will be more buds. If it is not pruned and allowed to grow, another disadvantage is that the stems and leaves grow too high, and its new stem is a weak overgrowth type, so it is easy to lodge.

3. Post-flowering management: stop pruning after autumn (after the third period of blooming). After blooming, she will gradually enter a state of dormancy and no longer grow new leaves, but the leaves will not fall off, but the whole plant will stop growing! However, the advantage of keeping leaves is that if you encounter a tiger in autumn or a warm winter, the leaves can still practice photosynthesis, and you can still observe the leaves, instead of leaving a pair of ugly withered branches without leaves to spend the winter. Be sure to wait until the early spring to observe that the leaves are just sprouting, transplant the soil and do the first big pruning.

Flowering maintenance of Jasmine Flower

Jasmine likes fertilizer very much. as long as it is properly maintained, potted jasmine can blossom three times a year. If it is lack of fertilizer and nutrients, after blooming once, it will no longer blossom. If the management is in place, it can keep blooming from the end of May to the beginning of November. The key is the mastery of pruning, sunshine, and fertile water. Jasmine blossoms one after another from early summer. If managed properly, there may be three periods of blooming.

In the first ten days of June, jasmine blossoms one after another, and the method of picking flowers is to pick the twigs with leaves to promote the re-emergence of new branches and luxuriant branches. At this time, apply light fertilizer and water twice a week, and keep the basin soil moist.

2. The first flowering period is from late June to early July. At this time, it is necessary to strengthen the management of fertilizer and water, apply thin fertilizer frequently, fertilize every 2 days, and apply fully mature organic liquid fertilizer, the ratio of fertilizer to water is 1:4. Watering should be adequate, usually once a day. Usually watering should be carried out in the morning, while fertilization should be carried out in the evening. This lasts until late July, because there is plenty of fertilizer and water, which can make the flowers bloom bigger and more.

3. In the first ten days of August, the flowers in the second stage are formed, and the fertilization is slightly thicker than before, and it is generally suitable for fertilizer and water to be half and half. In order to make jasmine blossom better, calcium superphosphate solution can also be sprayed on the leaf surface. In late August, fertilization was gradually reduced and applied once every 6-7 days, but watering was still needed and kept once every 2 days.

4. From early September to early October, the third stage of flower formation, at this time should stop fertilization, watering should also gradually reduce, because the weather has gradually turned cool, will affect the formation of bud, so the number of flowers is relatively small, after the middle of October, flowering ends, just keep the pot soil slightly wet.
