It works so well that a rotten apple is used to raise jasmine and gardenia. yellow leaves never blossom every day.

Many people like the fragrance of jasmine and gardenia, but they can't keep it well. Either the bud or the yellow leaves have a headache. Why?

It turns out that it is the acidity and alkalinity of the soil. The soil in the north is mostly alkaline, which is not suitable for flowers like jasmine and gardenia, which like acidic soil. However, it doesn't matter that we will teach you how to make acid soil today. Let's learn it together.

Steps for self-made acidic soil

There are two methods to make acid soil: first, direct method; second, improved method.

Let's take a look at the first method.

If you want flowers to grow well, good soil is the key. In order to find good soil, we usually have to make some efforts, so that it will be much more convenient when we use it.

1. There are a lot of fallen leaves in the woods. Usually we go out and take a convenient bag. We can pack some back and make our own rotten leaf soil.

2. Lay a layer of soil at the bottom of the flowerpot, then add some of these fallen leaves, and then bury the soil, and then spread another layer of fallen leaves so repeatedly, three or four layers will be fine.

3. Pour it thoroughly after it is all laid. Put some ferrous sulfate in it, seal it, put it in a place with higher temperature, and rett the soil.

4. Open it every once in a while and keep it moist. Generally, acid soil can be obtained in 4 to 6 months.

5. Acid soil can be used to grow flowers such as Milan, camellia, jasmine, gardenia and rhododendron.

Let's take a look at the steps to improve the manufacturing process.

What is used this time is something that is always available at home, so you don't have to look for it any more!

1. Vinegar (preferably rice vinegar without salt). The mixture of vinegar and water at the ratio of 1 to 100 can quickly change the acidity and basicity of the soil and turn the alkaline soil into a slightly acidic soil.

2. Peel water. Apple peel and leftover kernels, don't throw them away, soak them in water overnight, and then use the water to water the flowers, which can gradually turn the alkaline soil into acid. The rotten apple, put in a mineral water bottle and fermented for more than a month, is also a very good acid flower fertilizer. Previous videos have shared with you this rotten apple making flower fertilizer video.

3. Wash rice water. Many friends say that rice panning water is very easy to use, not only can change the acidity and basicity of the soil, but also can be used as fertilizer. Indeed, pay attention to the cooking before use, sealed with water, the temperature is high for two weeks, and then mix with water at 1:20 to water the flowers on the line.

With acidic soil, jasmine is guaranteed to grow well.

So what else do you need to pay attention to to maintain jasmine?

1. The light should be sufficient.

Jasmine is fond of hot, humid, ventilated environment and needs plenty of light. Jasmine is afraid of the cold, and the north needs to keep warm in autumn and winter.

2. don't water too much.

Jasmine is more resistant to drought, generally wait until more than half of the soil is dry before watering, watering once a week is easy to grow.

3. Fertilizer should be kept up with.

Jasmine in the growing period should pay attention to fertilization, usually can apply multi-element fertilizer, can also use chicken manure, bone powder as the base fertilizer mixed in the soil, bud period can be applied phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. There is enough nutrition to produce more branches and buds.

4. Pay attention to pruning.

Jasmine usually blossoms on new branches, but old branches do not blossom or rarely bloom, so jasmine must prune the residual flowers and branches in time after blooming.

There are two principles for pruning:

During the flowering period, if the flowers bloom slowly, pay attention to cutting off the weak buds and the leaves near the large buds to ensure that the flowers open.

In spring, jasmine can be re-pruned, even if only the bare stem is trimmed, as long as there is no problem with the root system, it will grow quickly. Usually after flowering, only two pairs of leaves and two growth nodes of each branch are left, and the rest are cut off. Heavy pruning is to promote the development of lateral branches and make jasmine more luxuriant.

Learned these methods, and then try to deal with the beloved jasmine bar, is not a little eager to try it, then hurry up!
