Pruning methods of jasmine flowers

Jasmine long flowering period, from early summer to late autumn flowering, pure elegant, fragrant fragrance, loved by people. But many people jasmine pruning method unreasonable, resulting in canopy closed, flowers small, flowers less, plant weakness, let's take a look at jasmine pruning method!

Jasmine pruning proverb

Jasmine is not pruned, branches weak flowers are very obvious, pruning should be ruthless, flowering is stable.

Jasmine pruning method

1, growth period pruning: from spring germination to winter before, promote new branches neat, strong. Blind branches (not flowering branches), excessive long branches, weak branches, pest branches, etc. should be cut off at any time to facilitate good ventilation and light transmission; flower stalks and over-dense branches should be cut off in time after each flower to promote axillary bud germination, so as to achieve the goal of long lateral branches, multiple buds and more flowers.

2. Dormancy pruning: before germination in spring, promote the first branch to be neat and thick, and adjust the crown. Cut off diseased branches, dead branches, twigs; truncate the apex of annual branches, leaving the base and 10-15 cm; remove all leaves from the tree. Generally, Jasmine flowers must have branched leaf buds (growth points) at the connection position of each petiole and stem. If it is not pruned, a new branch will grow at the growth point above the flowering branch (facing the sky), and after artificial pruning, the probability of growing two branches will be greatly increased, so the more branches, of course, the more buds. If you do not prune its growth and there is also a disadvantage is that the stem and leaf growth is too high, and its new stem is a weak leggy type, it is easy to lodge.

3, post-flowering management: after autumn (after the third period of flowering) do not prune, after flowering she will gradually enter a dormant state no longer grow new leaves, but the leaves will not fall, but the whole plant stopped growing! However, the advantage of keeping leaves is that in case of autumn tiger or warm winter, the leaves can still carry out photosynthesis, and the leaves can still be seen, rather than leaving a pair of ugly and leafless dead branches for winter. Be sure to wait until early spring to observe when the leaves have just sprouted before transplanting and changing the soil and doing the first major pruning.

Maintenance of Jasmine Flower in Flowering Period

Jasmine flowers are very fond of fertilizer. As long as they are properly maintained, potted jasmine flowers can bloom three times a year. If fertilizer is insufficient and nutrients are not enough, after flowering once, they will no longer bloom. If management is in place, they can be kept from the end of May to the beginning of November. The key is pruning, sunshine and fertilizer. Jasmine flowers one after another from early summer. If managed properly, it can bloom three times.

1. In the first ten days of June, jasmine flowers bloom early one after another. The method of flower picking is to pick off the leafy branches and promote the new branches to grow again. The branches and leaves are lush. At this time, apply light fertilizer water twice a week and keep the basin soil moist.

2. From late June to early July is the first period of flowering. At this time, it is necessary to strengthen fertilizer and water management, apply thin fertilizer frequently, fertilize once every two days, apply fully decomposed organic liquid fertilizer, and the ratio of fertilizer to water is 1:4. Water should be sufficient, usually once a day. Watering is usually best done in the morning, while fertilizing is best done in the evening. This continues until late July, due to sufficient fertilizer and water, can make flowers bloom larger and more.

3, early August, the second phase of flower formation, fertilization at this time should be slightly thicker than before, generally half of fertilizer and water is appropriate. In order to promote jasmine better flowering, but also to spray superphosphate solution to the leaves. In late August, gradually reduce fertilization, 6~7 days apply once, watering still need more, keep 2 days once.

4, early September to early October, the third phase of flower formation, at this time should stop fertilization, watering amount should also gradually reduce, because the weather has gradually turned cool, will affect the formation of flower buds, so the number of flowers is less, to mid-October after the end of flowering, just keep the pot soil slightly wet.
