What if potted jasmine doesn't blossom?

In the eyes of many people, jasmine is a "flowering machine", which shows that its flowering period is long enough. In fact, jasmine blooms from May to November every year, but it is not known that jasmine blossoms from new branches, one crop after another, which is why it blossoms for so long.

Although jasmine has a long flowering period and a large number of flowers, it is a kind of plant that blossoms easily. But there are still potted friends who encounter the phenomenon that their own potted jasmine flowers do not bloom. Considering that jasmine blossoms need sufficient nutrients, so the use of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer is enough, maintenance is also very attentive, but there will still be the phenomenon of non-flowering, which really makes people feel a little distressed and confused.

In fact, the satisfaction of conditions such as bright environment, ventilation, suitable temperature and adequate water and fertilizer is often the necessary guarantee for flowering, which does not necessarily mean that jasmine can blossom. So, what if potted jasmine doesn't blossom? If jasmine still does not blossom when all these conditions are met, then we have to consider the other two factors.

First, attach importance to pruning

The jasmine plant has a strong germination ability and grows luxuriantly in the peak growing season. If we ignore pruning in the maintenance and management work, it may lead to the phenomenon that only branches and leaves do not blossom. And even if pruning, it can not be carried out blindly, it needs to be carried out in accordance with scientific methods. In principle, it is to count 2 pairs of leaves down along the receptacle, and then cut off the upper part.

But pruning is limited to this, and it is also necessary to cut off old, weak and diseased branches, long branches, withered branches and leaves, which can not only save some nutrition, but also stimulate plant germination. Although a small number of buds may still be formed on a few weak or long branches, it is difficult to blossom because of their limited nutrients, and the quality is not high even if they bloom sporadically. Therefore, it needs to be cut off in time.

Second, increase the light

Jasmine is in full bloom at the height of summer because it likes a growing environment with high temperature and plenty of light. But at the same time, it can not bear the hot sun for a long time, so many potted friends directly move it to a cool place indoors for maintenance in summer, which leads to lack of light and causes the plant to grow branches and leaves without blooming.

In fact, even in the middle of summer, we need to provide it with plenty of light. Although try not to expose it for a long time, we can put it in the shade of a big tree, or move it to an open balcony for proper shade. But to ensure that it can fully harvest scattered light, which is very important for its flowering.

If we encounter the situation mentioned by the editor today, then when other maintenance conditions are met, on the one hand, we should improve the conditions of receiving light, and on the other hand, we should combine pruning to maintain. Pruning can not only reduce nutrient consumption, but also improve the ventilation and light transmission of potted plants, so that plants can better carry out photosynthesis, so as to promote growth, and finally achieve flowering and pot burst.
