Jasmine plant is relatively small, small flowers, will not press branches, very suitable for pot culture, but pot planting can not allow branches to grow randomly, need to adjust branches, appropriate shape. In this way, the ornamental value can be improved, and the plant shape will not be scattered. How to trim, what are the principles, what is the method of pruning? now let's take a look!

1. Growth pruning

Mainly in the period from sprouting to the beginning of winter, it can be regarded as the growth period. Pruning at this time, mainly prune the old branches, keep the new strong branches, and renew the branches. In the period of prosperity and growth, it is easy to grow branches, which must be reduced, otherwise they will directly disturb the shape, and the growing branches are not easy to blossom. During the period of high temperature and humidity, it is easy to get sick, and insects are also easy to harm. It is best to cut off the diseased branches and leaves as soon as they are found. Only branches that interfere with ventilation inside should be removed.

2. Winter pruning

Plants go dormant in winter and can be pruned throughout the winter, when they are mainly pruned, as well as late autumn shoots, and some small, poorly developed branches can be cut off. For the truncated branches of the current year, the length of the base is 15 cm, but the weak branches of the current year may not be retained.

3. Flowering and pruning

When the new shoot grows to 5 nodes in spring, it begins to pick the heart, which is to prevent the tender leaves of the branches without buds from being removed, so as to save nutrition and help other branches bloom. Some of the old leaves at the bottom can be removed properly. Pick the heart of the flowering branches to ensure the supply of nutrients to the buds.

4. Pruning after flowering

Flowering needs to consume a lot of nutrients, so the plant will supply most of the nutrients to flowering, and the plants after flowering are relatively weak. At this time, cut off the flower branches and cut off all the branches that have blossomed. In this way, we can avoid further consumption, and some residual flowers should also be cut off. Anyway, they will not blossom again.

Potted jasmine pruning is for jasmine to grow well and blossom smoothly. After flowering, ensure good flowering in the coming year. And maintain the shape of growth.
