Jasmine is a flower that every family loves to raise, to winter is the key season for maintaining it, many people raise jasmine in the summer how to raise it is okay, but once it comes to winter, jasmine is raised by him to die, which is really a pity, today I will teach you 5 kinds of key skills for raising jasmine in winter.
First, trimming
Many people do not prune jasmine in winter, listen to people on the Internet say what spring pruning, and some say summer pruning, which is completely ignorant of raising jasmine. Jasmine in addition to winter pruning, that can only be called "light shearing", belongs to the modeling of the pruning more, only in winter, jasmine can be "re-pruned", that is, a large number of jasmine branches. Why? If there is no pruning in winter, a large number of branches retained in winter will consume the limited nutrients of the pot, what will be used to separate the flowers in the next year? In winter, when the temperature is about 5 degrees, we can prune the jasmine flowers in large quantities, only keeping the branches above the pot of about 20 centimeters, and the branches above this height can be pruned off, so that it can sleep for the winter and accumulate nutrients. If the northern florist has a warm temperature at home, you can trim the jasmine slightly in a small amount.
Second, lighting
There is a saying called "undead jasmine", which tells us that jasmine must need to be basked in the sun, even in winter, if it is raised indoors for a long time, jasmine will grow in large numbers, and the future will bloom badly or not flower at all, so once the sun is out in winter, we must move the jasmine flowers out to dry.
Third, water
The principle of watering jasmine flowers in winter is to prefer less than more, which is mainly because after the temperature is reduced in winter, jasmine flowers will be in a dormant state, and the amount of water required for jasmine flowers in this state is greatly reduced, if this time to water the jasmine flowers too much, it is easy to cause water rotten roots, or direct frostbite root system, we know that frostbite is irreversible damage, we must avoid excessive watering. I teach everyone that before watering, you must touch the soil of the jasmine flowers with your hands, do not be afraid of dirty, do not water if you feel the soil is wet, and feel that the soil is dry to water.
Fourth, ventilation
Jasmine is a very easy to dye insect flowers, if the closed balcony long-term air circulation, it is easy to cause the invasion of insect pests such as insect shell insects, especially in winter the air is relatively dry, this time we need to do two things. First, often open the window ventilation, let the air circulate, can avoid pest infection, the second often spray the leaves, can increase the air humidity around the leaves, prevent yellow leaves and dry tips.
Fifth, fertilize
Winter fertilization is mainly based on organic fertilizer, you can change the pot when the organic fertilizer as the bottom fertilizer, you can also apply organic fertilizer directly in the soil, many novice flower friends do not understand, what is organic fertilizer, why use organic fertilizer? I teach you that organic fertilizer is sheep manure, cow manure, chicken manure and other organic fertilizers, rather than chemical fertilizers, the advantage of using it is that it will not be like a fertilizer in a week to fully release the fertility, its fertility can be released for several months, so that winter fertilization will not burn seedlings, but also can provide it after the spring nutrition and power.
