Jasmine is a beautiful flower that is commonly found in many people's gardens or balconies. Its floral fragrance is intoxicating. For jasmine to grow strong and flourish, we need to provide it with proper care. Among them, watering and fertilization are two very important aspects.
First, let's talk about watering. Jasmine has a greater need for water, but it is also necessary to pay attention to the reasonable control of the amount and frequency of watering. Too much water can cause root rot and affect the growth of the plant. Therefore, when watering, we should grasp the following points:
1. Watering amount: Avoid applying too much water at once. In general, the amount of jasmine watered each time should be able to moisten the entire potting soil, moderately penetrating into the deep root system. If the potting soil is dry, you can water it more, but not too often.
2. The frequency of watering: Control the frequency of watering according to the season and temperature changes. In summer, when it is hot and dry, you can increase the frequency of watering, and in winter, when it is cold, you need to reduce the frequency of watering, and take care to avoid pouring cold water directly on the flowers and leaves.
Secondly, the maintenance of jasmine also requires fertilization. Proper fertilization can promote the growth of jasmine, making its branches thick, the leaves green, and the flowers to support the pot. There are two types of "fertilizer water" for us to choose from:
1. Organic fertilizer: Organic fertilizer plays a good role in promoting the growth of jasmine. We can choose a mature organic fertilizer, such as well-rotted compost or humus, and spread it evenly on the surface of the potting soil. Then water thoroughly with water to allow the organic fertilizer to penetrate the root system fully. Fertilization is usually done every other month or so.
2. Nutrient solution: Jasmine can also be fertilized with some nutrient solution suitable for flowers. Common flower nutrient solutions include nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and trace elements. We can choose a good quality nutrient solution, dilute it according to the instructions, and pour it evenly in the potting soil. It is usually done at regular intervals to avoid over-fertilization causing damage to the plants.
In addition to watering and fertilizing, care should be taken to provide jasmine with the right light and temperature conditions. Jasmine loves full sun, but also avoid sun exposure. In the summer heat, jasmine can be placed in the shade to avoid sunburn of the leaves. In terms of temperature, jasmine is suitable for growing at a temperature of 15-25 degrees Celsius, and you need to pay attention to keeping warm when it is cold in winter.
To sum up, raising jasmine requires attention to the two key steps of watering and fertilizing. With proper watering and proper fertilization, we can make jasmine flowers thrive, with thick branches, green leaves, and flowering pots. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to other factors such as light and temperature to create good conditions for the growth of jasmine. Hopefully, these maintenance methods will help you grow jasmine.
