How to hydroponically cultivate and maintain jasmine

1. Hydroponic method: For hydroponic forsythia, you can select strong branches from mature plants and directly insert them into clean water. The container can be a shallow-bottomed wide-mouth bottle with a water depth of 8 to 10 cm. Place it in a ventilated, semi-shaded place, and it will grow aquatic roots in about 20 days. You can wash the small soil-grown forsythia plants through the root washing method, plant them in the container, and add water to 1/3-1/2 of the root system.

2. Maintenance Guide: Temperature and light The temperature suitable for the growth of winter jasmine is 15-25℃, and it can tolerate a low temperature of -10℃ in winter. The suitable temperature during the flowering period is 12-16℃. Winter jasmine likes sunshine, but is also slightly shade-tolerant. Change the water every 2-3 days in the early stage, and change the water every 7-10 days after the water roots grow. Add nutrient solution when changing the water, and increase the use of nutrient solution during the growth and flowering periods.

3. Leaf spot and aphid diseases are occasionally found in hydroponic jasmine. When leaf spot disease is found, the diseased leaves should be removed in time, and any signs of recurrence should be observed at any time; aphid disease is mainly caught manually, and any eggs attached should be observed at any time to avoid recurrence.

Winter jasmine does not require much fertilizer, only a small amount of fertilizer is needed. On the contrary, if too much fertilizer is applied, it will affect the growth of winter jasmine, causing its branches to become sparse and the flowers to become sparse. The frequency of fertilization should be maintained at about once every two months, but do not fertilize during the growth period or dormancy period.

Add the required organic fertilizer to a certain amount of water to make liquid fertilizer, and then spray it directly.

2. Types of Fertilization

In order to promote the differentiation of flower buds, apply more fertilizers mainly containing phosphorus and potassium in autumn, but do not apply any fertilizers when it blooms. After the flowers have finished blooming, after cleaning up some dead branches, you need to irrigate with some thin fertilizer.
