Can jasmine be repotted in summer? How to prune the newly bought jasmine?

The fragrance of jasmine is refreshing and refreshing, and the white flowers of jasmine are also very beautiful. Therefore, many people grow jasmine, and there are always some questions, such as whether it is possible to change the pot in summer? How to prune the new seedlings?

Can jasmine be repotted in summer?

The first situation is that you have just bought jasmine from the flower market. At this time, it is easy to replace the soil and flowerpot of jasmine. If you don’t like the original flowerpot, you can replace the flowerpot without using the original soil.

The second situation is that after growing the plant at home for a long time, you feel that the flowerpot is too small to meet the growth needs of the plant. At this time, if you want to change the flowerpot, it is okay not to divide the plant. If you want to divide the plant, it is best to do it in autumn or early spring, otherwise it will cause root damage and affect the normal growth of the plant.

The third situation is that the planted jasmine has a disease, for example, root rot caused by too much water or unsuitable potting soil. At this time, the soil needs to be replaced. After the new soil is replaced, the diseased plants need to be disinfected. Fungicides such as carbendazim and thiophanate-methyl can be used.

The best time to repot any plant is in spring and autumn, because the temperature is low, the light is suitable for plant growth, and the survival rate is higher. Therefore, if you must repot, it is recommended to avoid the hot summer.

How to prune the newly bought jasmine

The newly bought jasmine must be pruned and repotted to keep it alive, otherwise it will not only not grow well, but also not bloom easily. Don't worry about whether the plant shape is ugly or not. The most important task at present is to keep the jasmine alive. First, trim off all the flower buds and buds on the jasmine branches, and then cut off the withered branches and leaves in time during the maintenance process.

Jasmine should be pruned mainly at two times. One is the growing season, between spring and autumn, when it needs to be pruned twice. The first is around the Qingming Festival, when the jasmine is just about to sprout, and the dense and poorly growing buds should be pruned off. The second time is after the flowers have faded, between August and September.

The second time period is the dormant period. Before spring comes, the dead branches, diseased and insect-infested branches of the jasmine should be cut off to reduce unnecessary nutrient consumption and allow the jasmine to recuperate.

During the first pruning during the growing season, the densely growing fibrous roots should be cut off, as well as the flower buds that are too densely distributed on the branches and are not growing well. This will not only make the flowers look beautiful, but also save nutrients.

After the flowers fade, you need to prune again and again. In order to reduce the loss of nutrients, remove some leaves first. Keep 3-5 nodes on each branch, and then cut off the top to promote the germination of new branches.

If you prune the jasmine before it sprouts in the spring, cut off the overgrown, weak, diseased and insect-infested branches. Then shorten the tops of the annual branches, leaving only about 10-15 cm of the lower branches. Remove all the leaves on the jasmine branches. This pruning will help the jasmine grow shorter, stronger and more beautiful.

How to make jasmine bloom more

Light: Jasmine is a sun-loving plant that prefers plenty of sunlight and a warm and humid environment.

Soil: It prefers slightly acidic soil. If the soil environment is alkaline, the growth and development of the plant will be affected, and it may not bloom.

Water: Too much watering will cause the roots to rot or mold due to poor breathing, while too little watering will cause the plant to wilt. You can water more often, until there is no water accumulation in the pot. In summer, you should increase watering appropriately, watering once in the morning and evening, and usually use a spray bottle to spray jasmine flowers with water to prevent the leaves from drying out too much, causing the leaves to dry and turn yellow.

Fertilizer: Too much nitrogen fertilizer and a lack of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer will inhibit the growth of reproductive organs and affect flowering. Generally, apply thin fertilizer once a week or so, using compound fertilizer, mainly nitrogen fertilizer.

Temperature: If the temperature of the environment in which jasmine grows does not reach the minimum temperature required for flower bud differentiation and bud development, it will not bloom.
