Among the flowers that bloom in summer, jasmine is considered the darling of summer. The whole summer is its peak flowering period. Although the flowering period of a single flower is very short, it blooms one after another and can bloom until autumn. Many people like jasmine for its pure white color and elegant floral fragrance, and there are also many ancillary industries developed with jasmine, specializing in the production of jasmine-related products.
I’m going too far. In family cultivation, jasmine is also liked by many flower lovers. Even though it has the shortcoming of a single flower blooming period, it does not hinder everyone's love for it at all. The flowers of jasmine are very delicate and cannot withstand sunlight. The higher the temperature, the shorter the flowering time. They are not resistant to wind. A strong wind can blow away all the petals. They are also not resistant to rain. A heavy rain will leave broken flowers all over the ground. . But in summer, there are really not many flowers that can compete with jasmine, as long as you grow jasmine well.
Many florists think that jasmine is easy to grow, but as they keep it, they always feel a little worse. Jasmine has not reached its best condition. This may be because in summer, some aspects of jasmine maintenance were not done properly. Jasmine has "six fears" in summer. Xiaogui would like to share with you.
1Afraid of poor light
Jasmine has always been called the "Jasmine that never dies". In summer, don't worry about jasmine being sunburned to death. There is no need to provide shade and maintenance. On the contrary, insufficient light will cause it to bloom less. , the branches are leggy. However, some flower friends will say, jasmine flowers are so sun-resistant, why did the ones I raised died in the sun? First of all, are you sure that the jasmine flowers died from the sun, rather than from drying out if you just exposed them without watering them? Jasmine is tolerant to sunlight and also likes it. However, potted jasmine can easily cause drought and water shortage when exposed to high temperatures and strong sunlight. In other words, jasmine is tolerant to sunlight but not drought-tolerant, and requires heavy watering.
2 Fear of poor ventilation
In fact, the ventilation problem is not only limited to jasmine. If the environment is not well ventilated, it is basically impossible to grow flowers. Ventilation is very important, especially in summer, in high temperature and high humidity environments. Without good ventilation to dissipate heat and moisture, jasmine will inevitably suffer from root rot and yellow leaves. Once the root system is damaged, growth will be limited. , and even the whole branch may die. Flowering will definitely be affected. Therefore, good ventilation is one of the key factors for raising jasmine and other flowers well.
3 Fear of insufficient nutrients
The flowering period of jasmine is very long, and it will bloom more than 4 flowers during the entire flowering period. Therefore, the limited pot soil alone for nutrient reserves is definitely not enough, and fertilization is essential. Otherwise, it really won’t be able to bloom big, white, fragrant flowers. Usually, jasmine flowers are fertilized with compound fertilizers or organic fertilizers. After the flowering period, every time a flower withers, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be applied, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate, which is very good, and Huaduoduo No. 2, which is also excellent. The usage of both fertilizers is the same, dilute it to 1000 times of water fertilizer, and then spray it on the leaves, once a week, 2 to 3 times in a row, and stop when the flower buds swell. If you are an experienced flower grower, you will definitely have Huaduoduo No. 2 or potassium dihydrogen phosphate at home.
4Afraid of not watering enough
Jasmine is known as the jasmine that never dies in the sun. We can safely put it in a full-sun environment in summer to bask in the sun. However, in a high-temperature and sunny environment, transpiration will inevitably be very serious. big. Watering must be kept up. If you are growing outdoors, in the current weather, you may need to water twice in the morning and evening to keep up with water consumption. Don't worry about whether there will be too much water. Don't worry. Jasmine is also relatively water-resistant. As long as it doesn't accumulate water for a long time, here comes the next topic.
5Afraid of hardening of pot soil
Even aquatic plants are afraid of simple accumulation of water and suffocation of the roots, and the soil quality is not good. Every time you water, it takes a long time for the water to soak in, but most of the time, it is just around the pot wall. The pot soil is soaked. The location where the main root system is located is still dry.This is the damage caused by compacted pot soil to flowers. Jasmine can't stand such potting soil. It needs to be exposed to the sun. If you water it at night, the potting soil will still be very moist after one night. Do you still dare to let your jasmine flower be exposed to the sun? The roots will definitely be overwhelmed. Therefore, a pot of good loose and breathable potting soil cannot be saved.
6 Afraid of not pruning
Jasmine has a characteristic, that is, new branches bloom. If you want to let it bloom more before the temperature drops, in addition to doing the above 5 points, this is particularly important, that is, you can prune. Pruning after flowering must be fast, accurate, and ruthless, so that jasmine can quickly sprout new branches and then give birth to new buds. When pruning, cut the two leaves under the flower, and then combine the previous five aspects of maintenance to allow jasmine to bloom more than 4 flowers throughout the flowering period.
Conclusion:
As long as jasmine does not make these 6 mistakes, it can show its most charming and beautiful side throughout the summer and even autumn. During the entire half-year flowering period, four crops of flowers can bloom. When cultivating jasmine, you should pay attention to these aspects and do not make mistakes easily. Otherwise, it will definitely have some impact on the jasmine and even reduce the number of flowers to bloom, which is not worth the gain. Okay, I am Xiaogui, I will share it here today, thank you all!
