is currently in the Frost Descent solar term, and most of the jasmine flowers have stopped blooming. Jasmine is a plant that likes warmth and is afraid of coldness. If it is not well maintained in autumn, it is easy to frostbite the branches in winter, affecting the amount of flowers in the second year. Flower lovers must pay attention to maintenance in autumn and prepare for winter. There are three most common mistakes when growing jasmine flowers after frost. Only by avoiding them all can the plant stems be thick and the leaves are green, laying a solid foundation for winter.
1. Move back to the indoor room too early
Jasmine is a typical southern flower. It likes a warmer environment. The most suitable growth temperature is between 20 and 25 degrees. If the temperature is below 10 degrees, it will enter the dormant period. It stops growing and starts to fall off the leaves. There will be slight freezing damage on the branches from 0 to 5 degrees, and it will be frozen to death below 0 degrees. It is now October, and the lowest temperature in most areas is close to 10 degrees. Many flower lovers are anxious to move the jasmine leaves they raise yellow and fall, which will be detrimental to winter.
Plants are like humans and are naturally cold-resistant. Although the weather has begun to cool down now, it is not very cold overall. Don’t rush to move the jasmine flowers indoors first, and keep them outdoors for a while. As long as the minimum temperature of is not less than 5 degrees, you can keep them outdoors . Doing this will train Jasmine to adapt to the cold, improve cold resistance, and prepare for winter.
2. Trim it too much
When the temperature is close to 5 degrees, you should quickly move Jasmine back indoors. Many flower lovers will prune jasmine branches when moving back to the house, hoping to make the plant shape more neat. It is okay to trim Jasmine before moving back to the house, but you should not start too heavy or cut too much, otherwise it will also affect Jasmine's winter.
The new and old branches of jasmine have very different frost resistance. The old branches of jasmine can tolerate lower temperatures and will not be frozen, and will also sprout and bloom in the next year. Jasmine's new branches are very unlucky and are prone to frostbite when the temperature is low in winter. If you start too hard when pruning, many old branches will be cut off, which will greatly reduce the plant's ability to resist freezing and affect the amount of flowers in the second year.
3. Watering and fertilizing is too diligent
In different seasons, jasmine has different needs for watering and fertilization. In summer, jasmine grows very quickly at high temperatures and evaporates a lot of water, so you need to water more and fertilize more. However, in autumn, the temperature gradually drops, and jasmine grows slowly or even does not grow. If you water too much at this time, it will increase the burden on the root system, causing root burning and rotting. When the temperature is below 15 degrees, stop fertilizing the jasmine completely and reduce the watering frequency.
However, there is an exception: if the temperature of the flower pot is relatively high after it is moved indoors, the jasmine can still grow, so you can add watering and apply a little fertilizer.
