Growing jasmine requires well-drained and breathable soil, which can be prepared by mixing garden soil, compost and river sand. The lighting time per day should be no less than 8 hours. Water in time after the soil surface dries, and fertilize in time during the growth and flowering periods, once every two months. Propagation is mainly based on cuttings and layering. If you encounter pests and diseases, you need to cut off diseased branches and leaves, and then spray them with pesticides.

1. Breeding skills

1. Breeding skills

1. Soil: The growth of jasmine cannot be separated from the rich organic matter in the soil. Good drainage and air permeability also help roots breathe. You can mix garden soil with compost and river sand in a ratio of 2:2:1, and add a little animal manure or decomposed cake fertilizer.

2. Light: Jasmine is suitable for growing in an environment with good lighting, and the daily lighting time should be no less than 8 hours. Insufficient light can easily cause it to grow leggy and delay its flowering time. Indoor breeding must be placed in a place where it can see light for a long time.

3. Moisture: Jasmine prefers moisture. Do not wait until it is completely dry before watering, as this will be detrimental to its growth. Generally, the soil on the surface is relatively dry, but if it is slightly damp inside, it can be watered.

4. Fertilization: Jasmine has a great demand for fertilizer during the growth and flowering stages. During the peak growing season, organic fertilizer should be applied twice a month to fully replenish nutrients. During the flowering period, fertilize mainly with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. You can use potassium dihydrogen phosphate mixed with water to spray the leaves. Be careful not to spray the flower buds.

2. Reproduction skills

1 , Cutting: The cutting method is mostly carried out from April to October. Cut off 1-year-old mature branches, leaving two nodes on the top, and remove the lower leaves. Insert it in the sand bed, spray it with water and cover it with a bag to keep it warm and moisturized. It usually takes 40-60 days to take root.

2. Layering: Select a longer branch, carve the lower part of the node, and bury it in the soil. It can take root in one month and can be separated from the original plant in two months.

3. Pest and disease control

1 , Diseases: Common diseases include white silkworm, anthracnose, leaf spot and sooty disease. It is necessary to remove diseased branches and leaves and strengthen maintenance. Vitiligo and anthrax can be treated with chlorothalonil or zinc. Leaf spot and soot can be controlled by spraying with Bordeaux mixture.

2. Pest pests: The main pests are leaf roller moths and red spider mites. Among them, red spider mites have a strong reproductive capacity and require frequent spraying to prevent them. Dicofol can be used to prevent and control them.
