To maintain jasmine, ensure enough sunlight. Water 2-3 times a week in spring and autumn to keep the soil moist. Apply nitrogen fertilizer once every half month during the peak growing season, apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer during the flowering period, and prune off diseased branches and leaves and dead branches and leaves during the growth period. Propagation is generally carried out by layering or cuttings.

1. Light: Only when there is enough sunlight can it grow better. The growing environment cannot be without sunlight. Too much shade will cause the branches and leaves to grow elongated, and there will also be no flowering. However, when the hot sun appears in summer, it must be shaded.

2. Water: Try to water 2-3 times a week in spring and autumn, and water every day in summer. It is best to water in the morning or evening, just keep the soil moist, and there should be no excess water in the pot soil. In addition, watering should be done thoroughly, otherwise the roots will not be able to absorb water.

3. Fertilization: During its peak growth season, apply it at intervals of half a month. Apply nitrogen fertilizer once, before flowering, apply less nitrogen fertilizer and more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. When blooming, it needs a lot of nutrients, so apply as much phosphorus and potassium fertilizer as possible.

4. Pruning: During the growth period of jasmine, diseased branches and dead branches and leaves need to be pruned, and excessively long branches should also be shortened appropriately. After the flowering period, the remaining flowers should be removed promptly, otherwise more nutrients will be consumed.

1 2. Layering propagation: Cut off the epidermis of a well-growing branch 15cm from the top, expose the stem and bury the wound in the soil. After fixing, water it appropriately and it will take about a month for roots to take root.

2. Propagation by cuttings: cut branches with a length of 10cm , remove the base leaves, apply some rooting powder to the wound, insert it into the substrate and water it thoroughly. If the temperature is low, you can use plastic film to keep it warm. It will take about 40 days for roots to take root.
