Jasmine: what is needed to grow at home
Now that you already know some Jasmine options to decorate and perfume your home or garden, how about learning what is essential to cultivate it correctly? Follow the main points that deserve attention from the gardening enthusiast.
What is the best lighting for Jasmine?
As it is a plant native to hot and dry regions, Jasmine needs full exposure to the sun's rays, at most in partial shade depending on the type you choose. Therefore, the best places to grow it are open gardens, balconies and, in the case of apartments, very close to windows.
Choose the right substrate
The ideal substrate to promote healthy growth is one rich in organic matter with earthworm humus and animal manure. In addition, it is necessary to have good drainage to avoid waterlogging and, consequently, the rotting of the roots.
Annual fertilization
The ideal way to ensure that your Jasmine plant always has the necessary nutrients for perennial development is annual soil fertilization. Always choose fertilizers rich in organic matter, such as castor bean cake. It is important to remember that fertilization should be done close to the edge of the vase for better absorption of vitamins.
How to water the plant?
Like all plant species native to warm places, it needs moist soil to absorb nutrients. Therefore, it is recommended to irrigate the land whenever it is getting dry, especially in the hottest seasons of the year, such as spring and summer.
Pest control
The plant is susceptible to the appearance of pests, especially when grown directly in the soil, the most common are: aphids, cochineal, spider mites and whitefly. Therefore, it is recommended to apply fungicides and pest control products shortly before flowering.
Protect the plant from the cold
Did you know that she is a plant that doesn't get along very well in very low temperatures? Because of this, during the winter, a good practice is to place her pot in a protected place, as long as there is natural lighting. For those who grow the plant in open places, a valid alternative is to cover the roots of the plant with straw. Your little plant will definitely thank you!
