Fragrant jasmine came to us from vibrant India and the island of Ceylon . Planting and caring for this shrub does not cause any problems, so many gardeners are eager to get such a miracle. Jasmine is often used to decorate plots, its flowers are suitable for cutting, because they are very beautiful and have a persistent and delicate aroma. The plant does not care what soil it grows on, but it does not like stagnant groundwater and excessive waterlogging. Lighting can be anything: in the shade and in the sun, amazing jasmine blooms well.
Shrub (planting and care require compliance with certain rules) responds well to feeding. On the territory where jasmine will be planted, it is necessary to introduce humus and nitrophos. Top dressing should be carried out every year in the spring at a time when shoots are growing. Care consists in constant watering, loosening the soil and removing old and diseased branches. The shrub is usually planted in the ground in early spring or autumn, it does not need to be covered for winter. The plant propagates by layering, cuttings or division. Excellent hedges are obtained from the bushes, and terry forms look spectacular in single plantings.
In addition to the garden, there is indoor jasmine. Planting and care do not require special knowledge, so many gardeners decide to purchase sambac. Indoor flower is not moody, and its flowers are very beautiful and fragrant. Jasmine needs soil from clay-turf, leafy soil and sand. The plant tolerates lime very poorly, so it should not be in the substrate, and it should be watered only with acidified and settled water. Otherwise, growth will be slow, and flowering rare.
Water is what jasmine really loves. Planting and care require regular watering, although the plant likes moisture, but it is important not to overdo it - the earthen lump should dry out. The abundance of humidification is also affected by air temperature, in summer this should be done more often, and less often in winter. Leaves respond well to spraying. Young specimens should be transplanted in the spring every year, and adults only every three years. With age, plants should increase the amount of clay-turf soil in the substrate.
Compliance with a certain temperature regime is another condition under which jasmine grows. Planting and care (the photo will allow gardeners to understand how to handle the plant) involve maintaining the room at about 20 ° C, in winter the temperature should not drop below 8 ° C. In the warm season, jasmine can be taken out to the balcony or to the garden, and fresh air will only benefit him. Direct sunlight will not damage the plant, but it is better to cover it at noon.
Like all creepers, jasmine also needs regular pruning. Planting and care also involves trimming the plant to give the shape of a bush. Of course, you can braid any support with long lashes, but over time, the branches can become bare and lose their decorative effect. In addition, pruning has a beneficial effect on flowering, the formation of side shoots. After this procedure, the liana becomes thick and completely covered with buds. Aphids, red
spider mites and whiteflies can attack jasmine, so you need to take care of the purity of the leaves and remove pests in a timely manner.
