When does Brazilian Jasmine Bloom & Harvest

The flowering period of Brasilian jasmine is relatively long, and it blooms almost half a year. The flowering period of Brasilian jasmine is mainly concentrated in summer and autumn. When brazilian jasmine blooms, the Corolla is funnel-shaped, and the flower colors are red, peach, orange and pink. Brasilian Jasmine has bright colors and is more ornamental. If you want Brasilian jasmine to blossom longer and more beautiful, you should pay attention to the usual maintenance and management. To make it more exposed to the sun and good temperature control, we also need to ensure sufficient fertilizer and water, so that it can blossom better in this environment.

Brazilian Jasmine Care in Detail

Watering

The climate is different throughout the year, and we water Brazilian Jasmine at different frequencies. We can water a small amount in early spring. When the temperature rises, we should water it in time, and water it every three days or so. The evaporation rate of water is fast in summer. We can water it every 1-2 days and spray water to increase the humidity. It should also be watered in time just in autumn. As the temperature drops, it can be watered once every 4-5 days. In winter, you can water Brazilian Jasmine once a week and control the watering frequency,

Soil

The soil for breeding Brazilian Jasmine can be mixed with humus and coarse sand. Such soil has certain air permeability, sufficient nutrients and not poor drainage capacity, which can make Brazilian Jasmine grow better and maintain a good growth state. If Brazilian jasmine is planted in a pot, we can also add an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer to the soil.

Light

We'd better keep Brazilian Jasmine in a place with as much light as possible and keep more than 6 hours of direct light every day. It's best to shelter from wind and rain under the balcony. Good ventilation of the environment is very important. We should avoid keeping Brazilian Jasmine in an air tight environment, which is suitable for cultivation as a climbing plant on the balcony.

Temperature

Brasilian jasmine is a tropical positive plant, which likes high temperature and light and can tolerate semi-shade. Brazilian jasmine is suitable to grow in an environment of 2 ~ 30 ℃. When the temperature is lower than 10 ℃, the plant is in a semi deciduous state. When the temperature is lower than 5 ℃, it will be frostbitten and die at 0 ℃. During the growth period, we should give Brazilian Jasmine sufficient light to increase the flowering amount of Brazilian jasmine.

Humidity

Brazilian Jasmine has high requirements for water. If it is too wet, the roots will suffer and even other diseases; If it is too dry, it will affect the absorption of fertilizer. We can properly water Brazilian Jasmine more in summer and less in winter, because Brazilian Jasmine requires air humidity between 70% - 80%.

Fertilizer

Brazilian Jasmine has a high demand for fertilizer, especially before flowering. From April, it is necessary to supplement thin organic fertilizer once or twice a week. It is best to use concentrated organic liquid fertilizer. Fertilization will be stopped in September. After it cools in autumn, avoid applying fertilizer to Brazilian jasmine.

Pruning

Brasilian Jasmine needs pruning during its growth. We can remove the top bud of Brasilian jasmine and remove the branches at the top of Brasilian jasmine, so as to promote the growth of more branches and increase the amount of flowering. Brazilian Jasmine grows vigorously and its branches grow disorderly. You can thinly cut the plants, cut off the Yellow branches and leaves, and remove the thin and weak branches, dead branches, old branches, inner bore branches and Cross branches. After the flowering period, we can trim the remaining flowers, cut short the flower branches, and cut off the withered flower branches.

Repotting

The potted Brazilian Jasmine needs to change the pot and soil once after 1-2 years. When changing the pot soil, we can properly trim the roots and cut off the old roots and rotten roots. The over-dense branches on the plant can also be properly pruned, and then prepare new soil for washing and planting.
Brasilian Jasmine can change pots either in spring or after the flowers wither in autumn. Special attention should be paid to removing the pot. We can first remove the shelf or the hook on the edge of the pot, and then take the plant out of the pot, properly trim the roots and cut off the unhealthy roots. We should select the appropriate flower pot, fill it with loose sand, and then plant Brazilian jasmine, pour water into it, put it in astigmatism, etc.

Pest & Disease Control

Brazilian jasmine is generally less. The common disease of Brazilian jasmine is mainly root rot. Pests include whitefly and so on.
  • Root rot: the occurrence of root rot is mostly caused by too wet soil, poor drainage or too low temperature. After the plant was infected, the leaves withered quickly, then the roots rotted and the plant died slowly. We can choose a well drained substrate for Brazilian jasmine, water it alternately dry and wet, and place the plants in a bright and hot place.
  • Whitefly: we can use 1000 times of 10% chlorpyrifos EC to deal with whitefly, or 4000 times of 20% kangmnduonong solvent.

Brazilian jasmine propagation from cutting is implemented in spring and autumn. We can cut 1-2-year-old branches with 2-3 nodes and multiple leaves.

Prepare and prepare suitable soil, put the soil into the flower pot, and plant Brazilian Jasmine in the soil.

The base of the branches is broken about 1-2 cm with a sharp knife. Press the wound of the branch into the soil, cover it with soil and compact it. A brick can be covered here to ensure compaction. Keep the temperature and humidity well. For about three months, Brazilian Jasmine can take root at the wound. At this time, the junction can be cut off, so that new plants can be cultivated.

The buds are falling out in Brazilian Jasmine, which may be caused by lack of light. Without enough light, the Brazilian Jasmine cannot carry out photosynthesis.

The buds of brazilian jasmine plant fall off, probably due to lack of light. Brazilian jasmine is fond of light and needs sufficient light during its growth to promote the release of flowers. Brazilian Jasmine has been kept indoors for long-term maintenance, but the indoor light is insufficient. Brazilian jasmine is unable to photosynthesize and accumulate nutrients, and the buds gradually fall off in later stages.

Brazilian Jasmine has a high demand for water in the early flowering period, and the lack of water will also cause the buds to drop. When we care for Brazilian Jasmine, if Brazilian Jasmine is not watered for a long time or supplemented with water in a dry climate, the buds of Brazilian Jasmine will fall off in the later period. Excessive watering of Brazilian jasmine during curing can also cause the buds to fall off.

Before flowering, the buds fall off due to lack of fertilizer. Brazilian jasmine needs a proper amount of fertilizer in flowering, and enough fertilizer can promote the growth of flowers. When we care for Brazilian jasmine, if the Brazilian Jasmine is fertilized in time, the Brazilian Jasmine lacks fertilizer. Under the condition of insufficient nutrition, a large number of flower buds will fall off in the later period, which will affect the opening of flowers.

When we care for Brazilian jasmine plant, the temperature is low, and will also make the bud fall off. During curing, Brazilian jasmine can grow normally only when the temperature is between 20 and 30 degrees.
