Landing in open ground
For landing choose sunny place, only with a sufficient amount of light, the chubushnik will bloom profusely. Plant it better in autumn, from September 10 to October 10. You can also plant the shrub in the spring, before the leaves open.
At the bottom of the planting pit, which should be deep enough, drainage is made so that moisture does not linger at the roots. Fill with fertile soil, adding rotted compost, ash, superphosphate. Chubushnik, the planting of which does not differ from other shrubs, prefers acidic soils. The seedling is placed in the hole so that the root collar is at the level of the soil, the roots are straightened. Then the soil is slightly compacted and watered well.
To create a hedge, the chubushnik is planted at a distance of 50 to 80 cm. It grows quickly, therefore, when planting, seedlings can be placed at a distance of 2 meters.
Chubushnik for abundant flowering requires feeding. Potassium-phosphorus fertilizers are applied in early spring. You can use complex preparations for flowering plants. After planting, the branches of the shrub are cut to 1/3 of the length.
Garden jasmine care
Chubushnik is unpretentious. Care comes down to watering, loosening the soil and weeding. The peculiarity of the plant is that it is very moisture-loving. For 1 adult bush is 20-30 liters of water for one watering.
Once a year, garden "jasmine" is fed with mullein solution, at the rate of a bucket per bush. In addition, after flowering, it is useful to add wood ash under the base of the bush.

Chubushnik is winter-hardy, and does not require special care in winter time, hibernates without shelter. Heat-loving young plants can be covered with spruce branches in autumn. Even when the branches of the chubushnik are frozen and buds are not visible on them in the spring, young shoots will grow back from the root if the bush is cut off at the base.
Shrub pruning technology
Garden "jasmine" needs formative and sanitary pruning, which is carried out once or twice a season - in early spring, before bud break and in autumn. By pruning shoots, they stimulate the growth of dormant buds. The bush can be made more compact, spherical, by cutting off the weak growth, to enhance the growth of strong branches.
Cardinal pruning cannot be carried out, because garden jasmine blooms on 3-year-old shoots. You can cut the lower, older branches that shade the bush. Pruning a mock-orange in spring leads to the appearance of a large number of young shoots, which make the bush very dense. It is advisable to cut off excess branches so that the shape remains loose, the plant is well ventilated. After flowering, dried inflorescences are removed with a pruner.
Mock breeding methods
Chubushnik is propagated by cuttings during flowering or immediately after it. The branch is broken off with the heel, and a stalk is made from it - the lower leaves are cut off, the following leaf plates are cut in half, the top is cut off. At least 2 nodes should remain on the handle.
