pruning indoor jasmine plant

This should be done in the spring, before the start of growth (end of February - March). You can safely shorten the shoots by a third, or even half if the lashes are liquid and stunted. Such pruning will not only give the plant a decent look, but also stimulate the development of lateral shoots on which flower buds will be tied. The same applies to pinching. They are especially relevant for young plants, in which there is nothing special to cut, and it is also very useful to selectively pinch adult plants throughout the entire growth period. Some varieties are pruned 3 times a year.

Propagation of indoor jasmine by seeds, layering and cuttings
It is quite difficult to grow indoor jasmine from seeds. Seeds have low germination and require special care depending on their variety. In most cases, you can germinate the seeds at home in pots with a special seed germination mixture, and then plant the seedlings outside after a spring frost.
Usually indoor jasmine is propagated in two ways: cuttings and air layering.
Propagation by air layering. Fill a small pot with soil that is being prepared as for transplanting, and place it near the mother plant. Make a small incision on the lower stem of an adult plant and press the incision to the ground in a small pot with a hairpin. Water the cuttings regularly. When young sprouts appear in a small pot, cut off the offspring from the mother plant.
Propagation by cuttings. Cut cuttings from an adult plant, 12-15 cm long, having 4-6 leaves. Put them in water or in a mixture (sand and leafy earth) for a month and a half. For better rooting, use heteroauxin or root. When the cuttings have roots and small leaves, transplant them into small pots with soil that is prepared in the same way as for transplanting.
Indoor jasmine pests and their control
He is practically not afraid of illness. Much more problems delivered by pests. The appearance of pests on a plant can lead to its death. More often than others, indoor jasmine is attacked spider mite, whitefly.

To combat this pest of indoor jasmine, drugs are successfully used: Actellik, Intavir, Agravertin.
Very annoying to the plant. It entangles the tops of the shrub, the places where new leaves are formed, with a thick white cobweb. As a result, the intensity of growth slows down significantly. In the absence of proper care, the plant may stop developing and dry out. You can fight aphids with chemicals eg Iskra Bio 2 ml per liter of water.

The bark on the young shoots of the garden mock orange is thin, easily flaking, which makes pruning bushes easier.
Description of mock orange at the time of flowering: bush height, photo of leaves and flowers
mock orange plant or garden jasmine (Philadelphus) belongs to the Hortensia family, its homeland is Europe, Eastern and Southeast Asia, North America. It is found in a large area from the Caucasus to the regions of Southern Europe.
In Russia, this shrub is often incorrectly called jasmine for the pronounced sweet aroma of flowers in some species of mock orange. True jasmine is a subtropical evergreen climbing and creeping plant from the Olive family. True jasmine and mock oranges are brought together by the similarity of the aroma of flowers, although among more than 50 species of mock orange there are representatives with a very weak aroma or no smell of flowers at all (large-flowered, Schrenk, Gordon).
Garden jasmine is amazing ornamental shrub which for some reason last years rarely seen on garden plots(The only exception is those who are more than a quarter of a century old). But it can be used as hedge, which separates two neighboring plots, and just as a decoration for any corner of the garden.
In recent years, more attention has been paid to this crop, and as a result we have varieties not only with white, but even with cream flowers, which have a very strong aroma, which in June-July attracts the attention of any plant passing by.
It is a spreading multi-stemmed deciduous upright shrub. The height of the mock orange is from 0.8 to 3.5 - 4 m, the bushes have a spherical crown.
The leaves of the mock orange are opposite, ovate-lanceolate or oval-pointed. Shoots are bare, used for making chibouks ( smoking pipes), hence its name. in the spring, yellow leaves shrubs begin to turn green, and by autumn the shrub loses them.

Mock orange is valued for its beauty and delicate aroma of flowers.
Plant garden jasmine prefers open sunny places and, although they endure partial shade, with strong shading they cease to bloom. They are very demanding on soil moisture and fertility, therefore, during the growing process, you should regularly feed them with organic and mineral fertilizers. Cannot tolerate close stagnation ground water. They respond well to pruning and are easily propagated by root suckers, layering, green and woody cuttings, bush division and unstratified seeds that can be sown in autumn, in snow and in spring.
Mock orange has sufficient winter hardiness, however different kinds and varieties can behave differently in climatic conditions Central Russia. Now anyone can enter our market planting material these shrubs. Therefore, it is dangerous to indiscriminately acquire species and varieties of foreign origin in a row: some of them tolerate frosts down to -25 ° C, while others can withstand only -15 ° C. In especially severe winters, even winter-hardy species and varieties can freeze to the level of snow cover, but due to the presence of a powerful root system, a frostbitten bush quickly grows after pruning damaged shoots. Harder to recover less winter-hardy varieties and species in which it can freeze and root system.
The duration of flowering of mock orange depends on its variety. Sometimes it blooms for two months! The flowers of the mock orange are quite large: in modern varieties, they can reach 6 cm in diameter. Of particular value is the flowering period of mock orange - June-July, when most garden crops have already faded.
But before flowering and after it, it does not create any beauty on the site, because the bush is ugly, ankle-length, upright with branches absurdly sticking out in all directions. Therefore, it is not necessary to put it in the foreground.
It transfers transplants at any time all summer, only the root system should not dry out. The plant requires attention: every year you need to cut out obsolete, lignified branches, broken and frozen. As soon as you stop following him, he will very quickly take on the appearance of a homeless tramp.
Methods for breeding mock orange
There are 3 main ways to propagate mock orange (garden jasmine). The first is by dividing the bush, but in this case you need to have the bush itself. And if he is not? You can try to buy it or ask a neighbor. The difficulty lies in the fact that mock orange seedlings are not sold everywhere, and the neighbors may well not have it.
It is easier to use layering, but again, for this you need to have a bush.
The easiest way is to propagate with green cuttings. Find summer green cutting jasmine is much simpler than the seedling itself.
You can propagate mock orange and jasmine with seeds that are sown in a school for growing immediately after seed collection (purchased before sowing, stratify in wet sand in the refrigerator for 3-4 months). They will grow in a year, but will not bloom soon, that way in 4-5 years. Terry forms cannot be propagated in this way (non-terry plants usually grow from them), they can be propagated exclusively by cuttings, well, and by dividing the bush, this is the most reliable.
Jasmine and mock orange are cut in early summer. Divide the bush in August.
So, if you decide to plant this shrub in your area, then know that they cut it in the summer, in July, but the seedling can be planted both in spring and autumn.

To achieve the growth of new shoots, it is rejuvenated by cutting the trunks of plants at a height of 10-20 cm from the soil surface. Shrubs of many other species do not tolerate rejuvenation.
It is preferable to plant the bushes one by one, so that after flowering they do not an eyesore. You can grow mock orange mixed with other shrubs as a green hedge both along the boundaries of the site and inside to separate different zones(rest, playground, barbecue).

At the same time, pruning of frozen shoots and rapidly aging tops is carried out.
The so-called sanitary pruning can be carried out throughout the growing season. Old shoots are recommended to be cut every 2-3 years.
The crown rejuvenated in this way contributes to regular flowering in subsequent years.
Forming pruning is carried out only on young plants for the first 2-3 years after planting in a permanent place.
And how to cut garden jasmine for thinning shrubs? In this case, all weak root shoots are removed to the base of the soil, leaving only the strongest and strongest 2-4 shoots, which will be used to renew the bush.
