Pruning indoor jasmine plants
Indoor jasmine can be pruned easily and painlessly, so you can cut it boldly, without fear for the health of the flower. This should be done in the spring, before growth begins (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 side 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 especially to cut, and adult plants throughout the entire growth period are also very useful to selectively pinch. 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. The seeds have low germination and require special care, depending on their variety. In most cases, you can germinate seeds at home in pots with a special seed germination mixture, and then plant the seedlings outdoors after the spring frost.
Usually, indoor jasmine propagation is done in two ways: by cuttings and air layers.
Reproduction by air layers. Fill a small pot with soil, which is being prepared, as for a transplant, and place it near the mother plant. Make a small cut in the lower stem of an adult plant and press the cut to the ground in a small pot with a hairpin. Water the cuttings regularly. When young shoots appear in the small pot, cut the cut from the mother plant.
Propagation by cuttings. Cut off cuttings from an adult plant, 12-15 cm long, having 4-6 leaves. Put them in water or 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, which is prepared in the same way as for transplanting.
Indoor jasmine pests and control

To combat this pest of indoor jasmine, drugs are successfully used: Actellik, Intavir, Agravertin.
Very annoying for the plant. She enmeshes the tops of the bush with a thick white cobweb, the places where new leaves are formed. As a result, the growth rate is significantly slowed down.

Chubushnik is called garden jasmine for the pronounced aroma of its flowers. The Latin name for this plant (Philadelphus) comes from the words "love" and "brother", since the opposite shoots of the bush are so close that they seem to be entwined together. The bark on young shoots of the garden mock-orange is thin, easily flaking, which makes it easier to prune the bushes.
Description of the chubushnik at the time of flowering: the height of the bush, photos of leaves and flowers
Chubushnik plant or garden jasmine (Philadelphus) belongs to the Hortense family, his homeland is Europe, Eastern and Southeast Asia, North America... Occurs over 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 chubushnik. Real jasmines are subtropical evergreen climbing and creeping plants from the Olive family. Real jasmines and mock-orange 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 flower odor at all (large-flowered, Shrenk, Gordon).
Garden jasmine is amazing ornamental shrubwhich for some reason in last years rarely seen on garden plots (The only exceptions are those who are more than a quarter of a century old). But you can use it like hedge, which separates two adjacent areas, and just as decoration for any corner of the garden.
In recent years, more attention has been paid to this culture, and as a result, we have varieties not only with white, but even with creamy flowers, which have a very strong aroma, which in June-July attracts the attention of any plant passing by.
This is a sprawling, multi-stemmed deciduous upright shrub. The height of the chubushnik is from 0.8 to 3.5 - 4 m, the bushes have a spherical crown.
The leaves of the chubushnik are opposite, ovate-lanceolate or oval-pointed. Naked shoots are used to make shanks ( smoking pipes), hence its name. In the spring, yellow leaves shrubs begin to turn green, and by autumn the bush loses them.
Chubushnik flowers are white or cream-colored, up to 5 cm in diameter, collected in racemose or paniculate inflorescences, strongly or weak-minded, often double. Blooms in summer, from late June to July; some species and varieties bloom up to 7 weeks.
As you can see in the photo, the fruit of the chubushnik shrub is a box with small seeds:
Chubushnik is appreciated for its beauty and delicate aroma of flowers.
The garden jasmine plant prefers open sunny places and, although they can endure partial shade, they stop blooming with strong shading. They are very demanding on soil moisture and fertility, therefore, during the cultivation process, they should be regularly fed with organic and mineral fertilizers... Cannot stand close stagnation groundwater... They respond well to pruning and easily propagate by root suckers, layering, green and lignified cuttings, bush division and unstratified seeds that can be sown in autumn, snow and spring.
Chubushnik 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 acquire species and varieties of foreign origin indiscriminately in a row: some of them can withstand frosts down to -25 ° С, while others can withstand only -15 ° С. In especially harsh 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, the frostbitten bush quickly grows back after cutting off damaged shoots. Harder to recover less winter-hardy varieties and species in which it can freeze and root system.
The duration of flowering of a mock orange depends on its variety. Sometimes it blooms for two months! The flowers of the chubushnik are quite large: in modern varieties, they can reach 6 cm in diameter. Of particular value is the flowering period of the chubushnik - June-July, when most of the horticultural crops have already bloomed.
But before and after flowering, it does not create any beauty on the site, for the bush is ugly, ankle, erect with branches sticking out absurdly in all directions. Therefore, you should not put it in the foreground.
Transplants are tolerated 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, it will very quickly take on the appearance of a homeless vagabond.
Mock breeding methods
There are 3 main ways of breeding chubushnik (garden jasmine). The first is by dividing the bush, but in this case you must have the bush itself. And if it is not? You can try to buy it or ask your neighbor. The difficulty lies in the fact that chubushnik saplings are not sold everywhere, and even the neighbors may not have it.
It's easier to use layering, but again, you need to have a bush for this.
The easiest way is to propagate with green cuttings. Find in summer green stalk jasmine is much simpler than the seedling itself.
You can propagate chubushnik and jasmine seeds, which are sown in a school for growing immediately after collecting the seeds (purchased before sowing, stratified in wet sand in the refrigerator for 3-4 months). They will grow in a year, but they will not bloom soon, in 4–5 years that way. Terry forms cannot be propagated like this (non-double 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 chubushnik are cut in early summer. Divide the bush in August.
So, if you decide to plant this shrub on your site, then know that it is cut in summer, in July, but the seedling can be planted both in spring and autumn.
Planting and caring for a chubushnik (with video)
Having dug holes in advance with a diameter of 50 cm and the same depth, add 1 bucket of compost to them, place the seedling and, after filling it with the top layer of the excavated soil, water it again.
After planting, when caring for garden jasmine, the shrubs are fed 3 times. The first time is in early spring, when the first leaves begin to bloom. The second time is before flowering. The third time is in the fall, in order for the plant to winter better.
For feeding, make a solution of 10 liters of water, 1 tablespoon of superphosphate and 1 tablespoon potassium sulfate... For each plant, 15 liters of solution are consumed.
Many gardeners use AVA granular fertilizer for planting and fertilizing at the rate of 10-15 g per 1 m2. When this fertilizer is applied, the plant develops quickly, copes better with diseases and pests, and tolerates severe cold winters well.
When planting and caring for the chubushnik, it should be remembered that the garden jasmine hedge after 3-4 years is exposed from below and loses its decorative effect. To achieve the growth of new shoots, it is rejuvenated by cutting off the trunks of plants at a height of 10-20 cm from the soil surface. Shrubs of many other breeds do not tolerate rejuvenation.
It is preferable to plant the bushes one at a time, so that after flowering they do not call the eyes. You can grow mock-orange mixed with other shrubs as a green fence, both along the borders of the site, and inside for separation different zones (recreation, playground, barbecue).

So-called sanitary pruning can be carried out throughout the growing season. It is recommended to cut out old shoots every 2 to 3 years.
The crown rejuvenated in this way promotes 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.
