1. Soil: the growth of jasmine is inseparable from the rich organic matter in the soil. Good drainage and air permeability can also help root respiration. The garden soil can be mixed with compost and river sand in the proportion of 2:2:1, and a little animal manure or rotten cake fertilizer can be added.

2. Light: jasmine flowers are suitable for growing in a good light environment, with a daily light duration of no less than 8 hours. Lack of light is easy to lead to its overgrowth and delay its flowering time. Indoor culture must be placed in a place where light can be seen for a long time.

3. Water content: Jasmine Flowers prefer to be wet. Watering can't wait until it's dry, which is not good for its growth. Generally, the soil on the surface is dry, but the moisture in it can be watered

4. Fertilization: jasmine flower needs a lot of fertilizer in growth period and flowering period. In the peak growing season, organic fertilizer should be applied twice a month to supplement nutrients comprehensively. Fertilization in the flowering period is mainly based on P and K fertilizer, which can be sprayed on the leaf surface with the water mixed with the potassium dihydrogen phosphate.

2. Reproductive skills

1. Cutting: most cutting methods are carried out from April to October. Cut 1-year-old mature branches, keep two nodes above, and remove the lower leaves. Insert it in the sand bed, cover it with a bag after spraying water, it can keep warm and moisturize. Generally in 40-60 days can take root.

2. Layering: select the longer branches, cut them at the lower part of the node, and bury them in the soil. One month can take root, two months can be separated from the original plant.
