How to trim Jasmine - The Plant Aide

Jasmine flowers need to be pruned twice a year, once around Qingming and once in September. The dead and dense branches need to be cut to reduce the waste of water and nutrients and increase the air permeability and light inside. At the same time of pruning, we also need to turn over the basin, take out the plant from the basin, prune some old roots, soak them with Carbendazim and replant them. After flowering, cut off the branches with flowers to promote the growth of new branches. Do not throw away the cut branches. Cutting into the soil can also form new flowers.
