But not all new branches can blossom, and only those robust new branches have the ability to breed buds. Some new branches that are too weak have not been capped for a long time, consuming nutrients in vain. Therefore, we should not only find ways to make jasmine grow more new branches, but also need more new and strong branches.
How to make jasmine grow new branches? It has a lot to do with spring pruning All plants have top advantages, and so does jasmine. When new buds germinate in spring, it will give priority to supplying water and nutrients to the top of branches. If not pruned, the top bud will sprout first. The bud point at the bottom of the branch may not germinate or grow slowly because of insufficient supply of nutrients and water, and eventually grow into useless twigs.
Although the terminal buds have the ability to preferentially supply nutrients and water, they may not grow into strong branches that can bloom, because the basic branches are thin and weak, and their growth ability is limited. However, if the upper branches are cut off before the new buds germinate to eliminate the top advantage, nutrients and water will be given priority to the bottom buds. When the base branch where the bottom bud point is located is strong and the nutrient supply is sufficient, more new branches and strong branches will germinate and the later flowering amount will be large.
