What kind of soil is best for jasmine to grow in and what is the pH value?

The encyclopedia of home flower cultivation has the answer for you! Jasmine is a very typical acid-loving flower, so it is very suitable for growing in slightly acidic soil, and can only grow well in slightly acidic soil. Therefore, when we prepare the soil for jasmine to be potted, the pH value must also be considered as a factor! Next, Xiaoye will talk about what requirements jasmine has for the soil!

1. Jasmine likes warm and humid environment, and is suitable for growing in a well-ventilated and sunny environment. Jasmine is not resistant to frost, waterlogging and salinization.

2. Jasmine likes loose, breathable, well-drained, fertile, and slightly acidic soil.

3. In terms of soil preparation and configuration, Xiaoye recommends that you use a 4:4:2 ratio of garden soil, compost soil and river sand! Compost soil can provide certain nutrients, and river sand can facilitate drainage and reduce the possibility of waterlogging and root rot. Jasmine is not very demanding on soil, so we don't have to strictly follow this standard when configuring the soil!

4. After preparing the soil, you can mix in some base fertilizer, which is more conducive to the growth and development of jasmine! Xiaoye recommends using microbial agents, because microbial agents will not only not cause root burn and rot, but also meet the needs of jasmine growth and development, and can also improve the soil, reduce the occurrence of diseases and pests, and are very convenient to use!

5. In addition, jasmine has requirements for soil acidity and alkalinity. The pH value should be between 6.0 and 6.5. If we do not pay attention to the pH problem when preparing the soil, we can add one or two drops of citric acid or ferrous sulfate solution in daily watering, or apply some humic acid fertilizer, which can all help improve the soil pH!

6. Finally, Xiaoye suggests that you must always observe the soil compaction phenomenon! Especially for those who care for jasmine in the north, the water we usually use is slightly alkaline, and long-term watering will easily cause the soil to compact!
