Looking for a climbing plant that has a good aroma to cover that fence that you like so little? How about the idea of planting a jasmine? Its white flowers are, in addition to being precious, very fragrant. A scent that you will not be able to stop feeling every time you pass near the climber.
But to have it in good condition, you have to know how to care for a jasmine plant. Go for it.
Jasmine is a very grateful climbing plant, which as you will see, does not require much maintenance nor previous knowledge in the care of plants. In fact, the only thing to keep in mind is that you must protect it from frostsince it does not resist much the cold. You can take the opportunity to dress your living room with this beautiful plant .
If you live in a mild climate, you can have it without problems outside throughout the yeargrowing on trees that for one reason or another are dry, or also by those alive … as long as they are fully adult. If they are young, and I am speaking from the experience of having a jasmine growing on an almond tree, it is not advisable. Jasmine, although not an invasive plant, does grow fast, and its stems are held tight -without strangling the branch of the tree-. So it is preferable to have it in trees of a certain age, whose branches are thick and can withstand the force of jasmine without difficulty. Still, you should know that it can be pruned whenever you consider necessary.
Our protagonist not demanding in terms of soil typesbeing able to live in those that are clayey. If you are going to have it in a pot, instead, you should choose to use a porous substrate, so that the roots do not get flooded after each watering, which should be frequent in summer -between 2 and 3 times a week-, and occasional the rest of the year -between 1 and 2 times a week-. Although the ideal is that receive sunlight directly from the sunwe can have it in semi-shady places.
Fertilize your jasmine throughout the growing season with a specific fertilizer for green plants, or with natural fertilizers such as guano or worm humus, and you will get a pest-resistant climber and, most importantly: perfectly cared for.
