Can I also cultivate winter jasmine in the tub?
The easy-care winter jasmine is quite robust and versatile. With a suitable climbing aid the winter jasmine becomes up to 5 m big. So you can not only green house walls or loosen hedges with this plant but also planting tubs.
In the bucket, the winter jasmine usually grows to a height of about 1.5 - 2 m when he gets a climbing aid. Without this support it usually stays with a size of approx. 1 m. Choose a sufficiently large bucket, which ensures good stability. In addition, your winter jasmine will also get enough nutrients.
Divide your winter jasmine in the bucket regularly, so that it stays in good shape and forms new shoots, because it blooms on annual wood. Winter jasmine is very good cut compatible. Should you have cut off too much, then the plant recovers relatively quickly.
Choosing the right location
As in the open air, the winter jasmine in the tub needs a sunny or partially shaded location, which is also sheltered from the wind. The delicate yellow flowers with snow cap are a very nice sight, especially if you are sitting in the warmth yourself. If you can, place the bucket on the terrace or within sight of a window.
The wintering of potted plants
With any kind of potted plants, there is a risk that the roots will freeze in winter. This danger increases when the planter is relatively small. If you live in a rough area, then wrap the planter in the fall with an old sack or a blanket, so the danger of freezing is banned.
Buds of winter jasmine tolerate frost even to - 15 ° C. The flowers sometimes freeze because they are a bit more sensitive. But winter jasmine grows so much that it only causes a short flowering break, not a break in flowering that lasts until March or April.
