🍃jasmine Frozen Ice Cubes | Cool for A Summer. Full of Fragrance in The Mouth🍃
1.
Jasmine flowers began to bloom one after another in the evening. At about 8 o'clock in the evening, the petals are in a fully extended state, and the fragrance is the strongest, which is the best time to pick.
This is a jasmine flower from the north. It has a single petal and a long receptacle, and its fragrance is relatively strong.
2.
I picked so many fragrant jasmine flowers last night.
3.
Rinse the jasmine with water and put it in the ice box.
4.
Then put the mint leaves in. (You have to choose mint leaves with a lighter scent. If the scent is too strong, it will suppress the fragrance of jasmine. You can leave it alone if you don’t like it! I want to consume the crazy-growing mint leaves at home~)
5.
Pour cold water. Some mint leaves will float to the surface. Restore them to their original positions (there is no way for the disobedient)
6.
Close the lid gently. Some water will flow out from the small holes above.
Put it in the freezer and freeze overnight.
7.
Jasmine ice cubes that have been frozen all night.
8.
Each is crystal clear, fragrant and beautiful.
9.
It can be made into jasmine ice black tea or jasmine oolong tea. It can also be put into various refreshing drinks and milk.
Take a sip, full of fragrance.
10.
This is a sprite ice drink mixed with Japanese blue shaved ice juice. You can also add a small amount of butterfly pea flowers or food coloring.
It makes people feel refreshing. Healing 🍃
11.
This is the jasmine left over from ice making last night. Put a small amount of cold water in the bottom of the plate, insert the jasmine flower stems, and put them in the bedroom. The house is full of light fragrance, it is a natural fragrance. Even the body temperature seems to have dropped by 2 degrees🍃
This morning's jasmine is still so white and flawless, fragrant and beautiful!
12.
It can also be made using an ice box without a lid.
The white peach refreshing drink is used here, with blueberries and mint leaves added. You can adjust the ingredients according to your needs to make the unique jasmine ice cubes in the world.

Some friends say that the jasmine they raise cannot bloom several times in a summer, and they bloom very few each time. Today I will help you analyze the reasons for the lack of flowering.
This picture shows a few pots of jasmine flowers raised by a friend. The picture sent to me the other day. It seems that the branches and leaves are lush and it seems to be growing well. But just because the branches and leaves are too lush, so the nutrients are completely taken away by the branches and leaves. Moreover, the branches and leaves are too lush, blocking part of the sunlight, which is the reason why the jasmine blooms less. And if you want to make jasmine bloom, you need to give it phosphate fertilizer.
When I gave her rice dumplings last week, I cut off all the long branches and leaves. (I forgot to take the trimmed photo! I'll add it after I take it!)
14.
This is the jasmine that my family has raised for more than 10 years. Although the leaves 🍃 didn't have the dense green leaves of the jasmine flower from my friend's house, and there were burnt leaves, they still burst into full pots. The reason is that I cut the branches and leaves as short as possible. This naturally reduces the absorption of a large amount of nutrients by the branches and leaves. In addition, the sun can shine on all branches and leaves, which greatly shortens the time for jasmine to set buds and bloom (from the buds to the full pots, it only takes about 7-10 days, a summer can open a lot of stubble.) And remember Give it phosphate fertilizer! )
The branches that have bloomed must be cut off in time (the method is to leave only the bottom pair of leaves of the new branch, and the new branch will soon emerge from between the leaves. As long as the sun is sufficient and the temperature is high enough, the new branch will be produced in a week. The branches will bloom again. Then you must insist on cutting the flowers in time after they bloom! Repeat this action over and over again!!!)
Hope your jasmine will burst this year!
Briefly summarize a few words
a Jasmine likes sunshine and warmth.
b Only continuous pruning can shorten the cycle of bud setting and flowering.
c If you want to make jasmine bloom, you have to give it phosphate fertilizer.
Doing these three points, it’s hard not to let it burst out🤗
15.
The cut branches can also be inserted into moist soil for cuttings. Try to minimize the number of leaves. If the leaves are large, cut them in half. Because the branches just cut have no root system, they can hardly absorb water. Reducing the number of leaves and cutting off half of the leaves are to prevent excessive water loss and ensure the water in the jasmine body. You can also frequently spray some water on the leaves with a sprayer or cover it with a plastic bag and place it in a dark and cool place (don’t forget to water the soil during this period! Keep the soil moist) for about 15-20 days, jasmine The root system will grow out. Of course the survival rate will not be 100%! Half alive is good! If you want a high survival rate, you have to use the power of rooting agents!
16.
This is step 15. The 3 seedlings pressed in spring (December 17) have grown so big.
17.
On December 17, Tokyo began to cool down, and the temperature at night was only 1-2 degrees. During the day, there was plenty of sunshine on the veranda, and Jasmine kept sending out new branches. But such branches have no buds and will not bloom. It can only consume too much nutrients, which will have an impact on next year's flowering. So they should be cut off in time. Today they are pruned for the last time before winter.
18.
Like this, the new branches can be cut directly from below.
19.
Or just leave the bottom two leaves🍃, and cut off the new branches above.
20.
Such slender branches have to be cut in half before they will grow stronger next year.
21.
These branches are very slender, cut them off by about half.
22.
Observe as a whole, try to make each branch extend outward (or parallel). Cut off branches that cross each other.
23.
Such branches are also lengthy, and they cross other branches and are pruned decisively.
24.
The one on the left is before trimming, and the one on the right is after trimming. The messy branches have been pruned away. Enhanced ventilation, each leaf can be exposed to sunlight.
25.
In this way, you can safely let them spend the winter. If possible, change the soil every 1-2 years (April to May each year), so that the jasmine will grow stronger and the flowers will bloom.
The temperature in winter in Tokyo is generally above freezing, and most of the flowers and plants are also placed on the terrace for the winter. Even in the coldest days, put them in a plastic bag at night without worrying that they will freeze to death.
The jasmine from Youyou's family in southern China can also spend the winter in this way. Friends with heating in the north can properly trim the jasmine, add a proper amount of scale fertilizer, and place the jasmine in a sunny room to prepare for the winter flowering period of the jasmine (at the same time let them get proper ventilation to prevent pests and diseases) .

The small tomatoes planted this spring are too hot in summer and do not bear fruit. Although it is already late December, it is the peak season for them to bear fruit 😂
27.
Moved by their exuberant vitality😂
28.
There are also the amaranth and cosmos that have been open to this day. . .
29.
Recently, Marguerite has been in full bloom. . .
30.
The asparagus bamboo, which has been raised for more than 20 years, has not changed soil for 3 years. It's really deep-rooted, and there is not even a bit of soil 😂 Cut with scissors, cut with a knife, leaving only 2/5 of the roots. Because the root was injured, and the temperature at night is still very low, it is necessary to cover it with a white plastic bag (a clean garbage bag) for about two weeks.
31.
Zi Xuanyue, who was overwintering indoors, also turned from purple to green.
This winter, the growth has not stopped, and a lot of buds have been sent out🌱
32.
Here is a close-up!
The grains are full and crystal clear!
I really don't want to touch it with my fingers 💓
33.
Two small pots of ivy with different leaves (the color of the leaves are also different), coupled with this bamboo basket that has been "standby", swaying in the spring breeze, fresh and beautiful, has become my "new favorite" 💓
34.
On February 20th, although it was still in early spring, these flowers were already in full bloom, and the entire balcony was full of spring 🌸 (at this time, the night temperature in Tokyo is only a few degrees, but the flowers and plants can spend the winter outside)
35.
The combination of baby blue eyes, lavender and white pink forget-me-not is so healing💕
36.
The name of this cute little blue flower is forget-me-not (or forget-me-not), what a romantic name.
This herb will constantly emit many new leaves from its roots. Every two new leaves will enclose flower buds. If the flower buds and leaves are too dense, the plant will not be ventilated and will easily cause pests and diseases.
37.
Use tweezers to gently pluck the flowers to make pressed flowers.
My sister made two beautiful and unique hairpins with pressed flowers of forget-me-not and acacia.
38.
Geranium is a very common flower, it is good for sunshine and drought, it is very easy to maintain, and there are few diseases and insects. This year, the pots have exploded, and a pair of flower buds will be sent out on each branch. The leaves are barely visible, only flowers. (Excessive leaves will consume a large amount of energy of the plant itself and reduce the number of flowering. So it is necessary to apply some phosphate fertilizer to it to promote the formation of flower buds. Give it more sun, and water it again after the surface of the potting soil is dry. through)
Geranium cuttings have a high success rate. Old piles with too many years will also reduce the number of blooms. This cutting was made last year, and it has already burst into bloom, and there are many flower buds in it. It is worth having a pot of flowers that bloom throughout the year.
39.
The long-grass sea carnation also blooms many charming spherical flowers. The growth of Eucalyptus and the Vine of Love is also very good. (The old branches of the Vine of Love will be pruned and cut again in a few days)
40.
This is a blue hydrangea, which has bloomed once last year. Under the caress of the spring breeze, a lot of branches and leaves have grown, waiting for it to bloom all over the branches 🌸 (it seems that some extra branches should be properly pruned to ensure the quality of flowering. The pruned branches can be used for cuttings)
41.
This is the hydrangea that bloomed last year. Put them in a sealed container with desiccant to make dried flowers.
My sister used them to make a hemispherical decorative leather case. The three-dimensional sense is very strong, of course it is also unique~
42.
In the spring when a hundred flowers blossomed, a lot of pressed flowers were made.
Putting them in a photo frame is really healing. The cherry blossom photo frame in the lower left corner was given to colleagues as wedding souvenirs. She sandwiched their wedding photos, it’s really beautiful~
43.
Making them into seasonal works and hanging them on the wall will make you feel good~
44.
This is a floating flower made two years ago. The floating flower oil contains dried flowers of imperial shellfish, globe amaranth and hydrangea. Today it still maintains bright colors.
The floating flowers sitting on the colored lamp holders are reflected in different colors by the light. (The largest one is the original color picture)
45.
Send another small video. If you turn off the light, it will feel more dreamy~
46.
The purple Xuanyue that has been hanging outside began to bloom beautiful yellow flowers~
47.
The sun is shining and full of life🌸
The herbs such as thyme, mint, and passionate hidden behind the flowers are growing very gratifying this year~
48.
Hanging the meat under the outside of the air conditioner, you can get in the sun all day long, and you can't get it rained, and it saves space~
Most flower shops in Japan sell this kind of meat cubs, and rarely sell old ones.
The state of the vines of love is not very good, and they should be replaced with potting soil and branches~
49.
This is the fleshy people in the rooting process. In a few days, roots will grow underneath~
50.
Today they were combined with meat and meat. The original monotonous single fleshy flesh suddenly looks much higher~
For the meat that has just been combined, don't rush to water it (if it is meat that has just been watered before, it is more likely to rot) I will put them in a place without sunlight for 3 days. That is to say, put the pots in dry soil and water them after 3 days. If you are worried that the root system such as Buddhist beads will dry out, spray a small amount of water on the local area with a sprayer. After 3 days, pour the whole pot thoroughly.
The spring and autumn seasons are the growing period of most meat. So don't overfill all kinds of meat, leave room for them to grow. At the same time, it can ensure good ventilation and an environment that receives sunlight. Reduce pests and diseases, enhance immunity, and help them survive the harsh summer and winter~

This metal decorative flowerpot is 30 cm long, 12 cm wide and 10 cm high. A lot of small holes were poked at the bottom of the flowerpot, and the bottom was padded with about 4 cm thick pumice, which planted all the single-product meats in. Finally, I put in the only pair of black and white cats I bought back at Daiso a few days ago and made a "cat botanical garden"
The "Cat Botanical Garden" is too long, so I had to divide it into three parts~
52.
I recently bought a wooden flowerpot, put in the red fire festival and some single-product meat, and made a home for the cute little squirrel🏠
53.
This shell, which was found on the beach many years ago, has also become a warm home for the fleshy cubs. There are a total of 12 kinds of fleshy cubs planted here. I hope they can grow up quickly~
54.
Jasper lotus (Japanese call it Biyulian, it is said that the leaf shape is like a string of fish mouths, and it is also a rare species in Japan)
I look at it like a careful heart 💗
Let's raise this pot alone~
55.
These small and exquisite foliage plants have always been my favorite. In order to prevent them from growing up, plant them in small pots.
Accidentally that day, some of the leaves still turned into a delicious salad among the cat population 😂 just hang them in the air. The cats are still eyeing ~😸
Put the cut flowers in the water for a few days, hang them upside down before they die, and place them in a dark and ventilated place. After a week, they will become beautiful dried flowers. Can be decorated for a long time~
56.
There are many kinds of beautiful cherry blossoms, and the order of flowering is also very special. There are beautiful cherry blossoms in four colors in this pot. It is also the highest pressed flower material~
57.
The beautiful cherry blossoms pressed for two days, the crimson flowers are really as beautiful as the cherry blossoms, and the beautiful cherry blossoms with two-color petals have a different kind of beauty.
58.
My sister made a decorative leather case with beautiful cherry blossoms and acacia pressed flowers, but this time it was given to a colleague. I have to say, her character who likes to share with others is more and more like me~
59.
When my sister becomes a teacher, there will be a graduation ceremony and an entrance ceremony every year. The corsage is essential to her. The ones bought online are either too expensive or look down upon. So I bought back buttercup roses and hydrangea flowers and made an elegant corsage for her.
60.
Let me introduce two rare flowers in China. The above is the アボニアアナータ flower native to Australia. No Chinese name is found on Baidu, maybe it hasn't been introduced yet! The flowers and leaves are needle-shaped and very small. In spring, the branches are full of round flower buds, and the flowers that bloom are pink with four-pointed stars. The pressed flower made is also very beautiful.
Below is the pink silk flower (gypsophila), I like the way it dances in the spring breeze, and I also like to make it into pressed flowers~
61.
This is a buttercup rose that is even more beautiful than ordinary roses🌹. It opens from early spring until the end of April and the beginning of May. After the flowering period, the leaves begin to turn yellow and wither. In summer, they will be dormant. Stop watering at this time. There will be many roots like garlic cloves in the pot soil. By the time of September and October, the weather began to cool, and watering was resumed, and they would soon sprout new shoots. In February and March of the next year, beautiful flowers will bloom again🌸
Cut the buttercup roses and put them in the water, it's so beautiful!
62.
The balcony during the day is even more pleasant, even cats will stay in this small garden for a long time~
63.
A blue hydrangea plant brought back from the unit last year, after a year of maintenance, bloomed beautiful flowers last year. I gave it a flower pot before this year. Although the branches are lush and leafy, it has entered May, but there is not even a bud. It is estimated that it will not bloom this year.
In order to soothe the wounded soul, a pot of water pink hydrangea was poured into it. It is also to observe and study the entire plant structure of hydrangea cultivated by flower farmers, and to learn some maintenance methods of hydrangea on the Internet. Knowing that the blooming branches of hydrangea must be the old branches of the previous year. After the hydrangea has bloomed, the branches with flower heads cannot be cut off from the roots, and more than half of the branches must be left (Figure 4). In this way, flower buds will grow from the remaining flower stems in the spring of the coming year (of course, it also needs daily maintenance such as fertilization and sunshine~) Let’s look at the plant I planted. The length of each branch is less than 10 cm. . In other words, they are all newly grown branches this year~
Try hard to make it grow strong branches this year, and hope that next year it will bloom all over the branches🌸
64.
All the five flower seeds sown on April 22 have germinated. Autumn cherry blossoms sprout the fastest, and small buds emerge after 3 days of sowing. Lavender has the slowest germination speed, it takes about 10 or so, and the germination rate is also extremely low~ (Is it related to the seed origin and variety?)
The seedlings of Yingluohua and Autumn Sakura seem to be waiting impatiently for the pot~
65.
This was sown on March 15th and it bears a lot of cherry radishes. Crisp, watery, nutritious and healthy~
66.
The book is back to the main story, it has entered May. The recovery of everything is also the best time for them to change their pots and soil. My jasmine has always been raised in the winter, and it has grown many new shoots. These new shoots will not bloom yet and will only consume the nutrients of the plant. They can be cut to ensure the nutrients of the plant itself. They need to be fertilized gradually. Hope your jasmine will be full of flowers in July🌸
Tips:
I originally planned to only write about the method of making jasmine ice cubes, but I didn't expect this recipe to be written intermittently for nearly a year. It mainly introduces various flowers and plants that are maintained in daily life. Although they are not expensive flowers and plants, after careful maintenance, they will bloom beautiful flowers. When they bloom, we must know how to enjoy their beauty to the fullest, how to preserve their beauty for a longer time, and how to let more people share their beauty with you.
If you make jasmine into ice cubes, you will feel its beauty through vision and smell its fragrance, and the act of making them into ice cubes is to retain their beauty and fragrance for a long time~
The blooming flowers can be made into pressed flowers or dried flowers to retain their beauty for a long time. Then make pressed flowers into a pattern and set it in a photo frame, which will make people feel very healing. These pressed flowers can also be processed into hair accessories or mobile phone shells and bookmarks 🔖. Then give these works to friends and colleagues, let them share this happiness with you💕🌸🍃
That’s right, you can live the same life without green plants, but life with green plants will definitely become more exciting🍀🌺💐
