Sweet-scented osmanthus, open a branch can be fragrant ten miles, is really a very good home to watch potted plants. Raise a pot, open one, and you can enjoy its rich aroma. It is said that sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance only in August, in fact, master four tips, every month can smell sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance.

The first key: sour soil cultivation

Sweet-scented osmanthus likes to grow in slightly acidic soil rich in humus, and the soil PH value is 5.5-6. Planting in alkaline and over-clayey soil should not be avoided. 4 parts of humus soil, 3 parts of sandy soil and 3 parts of mature barnyard manure can be used in the culture soil, and a small amount of bone powder can be added. In order to overcome the alkalinity of soil and water quality, combined irrigation during the growing period, some organic nutrient solution was added to the water every 10 days or so to make the branches and leaves thick green and beneficial to the growth of sweet-scented osmanthus.

2. Sufficient light

Sweet-scented osmanthus sex like the sun, during the growing season to place sufficient leeward light maintenance, basin bottom application of empty basin or masonry pad high, do not put directly on the mud ground. The period from June to August is the period of flower bud differentiation and formation of sweet-scented osmanthus. If 10 hours of sufficient light and 35-38 ℃ of high temperature are given every day, the bud pregnancy can be promoted and the flowering rate can be increased.

Maintain sweet-scented osmanthus to avoid summer shade, reduce the temperature and affect flower bud differentiation. Move into an indoor sunny room without freezing after winter, the room temperature should not be too high, otherwise it is easy to cause shoots in advance, when moving outdoors in spring, it is easy to be vulnerable to cold wind blowing on tender shoots.

3. Take good care of fertilizer and water

Osmanthus fragrans like fertilizer, in addition to applying sufficient base fertilizer on the pot, the fermented dilute liquid fertilizer was applied once at the beginning of March when the bud sprouted, and the mature organic nutrient solution was applied every 10-15 days at the end of April-May, and the ratio of fertilizer to water was 1Suzhou 500. From June to August, topdressing phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied mainly to promote flower bud differentiation and formation. During the flowering period, the amount of fertilizer was reduced, and the organic nutrient solution was applied once a month, and the liquid fertilizer dominated by nitrogen was applied in time after flowering.

The amount of water and times of watering sweet-scented osmanthus should be determined according to the weather and plant growth. Generally, it should be watered every 2-3 days in spring. The high temperature in summer, the large evaporation of soil surface, and the flower bud differentiation stage of sweet-scented osmanthus development, the water demand is relatively large, so it should be watered once a day. Do not pour water during the flowering period to prevent falling flowers.

4. Shaping and pruning

For sweet-scented osmanthus plants with dense branches, thinning should be carried out to improve ventilation and light transmission on the one hand, and concentrate nutrients on the other hand, so as to promote the growth and fullness of branches and various flowering.
