How to grow Osmanthus fragrans well

First, basin soil

Osmanthus fragrans like fertile, well-drained slightly acidic soil, which can be mixed with humus or peat, garden soil, sand or river sand.

Second, watering

Sweet-scented osmanthus should be watered less before the new shoots grow, as long as the soil is slightly moist. Too much watering will not only affect the growth of new roots, but also rot roots. Watering should be reduced in the rainy season and increased in the hot summer season. Water is watered once every morning and evening. When the sun is strong, you can spray some water mist appropriately. There is no stagnant water in the basin.

III. Fertilization

It is necessary to apply fertilizer frequently and less during the growing period, and thin cake fertilizer can be applied every half a month after germination, which can help new branches grow better; in May, in order to make the branches more mature, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be applied once every 10 days. Watering and loosening the soil after each fertilization can make it grow better.

Fourth, lighting

Cultured sweet-scented osmanthus must have plenty of sunshine, it is a long-sunshine plant, so it is better to make it fully exposed to sunlight to promote photosynthetic growth. If there is not enough light, its branches will be very thin and flower buds will be difficult to form.

5. Temperature

The suitable temperature for the growth of sweet-scented osmanthus is 15-28 ℃, and the lowest temperature can accept-13 ℃. Seedlings can not grow in a high temperature environment, shade maintenance measures should be taken, otherwise it is easy to cause it to wither.
