There is a saying that if you plant laurel in front of your door, you will be a dignitary in front of others. The good moral makes many friends like to cultivate it, or plant it in front of the door or indoor potted plants. When it comes to the flowering season, the house will be fragrant.

The peak growing season of sweet-scented osmanthus is from spring to summer, that is, from March to June, after summer, when the temperature is cool, usually from August to October, we all know that sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant in August, and the flowering period of sweet-scented osmanthus is this period.

How to make sweet-scented osmanthus blossom more?

Today, I'd like to share with you some maintenance skills.

So that the rest of the time is full of cinnamon.

In order to make sweet-scented osmanthus blossom more and more, it is necessary to grasp the four main links: selecting pot soil, watering at the right time, applying fertilizer skillfully and pruning properly.

01

Osmanthus fragrans like slightly acidic soil.

Pot culture can choose 5 parts of mountain mud, 3 parts of humus soil, 2 parts of sand soil or half of rotten leaf soil and sandy loam soil as culture soil. If the soil is too acidic, the growth is slow and the leaves are withered and yellow. In alkaline soil, it can lead to leaf withering and even death after about 2-3 months.

02

Watering should be timely.

Sweet-scented osmanthus watering should master "two less and one more", that is, less watering before the occurrence of new shoots, less watering on cloudy and rainy days, and more watering in dry weather in summer and autumn. It is advisable to keep the water content of the basin soil about 50% at ordinary times. Drainage should be carried out in time on cloudy and rainy days to prevent stagnant water in the basin from rotting roots, otherwise it is easy to "drown".

03

Skillfully applying topdressing

Sweet-scented osmanthus likes pig dung, and the flower proverb says, "to get sweet-scented osmanthus, prepare more pig dung tanks." If the sweet-scented osmanthus can be applied after coming out of the room in early spring, the rotten and thin pig manure will be applied once every 10 to 15 days from April to May and once every 10 days from June to July, and the last time in early August, the sweet-scented osmanthus will grow luxuriantly, bloom more and taste fragrant. There is no pig manure in the city, so rotten cake liquid can be used. If there is not enough fertilizer, there will be fewer branches, fewer flowers, and no fragrance.

03

Proper pruning

Osmanthus fragrans have developed roots and strong germination. Adult sweet-scented osmanthus trees shoot twice a year. Therefore, in order to make sweet-scented osmanthus blossom flourish, it is necessary to prune properly to maintain the physiological balance between reproductive growth and vegetative growth. In general, long branches, weak branches, disease and insect branches should be cut off to facilitate ventilation and light, nutrient concentration, to promote sweet-scented osmanthus to give birth to more and fuller flower buds, then bloom luxuriantly.

I used to read Zhang ailing's "sweet-scented osmanthus steamed A Little sad Autumn", which wrote:

Autumn is a song, but the night of sweet-scented osmanthus steaming is like the Xiao tune in the kitchen and the day is like a song sung by children, hot, ripe, clear and wet.

At that time, I thought that the reason why the world loves autumn must be because of sweet-scented osmanthus.
