Therefore, during the growing season, it is necessary to spray water on the leaves every day to increase air humidity; watering should be "dry and wet, not dry and not watered." such moderate control of watering is more conducive to the healthy growth of stems and leaves and flower bud differentiation.

Fertilization management

Jiuli incense does not like concentrated fertilizer, thin mature cake liquid fertilizer is applied every 10-15 days during the growing period, fresh water should be poured after fertilization when the basin soil is dry, and stop fertilization in winter dormant period.

Fertilization should pay attention to the combined application of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, not just nitrogen fertilizer; before flowering and budding, more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer is beneficial to more flowering and strong flower fragrance. If there is too much nitrogen fertilizer and lack of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, it will only grow branches and leaves and not give birth to buds.

Pruning management

The hair branch of Jiuli incense is strong, it should be pruned constantly in the process of growth, cut short to the long branch, remove the cross branch, overlapping branch and over-dense branch, plump the new branch, and erase the adventitious bud which is not needed by the base or cadre in time, and consume less nutrients.
