In the golden autumn season, with the fragrance of osmanthus filling the air, in this season of harvest, osmanthus bonsai in the corners of my home has become a bright spot in my heart. Let me show off the osmanthus bonsai in my home and share this elegant beauty with everyone.
The Origin of Osmanthus BonsaiI remember it was last autumn when I was strolling in the flower market and was attracted by the green osmanthus bonsai. The full trees of osmanthus seemed to be telling the story of autumn. I bought one of them without hesitation and brought it home. Since then, my home has added a beautiful landscape.
Maintenance of Osmanthus BonsaiThe maintenance of osmanthus bonsai is not complicated, but there are some points that need attention.
1. Soil: Osmanthus likes well-drained soil, so I chose breathable leaf mold soil. Before planting, I even added an appropriate amount of decomposed organic fertilizer to the soil to provide sufficient nutrients for the osmanthus.
2. Watering: Osmanthus prefers moist conditions but is afraid of waterlogging. I generally keep the soil slightly moist and avoid water accumulation. In the hot summer, I will increase the watering frequency appropriately to keep the soil moist.
3. Light: Osmanthus loves sunshine but is not tolerant to strong direct sunlight. I usually place the osmanthus bonsai on the balcony to let it fully absorb the sunlight while avoiding direct sunlight at noon.
4. Fertilizing: During the growing period of osmanthus, I apply a compound fertilizer once a month to promote its growth.
Ornamental Value of Osmanthus BonsaiOsmanthus bonsai not only has high ornamental value but also has many medicinal values. According to "Compendium of Materia Medica," osmanthus has the effects of dispelling cold and relieving pain, and activating meridians and collaterals. In the family, osmanthus bonsai can not only add a touch of elegance to the home environment but also bring health to the family.
Cultural Connotation of Osmanthus BonsaiOsmanthus has a long history in our country and is known as the "Queen of Flowers." Since ancient times, osmanthus has been praised by scholars and poets. The Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei once wrote, "The fragrance of osmanthus fills the garden, and I can't sleep all night." It can be seen that osmanthus occupies a very important position in our culture.
Showing off the osmanthus bonsai in my home has made me feel the magical charm of nature. In this golden autumn season, let's appreciate the beauty of osmanthus bonsai and feel that elegance. I also hope that this article can provide everyone with some experience in maintaining osmanthus bonsai, allowing more people to enjoy this beauty.
