Core introduction to the text: Tips on how to plant osmanthus and the cultivation methods and timing for caring for osmanthus trees. Next, let's introduce these to everyone by the editor.
Osmanthus trees are evergreen, with lush branches and leaves, and bloom in autumn with a fragrant aroma. They prefer warm and humid conditions. They are also relatively easy to cultivate, making them a favorite for many families, with many people keeping them at home for care. Let's discuss the planting methods of osmanthus from four aspects: timing selection, soil preparation, potting inspection, and starting to plant.
1. Timing Selection
Planting osmanthus in spring is more suitable because at this time, the growth of osmanthus will be better. After planting, it will recover more quickly, and its survival rate is higher than at other times.
2. Soil Preparation
Osmanthus planting has certain requirements for soil. It is recommended to choose a loose, fertile, and well-ventilated slightly acidic soil, as this is more beneficial for its growth. Garden soil can be used directly, or a little humus and a small amount of organic fertilizer can be added to promote faster growth. Some pebbles can also be mixed into the soil to increase the spacing between the soil particles and improve soil permeability.
3. Potting Inspection
Before planting in a pot, old, withered, and weak branches need to be cut off, and the growth condition of the roots should be inspected. If there are old or diseased roots, they should be cut away. The roots should also be disinfected, or the root recovery will be slower.
4. Starting to Plant
Thoroughly mix the soil with organic fertilizer and fill it into the pot, making sure the roots do not come into direct contact with the soil. Fill to an appropriate height and then place the treated osmanthus seedling into the pot. Fill the surrounding area with soil, and after filling, gently tap the pot to make the soil adhere to the roots. Press the soil lightly with your hands without too much force to avoid damaging the roots. After filling, water the plant, ensuring to reduce watering on cloudy days and increase watering during dry weather in summer and autumn.
