Evergreen and noble flowers
Many friends ask me when is the best time to plant osmanthus? In fact, osmanthus can be planted in spring, autumn, and winter. It's not suitable to plant in summer because the high temperature can cause the seedlings to dehydrate easily. Many friends think spring is the best planting season for osmanthus, but that's not entirely true. Why? Because in spring, osmanthus has already sprouted new buds, and these new buds will quickly wither after transplanting. Although the plant may survive, there will still be some impact! Planting osmanthus in autumn and winter does not have this problem.
So, what should be paid attention to when planting osmanthus in autumn and winter?
Actually, osmanthus is a very easy-to-care-for green plant. First of all, it has a developed root system, strong germination, and strong adaptability to temperature, being able to adapt to environments from -15 to 40 degrees Celsius. Therefore, it can be planted in most parts of our country. So, when planting osmanthus in autumn and winter, we just need to pay attention to the following four points to make the osmanthus branches lush and flowers abundant!
1. Soil,
Many friends use flower fertilizer soil to plant osmanthus, which is actually not correct, because flower fertilizer soil is not good for the stabilization of osmanthus roots, so it is difficult for the plant to survive. We should use general field soil or vegetable garden soil, which is just ordinary soil.
Such vegetable garden soil is very good
2. Sunlight
Although osmanthus is a sun-loving plant, it's not good to expose newly transplanted osmanthus to direct sunlight, as it can easily die. This is because the root system of the osmanthus has not yet recovered and cannot absorb water well. It's best not to expose it to the sun for half a month. If it's outdoors, some branches should be pruned to reduce water evaporation and help it survive.
3. Watering
The frequency of watering osmanthus depends on the weather and the growth condition of the plant. During maintenance, whether indoors or outdoors, we need to ensure that the soil is moist. Don't ask me how often to water it.
4. Fertilizing
It's best not to fertilize newly transplanted osmanthus. First, to prevent root burning, and second, the plant cannot absorb the fertilizer well, which may have a bad effect. We should fertilize once in spring and autumn every year after the osmanthus has survived.
The above four points are the matters that need to be paid attention to when planting osmanthus in autumn and winter. Are they simple?
Moreover, in autumn, you can also cut some sturdy branches for leaf cutting, which can propagate many small osmanthus seedlings, and it's a fun thing to do! Do you like to keep osmanthus as a potted plant?
