How to Cultivate Osmanthus Tree Seedlings
An article provides a detailed introduction on how to cultivate osmanthus tree seedlings and the planting and cultivation techniques of osmanthus flowers. Let's get to know more about it together.
Osmanthus trees are evergreen throughout the year, with lush branches and leaves, blooming in autumn with fragrant flowers. They prefer warm and humid conditions. They are also relatively easy to cultivate, making them a favorite of many households, with many people keeping them at home for care. Below, we will introduce the planting methods of osmanthus trees from four aspects: timing, soil preparation, potting inspection, and starting the planting process.
1. Timing
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
The planting of osmanthus has certain requirements for soil. It is recommended to choose a slightly acidic soil that is loose, fertile, and has good breathability, 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 distance between the soil particles, which can improve soil permeability.
3. Potting Inspection
Before planting in a pot, old, withered, and weak branches should be cut off, and the condition of the root growth should be checked. If there are old or diseased roots, they need to be cut off. The roots should also be disinfected, or the root recovery will be slower.
4. Starting to Plant
Thoroughly mix organic fertilizer into the soil and fill it directly into the pot, avoiding direct contact between the roots and soil. Fill to an appropriate height, 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, as this may damage the roots. After filling, water the plant, ensuring less watering on cloudy days and more during dry weather in summer and autumn.
