For many girls, the topic of how to plant an osmanthus tree and the key points of its cultivation technique is a subject about flowers and plants. Please refer to the detailed introduction below.
Osmanthus is also known as rock osmanthus. It is one of the top ten famous traditional flowers in China, integrating greening, beautification, and fragrance into an ornamental garden species. When the osmanthus flowers bloom, they can be refreshingly dust-free or strongly aromatic, widely loved by everyone.
Methods for Planting Osmanthus Tree:
1. Choosing the soil is the first step, and also the most important one. The requirements for the planting soil of the osmanthus tree are slightly acidic and avoiding alkaline soil. For potted osmanthus, a sandy soil with a thick layer, loose and fertile, and good drainage can be used. A mixture of decomposed leaf soil, garden soil, sandy soil, and matured cake fertilizer in the ratio of 2:3:3:2 can be evenly mixed and then used for potting.
2. The newly planted osmanthus tree must be watered to maintain the humidity in the air, but the osmanthus tree is not tolerant of waterlogging, so avoid积水. For potted osmanthus in northern China during winter, attention should be paid to indoor ventilation and lighting, and less watering. After April, the water volume can be appropriately increased.
3. In the summer, the osmanthus tree can be applied with a phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, which is beneficial for flower and leaf growth. After entering winter, an organic fertilizer can be applied, mainly matured cake fertilizer, and concentrated fertilizers should not be used. Fertilization should follow the principle of "frequent application of thin fertilizers," mainly using fast-acting nitrogenous fertilizers and fertilizing according to the growth condition of the osmanthus. For newly planted osmanthus, avoid early top-dressing to prevent root damage.
4. The osmanthus tree prefers to grow in a warm environment, with an average temperature of 14-28°C, and it cannot be lower than 8°C in winter. The humidity throughout the year is best maintained at 75%-85%.
5. The osmanthus tree should be moved indoors in winter and placed in a sunny location to receive light. In the summer, when the sun is strong, it should be shaded, and it should have sufficient light during the growing period to avoid flower bud differentiation.
6. The main diseases of the osmanthus tree include brown spot and leaf blight. A Bordeaux mixture of 1:2:200 can be used for spraying. It is necessary to clear the diseased leaves in a timely manner and remove the sick leaves.
7. Prune the osmanthus tree in time, cutting off the diseased branches, withered branches, and overly long branches.
