Osmanthus saplings are a kind of plant that loves the aroma of full bloom, and are also a relatively delicate tree species. The temperature in winter is low. If it is not properly protected, freezing damage will occur, and in serious cases, it may even lead to plant death. We need to take corresponding measures to provide a suitable growth environment for osmanthus saplings.
1. Winter protection measures Before winter comes, corresponding protection measures need to be taken to avoid freezing damage to osmanthus saplings. It is necessary to prepare the soil well, remove dead leaves, dead branches and other debris, and then loosen the soil and fertilize it to increase the fertility and water retention of the soil. You can choose to protect the trunk, such as wrapping the trunk with hemp rope or linen to prevent cold winds from blowing directly on the trunk.
2. Cold and anti-freezing temperatures are low in winter, and corresponding cold and anti-freezing measures need to be taken to protect the growth of osmanthus saplings. A thick layer of fallen leaves or straw can be laid under the tree to increase the insulation of the ground. You can erect objects around the tree to protect against wind and snow, such as bamboo or wooden boards. In addition, leaves, snow and stagnant water should be cleared in time to avoid causing unnecessary damage to the plants.
3. Cold resistance Osmanthus saplings themselves have certain cold resistance, but it does not mean that they can completely withstand severe cold weather. Before winter comes, the nutrient supply of plants can be appropriately increased to improve their cold resistance. In daily management, attention should be paid to adjusting the nutritional balance of the tree to enhance the immunity and resistance of osmanthus saplings.
4. Suitable temperature Osmanthus saplings like a warm and humid growth environment. The suitable temperature in winter is generally 5-10℃. During winter management, attention should be paid to controlling changes in indoor temperature to avoid excessive or too low indoor temperatures, which will affect the normal growth of osmanthus saplings. At the same time, pay attention to ventilation and maintain indoor air circulation to avoid hypoxia in plants.
5. Moisturizing and heat preservation In winter management, moisturizing and heat preservation should be done to protect the growth of osmanthus saplings. The osmanthus saplings can be completely covered with mulch or plant bags to increase the moisturizing ability of the roots and the ground. Spray irrigation can be used to replenish water to the plants in time to maintain the humidity needed for their growth.
6. Spray irrigation Spray irrigation is a commonly used winter protection measure that can effectively replenish moisture and humidity to osmanthus saplings. During spray irrigation, attention should be paid to using appropriate water quality and water temperature to avoid unnecessary damage to the plants. In addition, pay attention to the frequency and time of spray irrigation, and not too frequently to avoid causing root rot.
7. Trim and shaping Winter is also a good time to prune and shape osmanthus saplings. Appropriate pruning can promote plant growth, and bad branches and leaves can also be removed to improve the aesthetics of the plant. Pay attention to using appropriate tools and techniques when pruning to avoid unnecessary damage to the plants.
8. Diet conditioning Diet conditioning is also one of the important aspects of managing osmanthus saplings in winter. Appropriate dietary conditioning can increase the nutrient supply of plants and improve their immunity and resistance. Pay attention to the use of appropriate fertilizers and nutrients during diet conditioning to maintain healthy growth of plants.
Osmanthus saplings are relatively delicate plants, and corresponding measures must be taken in winter management to provide them with a suitable growth environment. Full preparations and management must be made in terms of winter protection measures, cold and freezing, cold resistance, suitable temperature, moisturizing and insulation, spray irrigation, pruning and shaping, diet conditioning, etc. to ensure the normal growth and blooming of osmanthus saplings.
