Osmanthus osmanthus is a plant with a very beautiful aroma. It is often used to make food and spices and is deeply loved by people. To grow osmanthus at home, we usually need to plant it in the soil. However, in many places, the soil quality is not good and cannot support the growth of osmanthus flowers. Are there any other ways to make osmanthus grow? The answer is yes! We can use sand to grow osmanthus flowers.
1: Understand the advantages of planting osmanthus with sand. There are many advantages to planting osmanthus with sand. Sand can absorb water and nutrients well, which is crucial for the growth of osmanthus. Sand can also help drain water and remove excess water, preventing the roots from getting too wet. Planting osmanthus with sand not only saves time and effort, but also beautifies the environment and brings us more fun.
Two: Choosing the right sand Choosing the right sand is an important step in planting osmanthus with sand. It is best to use fine sand or medium sand. The color of the sand is preferably light yellow or light gray. This kind of sand has less water content and is more suitable for the growth of osmanthus flowers.
3: Determine the variety of osmanthus osmanthus. There are many different varieties of osmanthus, such as Jingui, Yingui, and Heigui. Each variety has different growth conditions and requirements, so special attention should be paid when selecting varieties. It is best to choose varieties suitable for the local growing environment, so that the growth and maturity of osmanthus can be better ensured.
Four: Prepare pot soil and nutrient soil to plant osmanthus flowers. You need to prepare pot soil and nutrient soil. The basin soil is preferably loose soil, and some legular soil, rice hull ash and other substances can be added to increase fertility. Organic fertilizers or chemical fertilizers can be used for nutritious soil to supplement the nutrients lacking in the sand.
Five: Selecting healthy osmanthus seedlings Selecting healthy osmanthus seedlings is also an important part of planting osmanthus with sand. It is best to choose seedlings with developed roots, green leaves and no pests. If you have the conditions, you can choose to cultivate osmanthus seedlings yourself.
6: Dig the cultivation pit Add appropriate amount of nutritious soil and sand to the dug cultivation pit and mix them evenly. The depth and width of the pit should be determined according to the size of the osmanthus seedlings. Generally speaking, the depth should be slightly deeper than the seedlings and the width should be larger than the roots of the seedlings.
Seven: Put the osmanthus seedlings into the pit and carefully plant the prepared osmanthus seedlings into the cultivation pit to ensure that the roots are completely covered and the leaves are exposed. Then gently tap the sand to firm it and water it thoroughly.
Eight: Ensure proper light and humidity. Osmanthus likes a sunny environment, so we should choose the right location to place it. At the same time, we also need to pay attention to controlling humidity to avoid being too wet or too dry for a long time. Humidity can be adjusted by spraying water or using a humidifier.
Nine: Timely fertilization of osmanthus requires sufficient nutrients to grow, so we need timely fertilization. You can choose organic fertilizer or chemical fertilizer and apply it once a month to ensure the healthy growth of osmanthus.
Ten: Maintain the breathability of the basin soil. The breathability of sand is very good, but during the process of planting osmanthus, the sand may reduce the breathability due to its tightness. Therefore, we need to loosen the soil regularly to ensure the breathability and ventilation of the basin soil.
Eleven: Regularly prune the branches and leaves of sweet-scented osmanthus grow very fast, which will affect its aesthetics and health during the growth process. Therefore, we need to prune the branches and leaves regularly to maintain the shape and health of osmanthus.
Twelve: Avoiding pests and diseases is one of the main factors affecting the growth of osmanthus fragrans. We need to pay attention to environmental sanitation, avoid the accumulation of garbage, fallen leaves and other debris, and at the same time, we must also detect and deal with pests and diseases in a timely manner.
XIII: Pay attention to watering. Watering is a very important part of the growth of osmanthus flowers. We need to adjust the amount of watering according to different seasons and weather conditions to avoid too much or too little watering.
XIV: Pay attention to insulation In cold winter, we need to pay attention to insulation to avoid freezing of osmanthus flowers. A layer of insulation materials such as soil or straw curtains can be added around the cultivation pit.
Fifteen: Use of sand for planting osmanthus osmanthus growing osmanthus with sand is a simple, convenient and beautiful method. Steps such as selecting suitable sand, determining osmanthus varieties, selecting healthy seedlings, digging cultivation pits, fertilizing, and pruning are all very important. As long as we take these steps seriously, we can grow beautiful and healthy osmanthus flowers at home.
