When is the blooming season for osmanthus flowers?
The editor will tell you about the blooming season of osmanthus flowers and some green plant maintenance tips. Next, the editor will introduce them.
There is less than a month left before the osmanthus flowers start to bloom. I remember when I was in high school, every September and October, as soon as I stepped out of the classroom after class, I could smell the strong fragrance of flowers in the air, as if the whole world was filled with the scent of osmanthus flowers. Even though I couldn't see the osmanthus flowers, their fragrance floated in the air like a "living perfume."
The osmanthus flowers growing by the road actually don't bloom for a long time, usually lasting about 20 days before they start to wither. But if you cultivate osmanthus flowers yourself and take good care of them, it's possible for them to bloom for two months. The blooming season of osmanthus flowers is coming soon. How should we take care of them during the period before the blooming season?
I. Methods to make osmanthus flowers bloom more
1. Master the unique watering method for osmanthus flowers
I believe that the watering method for osmanthus flowers is not suitable for "watering when dry" or "watering when completely dry," but needs to be mastered separately. Like now, during the season of transitioning from summer to autumn, the weather is relatively dry, so more watering is needed. Keeping the soil slightly moist is fine, and using a spray bottle to water can control the amount of water well.
If the weather is overcast or rainy, less watering is needed. Osmanthus flowers that have been rained on should be drained in time to prevent waterlogging in the potting soil, as osmanthus flowers can easily drown in waterlogged soil. Less watering should also be done when new shoots appear.

2. Different fertilizing frequencies at different times
Many long-term flower growers should know that osmanthus flowers prefer animal manure, especially pig manure, so osmanthus flowers are usually fertilized with decomposed pig manure liquid. The osmanthus flowers I've seen are usually fertilized with decomposed cake fertilizer liquid.
Only when osmanthus flowers absorb fertilizer will they produce more flowers and have a stronger fragrance. It's mid-August now, and you can apply one last dose of fertilizer before the blooming season. Previously, it was fertilized once every 10 days in spring and once a week in summer.
3. Daily pruning management cannot stop
Osmanthus flowers have a long lifespan and a well-developed root system. A mature osmanthus tree usually goes through two stages of producing new branches each year. Pruning should be done especially before the blooming season to make the flowers more vibrant in color and produce more full blooms.
