Which variety of potted osmanthus is better?
Osmanthus has symbolized auspiciousness and good fortune in China since ancient times. Planting an osmanthus tree at the door can make one appear wealthy and noble, and breaking a branch of the osmanthus in the palace is a metaphor for having someone of high status in the family. Therefore, it is also very good to keep a potted osmanthus at home. With so many varieties of osmanthus, which variety is better for potting?
There are many varieties of osmanthus, and so far, more than 100 have been discovered. Roughly divided, they can be categorized into two major types: August osmanthus and four-season osmanthus, which are distinguished by the month the flowers bloom.
August osmanthus refers to the variety that blooms in the eighth lunar month of autumn every year. There is an old saying that the fragrance of August osmanthus can fill十里 (a Chinese unit of distance), which is a bit exaggerated but some varieties of osmanthus do have a strong fragrance when they bloom, such as golden osmanthus, which is particularly fragrant and usually blooms in the eighth and ninth lunar months. Many friends may have seen it because its fragrance is too strong, so its market value is also the highest, making it a precious variety. Its golden color is also very beautiful, and if you like, you can pot this one at home.
Silver osmanthus blooms slightly later than golden osmanthus, with lighter flower color, which is yellowish-white, and its fragrance is also very strong, second only to golden osmanthus. It also blooms in the eighth and ninth months, and the fragrance spreads far when in bloom.
Dan osmanthus has a relatively late blooming period, usually in the late ninth month. Its flowers have a slightly orange-red hue, and the color is very beautiful, but the fragrance is slightly lighter. These osmanthus varieties can be directly distinguished by the color of their flowers.
Most friends who keep osmanthus have four-season osmanthus. Some wild ones can be dug from the mountains, and this kind of osmanthus has lighter flower colors and a lighter fragrance. However, its plant is short and easy to care for, making it more suitable for potting.
Osmanthus trees generally require plenty of direct sunlight, so it is best to keep them outdoors. They prefer humid air and need to be sprayed with water to keep moist. If planted in the ground, they can be placed in an environment with sufficient sunlight and good ventilation. Osmanthus is more suitable for outdoor maintenance, and if maintained indoors, improper watering can easily lead to dry leaf tips, yellow leaves, and leaf drop.
