Osmanthus, as one of the top ten traditional Chinese flowers, is an ornamental flower that combines beautiful trees and fragrant flowers. How to cultivate and take care of an osmanthus tree? We will introduce the following four aspects: soil, light, fertilization, and watering.
I. Soil
Potted osmanthus trees must be planted in suitable soil. Osmanthus prefers soil with high breathability and good drainage. A mixture of fertile black soil and sandy soil in a 3:1 ratio is the most suitable for the growth of osmanthus trees.
II. Light
In the early stages of osmanthus tree cultivation, the demand for sunlight is relatively low. It should be avoided to expose it to strong direct sunlight to prevent leaf damage and affect its appearance. In the middle and later stages, ensure 5-8 hours of normal sunlight every day. Long-term shading is not conducive to the growth of osmanthus tree branches and leaves.
III. Fertilization
The soil of the pot must supply sufficient nutrients to ensure a long blooming period and a large number of flowers on the osmanthus tree. It is necessary to fertilize regularly twice a year, once in summer and once in winter. You can choose between farmyard manure (1-2 pounds per plant) or nitrogenous fertilizer (0.1-0.3 pounds per plant). Fertilizing in the morning is best, as it is beneficial for the roots of the osmanthus tree to absorb nutrients.
IV. Watering
During the planting period of the osmanthus tree, be careful to prevent waterlogging, ensure that the pot has good drainage, and soil积水 can cause root rot, slow growth, and difficulty in flowering. In the early stages of planting, observe the soil surface, water when it is dry, and water thoroughly. Adult osmanthus trees have strong drought resistance and low water requirements, so they do not need excessive watering. Watering 1-2 times a week is sufficient.
