How to cultivate osmanthus? What are the things to pay attention to?
Firstly, the soil for cultivating osmanthus should be garden soil or flower bed soil, but not nutrient-rich soil. Regular watering should keep the soil moist but not waterlogged or too dry. Osmanthus prefers sunlight, and in a well-lit environment, the branches and leaves grow vigorously, with abundant blooming. If it's too dark, the branches and leaves will be sparse, and flowers will be few. Extra care is needed during maintenance.
