Osmanthus is one of the top ten famous traditional flowers in China, integrating greening, beautification, and scenting, making it an excellent garden species with both ornamental and practical qualities. Osmanthus can purify the dust and fill the air with fragrance, making it a marvel. Osmanthus belongs to the osmanthus genus of the Oleaceae family, which is an evergreen shrub or small tree loved by Chinese people since ancient times and is considered a traditional famous flower. It is widely planted in courtyards, parks, and streetsides in southern regions. Every August, the fragrance of osmanthus flowers fills the air, deeply loved by people. Osmanthus is a very popular flowerwood in China. It can be cultivated in courtyards in the area south of the Huaihe River, but in the North China region, it is usually potted. How to care for potted osmanthus?
1. Planting time, osmanthus is usually planted in autumn or before germination in spring.
2. Potting soil preparation, potting osmanthus in a flower pot has great limitations. A flower pot is a special small environment. No matter which type of soil is used alone, it cannot meet the needs of potted flowers for soil in all aspects. Therefore, it is necessary to manually prepare the cultivation soil for potting osmanthus to replace the soil and keep the flowers fixed in the pot, which should have certain water retention, drainage, and be loose, fertile, well-drained, and ventilated, rich in humus with moderate alkalinity. The cultivation soil for osmanthus is usually made of three parts garden soil, two parts coal ash or coarse sand, and one part decayed leaf soil or domestic waste. Alternatively, 75% humus soil or garden soil, 25% coal ash and coarse sand can be used.
3. For potting osmanthus, the selected pot should be relatively large, and the size of the pot should match the diameter of the osmanthus plant's crown. Generally, two-year-old plants use pots with a diameter of 20-25 centimeters, and three-year-old seedlings use pots with a diameter of 30 centimeters or more. A small pot cannot meet the plant's nutrient and water needs.
4. Planting, place碎石 or coarse sand at the bottom of the flower pot to aid drainage, then fill in the cultivation soil, place the osmanthus plant in the center of the pot, straighten it, and ensure the roots are spread out. Press the soil layer by layer, shake the plant slightly when the soil is half-filled, compact the cultivation soil, and do not plant too deep. The potting soil should be 2-4 centimeters away from the pot opening, water the plant thoroughly after potting. After repotting, place the planted osmanthus in a ventilated and cool place for about 10 days, and then manage it according to the daily method after the osmanthus has recovered.
5. Water and fertilizer management, move the osmanthus to a ventilated and sunny place after new leaves appear, keep the potting soil slightly moist, water when the soil is dry, avoid excessive watering and waterlogging in the pot. In hot summers, increase watering when the soil is dry, and do not water too much during the blooming period to prevent flower drop. Control watering in winter to prevent leaf drop and affect the next year's blooming. Remove standing water from the pot after rainfall. During the vigorous growth period, apply a thin solution of animal manure every 7 days or so. Apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers from June to August before blooming. After blooming, apply pig manure, about one or two taels per pot. It is best to change the soil every year and repot every 2-3 years.
6. Pruning osmanthus, pruning is usually done in early spring, cutting off dense inner branches, thin branches, diseased and pest branches, and dead branches after the flowers fade, to ensure good ventilation and light penetration. Pay attention to controlling the strong top and weak bottom, achieve a balanced tree crown, but do not prune heavily, and gradually cultivate it.
7. Winter management, for osmanthus that needs to be brought indoors after winter, the indoor temperature should be maintained at 0-5 degrees Celsius, as high temperatures are not conducive to blooming, and the humidity should be maintained between 50-80%.
8. Note, osmanthus is not resistant to smoke and dust. It often grows poorly in areas with a lot of smoke and dust, with smaller leaves that are easy to fall off and fewer flowers.
