What environment is osmanthus suitable for growing?

Osmanthus prefers sunlight and can tolerate shade, its branches and leaves grow luxuriantly and bloom densely under full light, and the branches and leaves grow sparsely and flowers are scarce in the shade. Indoor potted plants should pay special attention to sufficient light to facilitate growth and flower bud formation. Osmanthus is good and moist, and it is important to avoid stagnant water, but it also has a certain ability to tolerate drought.

Osmanthus has less strict requirements for soil, except for poorly drained soil, it can generally grow, but it is most suitable for slightly acidic sandy loam with deep soil layer, loose and fertile, and good drainage. Osmanthus has a certain resistance to harmful gases such as chlorine, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen fluoride, and has a strong ability to absorb dust.

The ratio of potted osmanthus potting soil is 2 parts of humus soil, 3 parts of garden soil, 3 parts of sandy soil, and 2 parts of well-rotted cake fertilizer, which are mixed evenly, and then potted or repotted, which can be carried out before budding in spring.

Indoors, place in a sunny place so that it fully accepts direct sunlight, and keep the room temperature above 5, but not more than 10. After germination in April of the following year, it is moved outdoors, first placed in a leeward and sunny place for maintenance, and then gradually moved to a ventilated sunny or semi-shaded environment after stable growth, and then normal management. Insufficient light during the growth period affects the differentiation of flower buds.

Generally, nitrogen fertilizer is applied once in spring, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer are applied once in summer, so that flowers and leaves are luxuriant, and organic fertilizer is applied once before winter, mainly with well-rotted cake fertilizer and manure. Avoid thick fertilizer, especially feces and urine. Potted osmanthus should be put into a low-temperature greenhouse in the northern winter, pay attention to ventilation and light transmission indoors, and water less.

After leaving the house in April, the amount of water can be increased appropriately, and the appropriate amount of light fertilizer water can be poured in the peak growth season, and the fertilizer water can be slightly thicker in the flowering season.

Osmanthus is suitable for growing in a warm, sunny, humid and ventilated environment.

1. Like warmth: osmanthus likes a warm and humid environment, and the suitable growth temperature is 15-28, high temperature resistance, and severe cold resistance.

2. Prefer sunlight: During the growth period, it is necessary to receive sufficient light, although it can tolerate shade, but if it is in the shade for a long time, it will affect growth and flowering.

3. Likes moisture: osmanthus likes moisture, is resistant to drought, is not resistant to waterlogging, and should not be produced by water accumulation in the soil.

4. Like ventilation: the planting position should be ventilated, it is not resistant to smoke and dust, and indoor maintenance needs to open the window for ventilation.

How to raise a good osmanthus tree:

1. Suitable soil.

Soil is particularly important for the cultivation of osmanthus, alkaline soil and too clay soil is not conducive to the growth of osmanthus, generally choose loose and breathable, conducive to drainage of acidic soil, generally carbon soil, sand and garden soil are more suitable, with the right soil osmanthus can grow better.

2. Water and fertilizer conditions.

Osmanthus trees like a moist environment, the soil is too dry is not conducive to the growth of plants, planting friends need to water the osmanthus trees regularly. In order to make the osmanthus tree grow more lushly, nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers can be applied appropriately, so that the osmanthus tree can grow better and the flowers are more fragrant.

3. Temperature and light conditions.

Osmanthus tree is a light-loving plant, so it is generally necessary to put the osmanthus tree in a sunny place, because the light is insufficient, it will affect the differentiation of flower buds, and in the flowering season, osmanthus will appear very sparse and the fragrance is not strong.

4. Prune regularly.

Osmanthus trees should be pruned regularly, not only to control the height of new shoots, but also very beneficial to flowering, each time before and after flowering, its branches and leaves should be pruned, and the branches that have withered and rotted are pruned off, so that the fragrance of flowers will be stronger.
