Cultivation methods and techniques of star anise osmanthus

Star anise osmanthus is an ornamental plant that many people like. It is very common in nature, but some people are not satisfied with watching star anise osmanthus outside and want to grow it at home. However, they do not know its cultivation methods and do not know how to grow star anise osmanthus well. Let me talk about this issue in detail below.

1. Planting method

When cultivating star anise osmanthus, you must choose the right time to plant it. It is best to plant it in spring or autumn on a rainy day. The soil for planting star anise osmanthus should be acidic, fertile and well permeable. You can prepare the culture soil at home by yourself. You can choose two parts of humus, three parts of garden soil, and two parts of three-quarters of sandy cake fertilizer. After mixing them together, you can directly plant the star anise osmanthus in it.

2. Light and temperature

When cultivating star anise osmanthus, light and temperature are the two most important conditions. It likes plenty of sunlight during its growth period. It can usually be placed in an environment where it can receive direct sunlight, but after entering winter, it must be moved to a warm room. Its wintering temperature cannot be lower than five degrees, otherwise it will die due to the low temperature.

3. Appropriate fertilization

The demand for fertilizer of Osmanthus fragrans during its growth period is relatively large. It is necessary to apply fertilizer every half a month. Especially after it enters the flowering period, phosphorus fertilizer should be applied in time to promote flowering. The fertilizer applied on a regular basis can be nitrogen fertilizer or decomposed organic fertilizer. In addition, the pot should be changed every 1 to 2 years during the breeding period to keep the soil in the pot fertile.

4. Watering method

If you want to grow and water the star anise osmanthus well, you must master the correct method. Normally, you should water it once after planting, and water it thoroughly. Then water it every 4 to 5 days. After the hot summer weather, you should increase the frequency of watering and spray water on its leaves. However, after entering winter, the star anise osmanthus will enter a dormant state. At this time, you should reduce the frequency of watering and water it once every 10 to 15 days. If you water it too many times, its branches and leaves will grow too long and its roots will rot.
