Cultivation methods and precautions of Osmanthus fragrans

Osmanthus fragrans is a weakly sun-loving plant. It likes to grow in a warm and humid environment. When its beautiful flowers bloom, they will emit a rich osmanthus fragrance. Many people usually plan to cultivate Osmanthus fragrans, but because they don’t understand its cultivation method, they dare not try it. In fact, the cultivation method of Osmanthus fragrans is not complicated. I will write it down in detail and tell you, and let you know what you need to pay attention to during the cultivation process of Osmanthus fragrans.

Farming methods

1. Soil

The choice of soil is particularly important for growing Osmanthus fragrans. It likes fertile, loose, slightly acidic soil. Usually, peat soil, garden soil, sandy soil and river sand can be mixed and mixed to make culture soil. In addition, the soil should be disinfected with potassium permanganate before planting Osmanthus fragrans. The pot should be changed every two years during the cultivation period, and the pot should be changed every spring.

2. Reasonable watering

When growing Osmanthus fragrans, you must water it properly. It likes a high temperature and dry environment. In the hot summer weather, you can increase the amount of watering appropriately to keep the soil moisture at around 50%. During the budding period, you should water it less and do not allow water to accumulate in the flower bed, otherwise its roots will rot.

3. Apply fertilizer correctly

Osmanthus fragrans is a fertilizer-loving plant. Especially after it enters the peak growth season, it has a relatively large demand for organic fertilizer. At this time, it can be fertilized once a week. The fertilizer can be a thin cake fertilizer or pig manure liquid fertilizer. After entering July every year, organic compound fertilizer should be applied, and the supply of phosphorus fertilizer should be increased in September. This will make the four-season flower grow more luxuriantly, bloom in time, and have a longer flowering period.

Precautions

When growing Osmanthus fragrans, you must pay attention to branch pruning. After it blooms for the first time every year, you must promptly cut back the longer and overly lush branches of the plant, leaving only the short and thick branches. Before it sprouts in the early spring of the second year, you must cut off all the dead, weak and diseased branches so that it can grow new branches better.
