Osmanthus fragrans is an ornamental plant that is relatively easy to grow. It usually likes to grow in places that are sheltered from the wind and facing the sun. Therefore, when it is in a low-lying area under strong winds and heavy rains, it will grow poorly, with sparse branches and leaves and fewer flowers. On the contrary, its branches and leaves will grow lushly and there will be many flowers. How to cultivate Shilixiang1. Pot soil Osmanthus fragrans is a plant that is not very demanding on the soil. Just choose loose, fertile and well-drained soil, then find a large flowerpot to plant it, and add enough base fertilizer to the potting soil to ensure the healthy growth of the plant in the later stage. 2. Temperature Osmanthus fragrans likes a warm growing environment. It grows best in an ambient temperature of 10-20 degrees, so you must pay attention to keeping warm in winter. Due to the particularity of the winter climate, the temperature of its growing environment in winter should not be lower than 18 degrees. 3. Watering Osmanthus fragrans likes a humid climate environment, but you should water it in moderation to avoid water accumulation and keep the soil in the pot moist. In addition, the high temperature in summer evaporates water quickly, so it is best to water it once in the morning and once in the evening. 4. Flower Pots Planting of Osmanthus fragrans requires a suitable flowerpot. It is best to choose a clay pot that is sufficiently permeable and breathable, which is beneficial to its growth. Also, it should be noted that Osmanthus fragrans is a shallow-planted plant, so it is best to choose a relatively shallow flowerpot for planting. 5. Diseases Osmanthus fragrans itself is very susceptible to black rot, so you must pay attention to timely prevention and control of the disease. You can buy common flower disease prevention and control drugs on the market for spraying. Be careful not to wait until the disease spreads very seriously before treating it. It must be killed in time when there are signs.Matters Needing Attention in the Maintenance of Shilixiang1. Fertilization Osmanthus fragrans likes fertilizer. After the plant sprouts, you can apply 1-2 times of compound fertilizer as appropriate, and apply thin liquid fertilizer once every half a month. This will not only ensure the nutritional supply of Osmanthus fragrans, but also increase its roots' ability to absorb fertilizer and water. 2. Pruning Since Osmanthus fragrans grows very fast, it needs regular pruning, usually in late summer or early autumn or after flowering. Only overgrown branches, dead branches, diseased branches and overcrowded branches should be pruned, and the remaining flowers should be pruned in time after the flowers fade. |
