How often should I water the osmanthus tree?

When watering the osmanthus tree, you must follow the principle of "watering when dry and watering when wet", but the requirements in different seasons are also different. Normally, just don't let the soil be too wet. This plant is most afraid of watering with alkaline water. In severe cases, it will cause the whole osmanthus tree to die.

1. Watering in spring

The temperature in spring is suitable and the climate is mild, so the growth rate of the osmanthus tree is relatively fast and it can be watered once every three days.

2. Watering in summer

Summer is a hot season and water evaporates quickly, so it is necessary to water the plants once a day. The best time to water is in the morning or evening.

3. Watering in autumn

The temperature begins to drop in autumn, and it is necessary to reduce the frequency and amount of watering appropriately. It is sufficient to water once every three days.

4. Watering in winter

In winter, the osmanthus tree can be watered every 7-10 days, before 10 am. After watering, the soil should be loosened to promote water absorption.

Precautions for watering osmanthus trees

Do not water the newly potted osmanthus tree too much to avoid root rot. After planting, you can increase the frequency of watering. If there are consecutive sunny days, you can water it once every three days or so.
