Osmanthus fragrans tree planting methods and key points

1. Prepare the soil

Before planting osmanthus trees, you need to prepare suitable flower pots and soil. Choose clay pots or clay pots with good drainage and air permeability. For soil, use a mixture of leaf mold, garden soil, river sand and a small amount of organic fertilizer. This can promote the growth of the plant.

2. Prune the roots

Before potting the osmanthus tree, you can trim off the rotten and old roots to allow the plant to grow better. After the roots are trimmed, they must be disinfected and placed in a well-ventilated environment. After the wounds are dry, you can pot it.

3. Planting in pots

Plant the treated osmanthus tree in the soil. You can spread a layer of small gravel at the bottom of the flowerpot to increase the drainage of the soil, which is more conducive to the growth of the plant. After potting, you need to observe the dryness and wetness of the soil and water it slightly to keep the soil moist.

4. Post-maintenance

After planting the osmanthus tree, it needs to be maintained in a cool, well-ventilated environment to give it time to adapt to the new environment, about a week or so. After the plant has adapted, the light conditions can be appropriately increased to promote the growth of the plant.
