When does osmanthus sprout and grow leaves?

Osmanthus budding time

Generally, osmanthus will sprout when the temperature reaches 15℃. However, the climate in each region is different, and the germination time is also different. Most of them sprout in March-May. The specific time is affected by factors such as climate, temperature, and planting time.

Osmanthus germination requirements

1. Temperature

If you want the osmanthus to sprout as soon as possible, you need to provide it with a suitable growth temperature. It is best to control the ambient temperature at around 14-28℃. Temperatures that are too high or too low are not conducive to germination.

2. Watering

Before new shoots of osmanthus appear, water less frequently. In dry weather in summer and autumn, water more frequently. Normally, keep the soil moisture content at around 50%, which is most suitable for germination.
