How to plant osmanthus and what are the planting time and methods

Osmanthus planting time

Osmanthus can generally be planted in late spring, which is the most suitable time because spring has more rain and the climate is warmer, which is the season for all things to grow. This is the best time to plant osmanthus seedlings and the plants are most likely to survive.

Osmanthus planting method

When planting osmanthus, you should choose loose, slightly acidic sandy soil, then apply an appropriate amount of decomposed fertilizer and stir it to make it a base fertilizer. Then plant the osmanthus directly in the dug pit, cover it with a layer of soil and compact it, and water and maintain it in time.

How to plant the osmanthus flowers you just bought

Light : Osmanthus likes light, but the newly bought osmanthus cannot be exposed to sunlight directly. It needs to be kept in a cool place for a period of time and then slowly exposed to light.

Watering : For the newly bought osmanthus, you need to reduce the amount of watering as appropriate. No need to water it too much. Wait until the plant resumes growth before watering it normally. Normally, keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.

Temperature : Osmanthus likes a warm environment. It is best to keep the newly bought osmanthus in an environment with a temperature of about 25℃. This will help it adapt to the new environment.

How to grow osmanthus quickly

If you want osmanthus to grow fast, you need to choose loose and well-drained acidic soil when planting, and ensure 6-7 hours of light time every day during the growing period. During the growth period, you also need to apply a thin fertilizer solution every month, and apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once in summer.

Precautions for Osmanthus potted cultivation

It is necessary to provide loose and slightly acidic soil for osmanthus, and the ambient temperature should be controlled between 18 degrees and 25 degrees. When the weather is hot, water it every other day to keep the soil moist, and regularly trim the branches and leaves to ensure the vigorous growth of potted osmanthus.
