How long does it take for Osmanthus fragrans to adapt to the pot?

The time for Osmanthus fragrans to adapt to the pot

After repotting, the Daphne odora should be placed in a cool and ventilated place. It will adapt to the pot in about 7-10 days, and then it can be placed in a place with scattered light and maintained normally.

Acclimation performance : If the plant has acclimated, it will look very energetic and grow new branches and leaves, which means it has acclimated. If the plant has not grown or even the leaves are still drooping, it means the plant has not yet adapted to the new environment and it will take longer to acclimate.

Rooting : About 1-2 months after Osmanthus fragrans is potted, the roots will be able to grow stably and fully absorb water and nutrients.

New leaves : The new leaves of Daphne odora have a strong ability to sprout. After repotting, they can grow all over the branches in about a month.

How to make Osmanthus fragrans adapt to the pot quickly

When potting, you need to put some tiles at the bottom of the pot first to prevent the bottom of the pot from being blocked, maintain air permeability and good drainage, prevent water accumulation in the pot soil, and keep the root system healthy. Then put in some soil. The height needs to be similar to that of the previous potting, just enough to cover the position of the plant with soil. It is best to water it thoroughly once to replenish moisture and allow the roots to have better contact with the soil.

Maintenance of Osmanthus fragrans during its acclimatization period

Key points : After repotting, keep the soil moist and breathable, and place it in the shade and scattered light. It is not resistant to high temperature and sunlight in summer, so shade and scattered light are recommended. Full sunlight is recommended in autumn and winter. When the seedlings of Daphne odora have successfully recovered, you can fertilize them. Generally, you can use a water-soluble fertilizer with a balanced nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium for watering, or you can bury some fermented organic fertilizer beside the pot.

Watering : The newly repotted Daphne must be watered to help it take root. You can water it thoroughly once and then reduce watering.

Fertilization : Do not fertilize the Osmanthus fragrans after it is potted. Wait until it has passed the seedling-acclimatization period before fertilizing it. You can apply a compound fertilizer with a balanced nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content. Pay attention to applying thin fertilizers frequently.

Light : Osmanthus fragrans prefers a semi-shaded environment, and it should not be exposed to strong sunlight after repotting. If it is placed directly in the sun, the plant will lose water and the leaves will wilt and droop. After repotting, it should be placed in a cool and ventilated place to slow down the growth. After about 7 days, place it in a bright place for maintenance.
