How to water potted Osmanthus fragrans

How to water

Osmanthus fragrans is a tropical and subtropical flower that likes places with warm climates, but is most afraid of severe cold weather. If it is planted in the north, the winter temperature needs to be ensured. Not only that, how to water it becomes an important part of its growth. Osmanthus fragrans can grow well in the shade of the balcony at home and is very suitable for decorating the environment.

Osmanthus fragrans has a relatively high demand for water and usually prefers a relatively humid environment. Since it is a potted plant, it is easy for the soil to lack moisture, causing drought. If watering is not timely at this time, it will cause the Osmanthus fragrans to dry up. When watering, make sure that the soil is completely wet. Not too little or too much water to cause water accumulation, otherwise the roots of the plant will easily rot, causing the growth of Osmanthus fragrans to be poor. When the soil is dry, it is the best time to water. Frequent watering is not necessary at other times.

Watering before flowers

In the early stage of flower bud growth of potted Osmanthus fragrans, the amount of water should be controlled so that the flower buds can complete the differentiation. In the later stage, the soil can be kept in a semi-moist and semi-dry condition. If there is a long period of rainy weather, you should place the flower pot on its side or in a place where it will not be affected by the rain.

Watering during the growing season

When the growth is more vigorous, not much water is needed, just keep the soil soft and moist. In summer, Osmanthus fragrans does not require a lot of water. As long as the soil in the pot is not too dry and water is sprayed around it frequently, it will grow well.
