How to fertilize Osmanthus fragrans so that the leaves will be green and bright!

How to fertilize

If you want to make Osmanthus fragrans grow well, you must first start with the choice of soil. Before planting, you should choose soil with high humus and mix a certain amount of organic fertilizer in it, so that it can meet its early growth needs.

When applying fertilizer, you can do it when changing the pot. Generally, we change it every two or three years. Put the prepared bone meal, fertilizer cakes and other nutrients at the bottom of the pot, which can promote good growth of the plant.

Around May every year, this is the time when the Osmanthus fragrans grows most vigorously. Fertilization is generally done once a week, and the amount of fertilizer used can be slightly increased than before. The ratio of fertilizer to water is generally 4:6. In addition, we can also add an appropriate amount of fertilizer on the surface of the potting soil, and some of the egg shell residues and rice water we have used can be used for watering. After the flowers of Osmanthus fragrans bloom, we need to apply a small amount of fertilizer to it. It is best to use fertilizers containing nitrogen and phosphorus, which can increase the number of times it blooms.

Precautions

The fertilizer for Osmanthus fragrans can be used at a reduced concentration. If it is not diluted, it will easily affect the growth of Osmanthus fragrans. In addition, no fertilizer is needed for newly potted plants because they have not grown new roots. When the soil in the pot is relatively dry, fertilizing should be carried out together with watering. There is no need to fertilize when it rains. A small amount of fertilizer can be used before it rains, but be careful not to spray it on the leaves.
