How to grow Daphne odora in summer

Summer pruning:

Daphne koreana is a plant that is particularly resistant to pruning, and the top of the plant also has a strong advantage. Based on these two characteristics, it can be topped to promote the growth of buds. Prune the newly grown branches in batches and time periods from June to July every year, and the pruning length should be 1/2 of the branch. This will allow the new buds on the side to grow new branches. This can extend its flowering period.

Application of fertilizer and water:

In July and August, you should stop fertilizing the soil of Daphne koreana and use spraying fertilization instead. The fertilizer should be mainly potassium dihydrogen phosphate liquid. Fertilization should be done about 2 to 3 times. The soil should be watered during fertilization. This will make the Daphne koreana grow stronger and its leaves more fleshy. In September, fertilization should be done every 10 days. The fertilizer should be mainly potassium dihydrogen phosphate liquid. This will allow the flower buds to differentiate and form buds at the same time.

Watering method:

When the temperature is high and the air is drier in the summer, Osmanthus fragrans will enter a semi-dormant state. At this time, the soil should be kept dry, but the air should be kept moisturizing and humid. You can use a spray bottle to spray water on and around its leaves every day, twice a day, to maintain the humidity of the air.

Note:

Do not expose the Osmanthus fragrans to the sun in summer, provide appropriate shade.
