How to transplant Osmanthus fragrans

Transplanting time of Osmanthus fragrans

Transplanting of Osmanthus fragrans is usually carried out in spring or autumn, but it is best to transplant in spring. If you want to transplant in autumn, you can do it in a place where the temperature gradually drops and there is sufficient water, usually after October.

When transplanting Osmanthus fragrans, you should choose branches that are growing well, strong, and free of diseases and insect pests, and it is best if they have not yet produced new shoots. If you want to transplant large flower seedlings, you must water them thoroughly a week in advance so that the roots can absorb enough water and it will be easier for them to remove from the pot.

Transplanting method of Osmanthus fragrans

Osmanthus fragrans can be dug up on cloudy days or in the morning and evening using tools such as a shovel. The seedlings must be brought along with the soil ball, and it is best to make the soil ball larger. When transplanting seedlings, be careful not to damage the roots. The soil ball can be tied tightly with straw rope.

Before transplanting, you need to dig a suitable hole, then put the Osmanthus fragrans with the soil ball into the hole and fill it with soil. Because Osmanthus fragrans is not tolerant of waterlogging, the planting depth should be higher than before when filling the soil. After filling all the soil, water it thoroughly. If the Osmanthus fragrans plant is relatively large, appropriate pruning can be carried out to increase the survival rate.

Management of Osmanthus fragrans after transplanting

After transplanting Osmanthus fragrans, the key to management is water. After the first thorough watering, you can water it again 3-4 days later. Transplanted large saplings can be supported to prevent them from falling over. In autumn, you can cover the plants with straw to prevent the bark from cracking. When transplanting, if the weather is dry, you can spray water.
