How to grow osmanthus, cultivation and management methods

1. Soil

To grow osmanthus, you need to use loose, breathable, and water-permeable soil, preferably acidic. Note that sticky or alkaline soil cannot be used as it will hinder normal growth and affect later flowering. If you are growing it in a potted plant, you can mix it yourself with river sand, leaf mold and garden soil. Remember to disinfect it before potting to avoid infection by pests and diseases.

2. Lighting

It is a plant that likes light, and whether it is planted in the ground or in a pot, it must be ensured that there is sufficient light. If planted in the ground, plant it in a well-lit area. If planted in pots, place them in a well-lit area. Just block the light in time when there is strong light. They can be exposed to the sun at other times. Especially in winter, getting more sun is helpful for surviving the winter.

3. Temperature

The suitable temperature for its growth is between 20-28 degrees. When managing potted plants, try to provide suitable temperature so that it will grow more vigorously. It is cold-resistant and can withstand temperatures as low as minus 13 degrees Celsius, but it is recommended to move it indoors or take timely warming measures in northern regions. When the temperature is high, ventilate more and water frequently.

4. Fertilization

It needs to be fertilized during the growing season and before it blooms. Apply more nitrogen fertilizer during the growing season to promote the growth of branches and leaves and make them lush. Before flowering, stop applying nitrogen fertilizer and increase the application of phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer. This will preserve and promote flowering, increase the number of flowers, and extend the flowering period. If there is a long-term lack of fertilizer, the plant will grow weakly and easily turn yellow, which will affect its viewing and growth.
