How many days does it take for sweet osmanthus to fall off after it blooms? Management of sweet osmanthus flowering period

1. A few days of falling flowers

The flowers do not last very long after blooming, usually falling off after more than 20 days. However, the specific details should be determined based on daily management. If managed properly, some can last longer, but the longest will not exceed 2 months.

It usually blooms between September and October in autumn. Although the flowers are small, they have a strong fragrance that can be smelled from a long distance, which is why it is so popular. It has many varieties, and the total flowering time of different varieties is also different. For example, Osmanthus fragrans blooms in all seasons. Specifically, it can bloom every two or three months, but the fragrance and color of the flowers will fade in the later period.

2. Flowering period management

If you want it to bloom better and longer, you must pay attention to the management of the flowering period. The main three aspects are light, water and nutrients. When the flowers bloom, move them to a place with weak light or a cool shade, and avoid direct sunlight, otherwise the flowering period will end prematurely. The amount of watering should also be less than before flowering, and do not water until the soil is dry. Otherwise, the branches and leaves will grow vigorously, competing for nutrients, and the flowers will fall. In addition, fertilizer should be applied before flowering, preferably phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, which will promote the differentiation of flower buds. However, you have to stop fertilizing after flowering, and wait until the flowering period is completely over before applying it again.
