How long does the osmanthus flower last? Factors that affect the length of the flowering period

1. How long is the flowering period?

It usually blooms in autumn from September to early October, and the flowering period is not very long. Under normal management, it can last more than 20 days. Sometimes it may last longer, but it will not exceed 2 months. There are many varieties of it, and one of them is very special, which is Osmanthus fragrans. As long as it is managed properly, it will bloom every two or three months, so the flowering period is relatively long, and it can bloom for about 6 months in total.

2. Factors affecting the length of flowering period

1. Light: Flowering cannot be separated from the nourishment of light, and the length of flowering period is naturally related to light. If it is placed in direct sunlight for a long time during the flowering period, the flowering period may end prematurely. It is recommended to move it to a dim or shady place after flowering so that the flowering period will last longer.

2. Nutrients: Scientific fertilization can extend the flowering period and make the flowers bloom better. Fertilization should be applied before flowering, with more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to promote flowering. Sufficient nutrients can also prolong the flowering period. Stop fertilizing after the plant blooms, otherwise the branches and leaves will grow too lush and the flowers will fall prematurely.

3. Water: Water is also a factor that affects the flowering period. After flowering, you should reduce the amount of water appropriately and avoid watering frequently. If the soil is moist for a long time, the branches and leaves will tend to grow too tall, and the flowers will easily fall off. If the soil is not dry at this time, you don't need to water it yet. Wait until it turns white and then water it.
