Can osmanthus trees be grown in the north? How to grow osmanthus trees in the north

1. Osmanthus fragrans can be grown in the north

The climate in the north is relatively colder, especially in winter. However, it is cold-resistant and can withstand temperatures as low as minus 13 degrees Celsius, so it can be grown in the north. However, if the temperature in your area is at minus 13 degrees Celsius for a long time, you must take timely warming measures and pay more attention to management to avoid frostbite.

2. Breeding methods

1. Light: It is a plant that prefers light. It should be placed in the light and allowed to get more sun. Especially in winter, it is best to stay in the sun all day. However, the sunlight in the north is also very strong in summer, so you must avoid it in time to prevent sunburn of the leaves.

2. Watering: Watering should be determined according to its growth conditions. During the growing season, water frequently. The north is relatively dry, so you need to spray water frequently to increase the humidity. Reduce the amount of water during the flowering period. Too much water can easily cause flowers to fall and the flowering period will end prematurely. In addition, you need to control water in winter and don’t water unless the soil is dry, otherwise it is easy to get frostbite.

3. Fertilization: Fertilization is needed during the peak growing season. More nitrogen fertilizer can be applied in spring to promote the germination of branches and leaves and vigorous growth. Before flowering, reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizer and apply more phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer, so that the flower buds can differentiate faster and better, and the flowering period will be extended. Fertilize once after the flowering period to help the plant survive the winter. However, the plant stops growing in winter, so you should stop applying fertilizer. Even if you apply it, it will not be absorbed and will instead cause fertilizer damage.
