How to grow osmanthus trees well, pictures of osmanthus trees

1. Slightly acidic soil

Osmanthus trees prefer loose, well-drained, fertile and slightly acidic soil. They grow better in such a soil environment. When breeding, you can prepare your own nutrient soil by mixing it with leaf mold, river sand and garden soil. After preparation, add an appropriate amount of decomposed organic fertilizer, so that it has sufficient nutrients and is conducive to growth.

2. Watering at the right time

When watering it, just water it only when the soil is dry. Do not water it too frequently, otherwise the soil will stay in a moist environment for a long time and the roots will easily rot. Also note that the water temperature for watering should be similar to the soil temperature, not too low or too high, otherwise it will affect growth.

3. Adequate lighting

It is relatively light-loving and should be exposed to the sun more often. In spring and autumn, it can be placed in a bright place, ensuring that it gets five or six hours of light every day. The strong light in the summer afternoon is very strong, so you need to block it or avoid it in time. The light in winter is suitable, and it is best to be exposed to sunlight all day.

4. Reasonable fertilization

A lot of nutrients will be consumed during the growing season, so they should be supplemented in time and appropriate fertilizers should be given. Generally, more nitrogen fertilizer is applied when the shoots are growing, so that the branches and leaves will be more luxuriant. Apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before flowering, so that the flower buds can be better differentiated, the number of flowers will increase and the flowering period will be prolonged. Normally, you need to add fertilizer once every half a month, using a dilute liquid fertilizer. In addition, remember to stop fertilizing in winter.
