How to cultivate osmanthus seedlings and how to transplant them

1. How to cultivate

1. Prepare the potting soil: The potting soil should be loose, well-drained and have an acidic pH value to meet the growth needs. You can mix garden soil, river sand and leaf mold yourself. It is best to add a small amount of decomposed organic fertilizer as base fertilizer, so that it has more nutrients.

2. Planting in pots: After preparing the soil, you can plant in pots. When planting, allow the roots to fully expand, then fill the soil carefully so as not to damage the roots. After filling, compact it and water it thoroughly in time to allow it to drink enough water. Also pay attention to the temperature method. As long as the temperature and humidity are suitable, new sprouts can grow in about a week.

3. Post-management: In the later stage, it should be moved to a well-lit place so that it can get sunlight every day. The time of exposure to sunlight should be 5-6 hours, so that the branches and leaves will be more luxuriant. During the growing season, you should apply fertilizer frequently, and use low-concentration fertilizer. In addition, be careful not to water too frequently and make sure there is no accumulation of water.

2. How to transplant

Osmanthus seedlings are usually transplanted in spring and autumn when the temperature is suitable, which can reduce damage to them. They can also adapt faster and grow better after transplanting. When digging, be sure to include the soil clump, otherwise it will easily damage the root system. The soil ball can retain moisture, keep warm, and has a higher survival rate. The later method of burying the plant in the soil can be carried out according to the above-mentioned cultivation method, so that it can grow well.
