How to divide the seedlings of Murraya paniculata

1. Timing of dividing the pot

When the seedlings of Osmanthus fragrans have been cultivated for about 50 days, the roots underneath have grown out, and are about 5 cm long. The growth is stable and the soil is tightly bound. New shoots have also grown out, and now they can be divided into pots. If transplanting is not done at this time, the new roots will grow too long later, making the operation difficult.

2. Take out the seedlings

Loosen the original soil, then hold the planting container with one hand, slowly pinch the plant with the other hand, and take out the seedling from it. The integrity and health of the root system are the guarantee for later growth. Be careful not to damage the root system when taking it out.

3. Prepare the potting soil

The flowerpot you choose does not need to be too big. The seedlings are relatively small. If you use a large pot, it will be difficult to control the amount of water. The requirements for soil are not strict, but it must be breathable, well-drained and nutritious. It can be prepared with garden soil, fine sand, leaf mold, bone meal, etc. It must be disinfected before use to ensure safety.

4. Planting in pots

After preparation, spray water on the soil to moisten it, then plant the seedlings in it and gently compact the surrounding soil. Don't expose it to strong light at first, wait until it is stable before exposing it to light appropriately.
