How to pinch the tip of Osmanthus fragrans and what to do if the leaves fall off

1. How to pinch the heart

When pinching the Osmanthus fragrans, it is time to use sharp scissors to cut off the faster growing part at the top when the plant is still a seedling. The purpose of doing this is to provide enough nutrients to promote the growth of side branches, and the plant shape will be more beautiful. Generally speaking, when the plant seedlings grow 7 or 8 leaves, they can be pinched off.

2. What to do if leaves fall off

1. Water control and ventilation: Leaf falling is most likely caused by over-watering, so it is necessary to control water and place the potted plants in a ventilated place for maintenance to speed up the evaporation of accumulated water in the pots.

2. Turn over the soil and prune the roots: If the plant continues to drop leaves after controlling the water for a period of time, you need to turn over the soil and prune the roots. First, dig the plant out of the potting soil, trim off the rotten roots, loosen the soil in the pot and replant it.

3. Appropriate light: If it is not exposed to sunlight for a long time during normal maintenance, it will continue to shed leaves, so it is necessary to ensure a certain amount of light exposure every day, at least 2 hours of light a day.
