It is a kind of August laurel, which is mostly distributed in subtropical areas. In my country, it mainly grows in the Yangtze River Basin and areas south of it. Its height is sometimes very high, reaching about fifteen meters, but it can also be grown in pots. The surface of its leaves is relatively smooth, leathery, oval, obovate, etc. Its flowers are golden yellow.

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Jingui likes warmth, which can also be seen from its main distribution areas. Generally speaking, 18 to 25 degrees is more suitable. Its cold resistance is not particularly good, so try to adjust it slightly in winter, and don't let it go below ten degrees.

2. Light: Jingui likes light. It must have sufficient sunshine so that it can bloom better. Otherwise, its growth will be affected, and it may grow too long, affecting its shape. However, strong light also needs to be avoided, otherwise it will burn its leaves and flowers. Generally speaking, only a little shade in summer is enough.

3. Watering: Osmanthus likes moisture and needs the most water. The season is one month after planting and in summer. It needs to be watered thoroughly every time, and the humidity of the air needs to be controlled. However, it is also intolerant of waterlogging, so just water it thoroughly without allowing water to accumulate.

4. Fertilization: Fertilizer needs to be supplemented according to the principle of “fertilize thinly and apply frequently”. Nitrogen fertilizer is mainly used during the growth period. Before winter, some inorganic fertilizer is also needed.

2. Breeding skills

1 , Propagation: cuttings can be used. This can be done from May to mid-July or September to mid-October. Lightly soiled cultivated land can be used as a cutting site. The soil must be plowed before planting. It is best to trim the cuttings before inserting them to a depth of two-thirds of the entire length. Then spray water and take appropriate measures for shading.

2. Pruning: First, peel off the buds, which means peeling off the useless buds when the plant sprouts. Then there is the work of thinning branches, which is to cut off some branches that are too dense to avoid affecting the light transmission. The last step is to shorten the branches, which are aimed at the long branches and shorten them to control their overall height.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1 Diseases: From July to October, one of the main diseases is "leaf blight", which causes a large number of leaves to dry up and fall off. You can use Class A thiophanate to control it, control the density, and clean up the fallen leaves around it.

2. Pests: The main species include aphids, scale insects, etc., which can be controlled with alcohol or other chemicals.

IV. Other questions

1 , Toxicity: It is not poisonous.

2. Whether it can be grown at home: It is more suitable. Its flowers are suitable for viewing and have a pleasant smell.
