When breeding, the soil should be loose, breathable and water-permeable. It is best to be acidic. Avoid sticky or alkaline soil, which will hinder growth. It likes light. Whether it is planted on the ground or in a pot, it must have enough light to grow and bloom normally. It usually provides the best temperature of 20-28 degrees. Although it is cold-resistant, it is recommended to move indoors in northern areas in winter to avoid frostbite. In addition, fertilizer must be supplemented during the growing season and flowering period. Only by applying fertilizer properly can the plant grow more vigorously.

1. Soil

To cultivate Osmanthus fragrans, you need to use loose, air-permeable and water-permeable soil. It is best to be acidic. Note that sticky or alkaline soil cannot be used, as it will hinder normal growth and will also Influence late flowering. If you are managing potted plants, you can mix river sand, leaf mold soil and garden soil to prepare your own. Be sure to disinfect before potting to avoid infection by diseases and insect pests.

2. Light

It is For plants that like light, whether they are ground plants or potted plants, they must ensure sufficient light. Ground plants should be planted in a plot with good sunlight, and potted plants should be placed in a sunny place. As long as they are blocked in time when there is strong light, they can be exposed to the sun at other times. Especially in winter, getting more sun will help you survive the winter.

3. Temperature

Suitable for it The growing temperature is between 20-28 degrees. Potted plant management should try to provide a suitable temperature, so that they will grow more vigorously. It is cold-resistant and can withstand temperatures as low as -13 degrees Celsius, but in northern areas it is still recommended to move it indoors or take timely measures to keep warm. When the temperature is high, provide more ventilation and sprinkle water frequently.

Four. Fertilization

It is Fertilizer is required during the growing season and before flowering. Apply more nitrogen fertilizer during the peak growing season to promote the growth of branches and leaves and make them luxuriant. Before flowering, you should stop applying nitrogen fertilizer and add more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. This will preserve and promote flowers, increase the number of flowers, and extend the flowering period. If there is a long-term lack of fertilizer, the plant growth will be weak and prone to yellowing, which will affect the viewing and growth.
