To raise osmanthus trees, you need to provide loose and fertile soil. You can mix leaf humus soil, garden soil, sand soil and cake fertilizer in a ratio of 2:3:3:2 to prepare a substrate suitable for growth. Provide adequate light every day, but avoid exposure to the sun. Do not water too much and wait until the soil is dry before watering again. Apply liquid fertilizer every half month during the growth period to facilitate its growth. In addition, proper pruning is required and attention should be paid to keeping warm in winter.

1. Breeding methods

1. Soil: Osmanthus trees are suitable for growing in loose and fertile soil. It can be prepared by mixing leaf mold soil, garden soil, sandy soil and cake fertilizer in a ratio of 2:3:3:2. This not only provides certain nutrients, but also has good drainage.

2. Light: Osmanthus trees prefer light. Therefore, it should be placed in a sunny place to receive sufficient light. However, proper shade should be provided in summer to avoid exposure to strong light. See more light before flowering to facilitate the differentiation of flower buds.

3. Watering: Osmanthus trees are relatively sensitive to moisture. Generally, water should be replenished in time after the soil surface dries. Watering should be done thoroughly, but there should be no stagnant water.

4. Fertilization: Osmanthus trees need supplementary fertilizer during the growth period. Liquid fertilizer is usually applied once every half a month, which will allow it to grow better. In addition, apply a little phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before and after flowering to supplement nutrients for it.

2. Precautions

1 . Proper pruning: The branches of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree should be pruned regularly. Cut off all old branches, dead branches, and weak branches, and remove the remaining flowers after they bloom. If the branches and leaves are too dense, affecting the internal ventilation and light transmission, you should also cut off the long branches, cross branches, overlapping branches, etc.

2. Overwintering in the north: Since osmanthus trees are not suitable for growing in low temperature environments, you must pay attention to keeping warm when spending the winter in the north. Before winter begins, add antifreeze water and wrap the tree trunks with newspapers, so there is no problem in spending the winter in the open air.
