What kind of soil is suitable for planting osmanthus

Osmanthus Introduction

Osmanthus can grow in ordinary soil and is not very demanding on the soil, but it grows best in slightly acidic sandy soil that is deep, loose, fertile, well-drained.

The soil suitable for growing osmanthus needs to be loose, permeable, and well-drained. Water cannot accumulate in the soil. When the soil is too sticky, a certain proportion of river sand or other hydrophobic media must be added.

What soil is used to grow osmanthus

Osmanthus likes to grow in places with plenty of sunlight, good drainage and thick soil. The soil should be slightly acidic, PH5.5-6.5, avoid alkaline soil, and be afraid of stagnant water and coal smoke. It needs to be potted in the north.

When planting osmanthus trees as street trees, you should choose better soil and nutrient soil on it. All the surrounding stones should be cleared away. This way, the nutrient soil can allow the osmanthus trees to absorb more nutrients and have a higher survival rate.

Osmanthus trees like to grow in slightly acidic soil. Before planting in farmland, check whether there are pests in the soil. If the soil is black soil, it is very good, with high nutrition and easy to absorb, which is very conducive to the growth of osmanthus.

Preparation of osmanthus nutrient soil

When potting osmanthus, the nutrient soil is mainly compost, using waste materials such as leaves and weeds as the main raw materials, adding horse, pig and sheep manure, and then adding water and soil to pile it up. It is then collected after being exposed to the sun in summer, which is more suitable for planting osmanthus seedlings.
