Watering method for osmanthus during flowering period

Osmanthus will consume a certain amount of water when it blooms, so it needs to be watered in time to meet the growth of the plant. When watering, water when the soil is dry. If the soil is not dry, you don’t need to water. You can use rainwater, river water or tap water for watering. Tap water needs to be dried in advance before use.

1. Watering in the morning: During the flowering period of osmanthus, the most suitable time to water is before 10 am. In addition, when watering, you should also pay attention to the temperature of the water. It is best to be similar to the temperature of the day, so that the plant will absorb water faster.

2. Watering in the afternoon: Generally, you can water the osmanthus once after 4 pm. You don’t need to use a lot of water, as long as the soil is moist. In addition, you can loosen the soil in the pot after watering to facilitate better absorption by the roots.

2. Maintain humidity: When watering osmanthus during the flowering period, just make sure the soil is moist. Do not allow water to accumulate, otherwise the roots will rot.

Fertilization during the flowering period of osmanthus

Osmanthus cannot be fertilized during its flowering period, but it can be fertilized before flowering. Generally, some phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer can be applied when fertilizing, and a small amount of nitrogen fertilizer should be applied. This can promote the differentiation of flower buds and allow osmanthus to bloom better.
