How to grow Daphne koreana in autumn

1. Autumn maintenance is very important

Autumn is a special period for Daphne koreana, as it is the critical period for the formation of flower buds. Therefore, there are many factors that need to be paid attention to, otherwise it will affect the quality of its flowering.

2. How to maintain

1. Water: When autumn just begins, you must first control the water intake. This can appropriately inhibit the growth of branches and leaves, reduce nutrient consumption, and promote the formation of flower buds. After the flower buds are formed, resume watering to ensure the soil is moist.

2. Fertilizer: Fertilizer is similar to water. Fertilizer should be stopped in autumn to inhibit the growth of branches and leaves. Once flower buds form, you can use some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.

3. Light: Daphne osmanthus itself prefers semi-shade, but in order to promote the development of flower buds, good scattered light should be provided, so that the flowers will be more beautiful.

4. Temperature: Keep it warm, which is conducive to the growth of flower buds, especially in late autumn.

5. Pruning: Pruning can be done once after flowering. The main task is to cut off the withered flowers, and at the same time, the messy, overgrown, and crossed branches can be cut off.

6. Repotting: Repotting, like pruning, can be done after the flowers have faded. However, it does not need to be replaced every year, generally once every two or three years is enough. Replace about two-thirds of the old soil with new soil and trim the roots.
