Add some "it" to the sweet-scented osmanthus potted plants, and the buds will keep sprouting, and the whole garden will be filled with the sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance

If we were to ask which flower is blooming most abundantly right now, it would definitely be osmanthus. The pale yellow flowers of osmanthus are hanging on the branches, and the fragrance can spread ten miles away. Smelling the fragrance makes me feel a lot more relaxed. But it should have been the season for osmanthus flowers to bloom, but the osmanthus flowers in Huahua's house were not blooming at all, and no one knew what went wrong. After consulting flower lovers, I learned that actually the maintenance of osmanthus does require skills.

1. The soil should be suitable

When caring for osmanthus at home, it is usually potted osmanthus, and the soil requirements will be higher at this time. Potted osmanthus generally prefers slightly acidic soil. We can use ordinary leaf mold to grow it, but it is best to add some sulfur powder to the soil to ensure the acidity of the soil. If you choose the right soil, the growth of osmanthus will not be a problem.

2. Watering should be appropriate

The growing season of osmanthus is concentrated in the summer. It likes to grow in a high temperature and dry environment. Therefore, when watering, be sure to water it in moderation and do not water it too much to cause water accumulation. Pay special attention to watering less when new buds are sprouting, and also water less when it rains and is cloudy. You can add more water when the temperature is high in summer and the soil in the pot is dry. It is best to water osmanthus in the early morning and evening. The temperature is lower at these times, so water will naturally penetrate more fully.

3. Adequate lighting

Osmanthus likes to grow in plenty of sunlight. Since it used to grow outdoors, there is no need to worry about light issues. When we maintain osmanthus potted plants at home, we must pay attention to giving it sufficient light. Generally, during the seedling stage, the sunlight can be mainly scattered light. When the growing season comes, if the light is not sufficient, the leaves will fall and the flowers will not bloom, so you must pay attention to the placement of the potted plants at home.

4. Apply thin fertilizer frequently

Potted osmanthus prefers organic fertilizer when growing. When the branches are just sprouting in the spring, be sure to apply thin fertilizer containing nitrogen frequently, so that good development in the early stage will lead to vigorous growth in the later stage. Applying some compound fertilizer in summer can accelerate the growth of seedlings and help osmanthus bloom.

5. Keep branches pruned regularly

We all know that pruning branches can make flower plants grow more vigorously, and the same is true for osmanthus. Generally, the pruning of potted osmanthus branches is concentrated in spring and autumn. In spring, diseased and rotten branches are pruned away, and in autumn, overly long branches are pruned away. This can ensure that the branches receive nutrients evenly and grow faster.

If the osmanthus flowers in your home do not bloom in the golden autumn season, you may consider whether there is a problem in these 5 aspects. If there is a better way to promote the flowering of osmanthus, please leave a message in the comment section and share it with Huahua!
