What kind of soil does osmanthus like?

1. What kind of soil do you like?

Osmanthus has very good vitality, so the requirements for cultivation soil are very low, as long as the soil is not too sticky or alkaline, it can be used. It grows best in loose, well-drained and slightly acidic soil, and using such soil will help it grow better. It also likes soil with better air permeability, because this kind of soil allows its roots to breathe normally and the root system will be more developed.

2. Soil preparation method

When preparing the soil, you can mix leaf mold, garden soil and river sand in a ratio of 5:4:3, or you can replace the leaf mold with peat soil. Some flower lovers think that preparing soil is very troublesome. In fact, you can also buy nutrient soil, which is not only convenient but also very safe. Because there may be some bacteria or pathogens in the soil you prepare yourself. If it is not disinfected properly, it may affect the roots of the plants.

3. Notes

1. Soil compaction is not conducive to the growth of osmanthus, so you should do a good job of turning the soil at ordinary times. If the soil is severely compacted, you need to replace the soil.

2. Disinfection of soil should not be neglected before using it, especially when raising it at home. It is best to spread the soil in the sun and expose it to the sun.
