Can the osmanthus tree be placed in the bedroom?

1. Can it be placed in the bedroom?

If you want to place a plant in the bedroom, Osmanthus fragrans is not the right choice. Although Osmanthus fragrans is a non-toxic plant, the fragrance it emits is very strong. If you smell the fragrance for a long time, it can easily irritate your sense of smell, which will have the opposite effect. Because we need a quiet and peaceful environment when we sleep, it is best not to grow Osmanthus fragrans in the bedroom. However, you can plant Osmanthus fragrans on the balcony or in the living room. Although people will still breathe in some of the fragrance of Osmanthus fragrans, the amount they breathe in will not be as much as at night.

Another reason why it is not suitable to be grown in the bedroom is that there is insufficient light in the bedroom. If the sweet olive is in an environment with insufficient light for a long time, its leaves will easily turn yellow and it may not bloom, which will greatly hinder its normal growth.

2. Growth Preferences

If you want to grow Osmanthus fragrans at home, you must know how to grow it.

1. Growth environment

Osmanthus fragrans likes a warm environment and is not cold-resistant at all. The best growing environment is around 25 degrees Celsius. If it is winter, do not place the sweet olive on the balcony, but move it indoors for cultivation.

2. Sunshine Management

Osmanthus fragrans likes an environment with good light and air circulation. Osmanthus fragrans has very high requirements for sunlight. It needs about five hours of sunlight a day so that it can grow more vigorously. Generally, you can place the Osmanthus fragrans in a sunny place when it is blooming. You can continue to place it in a sunny place after the flowers fall. This will make the branches that grow stronger and the flowers that bloom will be larger and more fragrant.

3. Soil

Osmanthus fragrans likes soil rich in organic matter, and it must be permeable and breathable.

4. Water management

Although Osmanthus fragrans is very drought-resistant, it does not mean that it does not need to be watered frequently. You can water it when you see the soil in the pot is dry to keep it moist. Do not water the pot too much to avoid water accumulation, which can easily cause root rot.

It seems that Osmanthus fragrans is not suitable for being placed in the bedroom. It can be placed indoors or on the balcony. If you follow the correct cultivation methods, your home will be filled with pleasant fragrance.
