1. How to deal with newly bought osmanthus

When you just buy osmanthus, you need to check the condition of the plant first. If the plant has root rot and other diseased branches, you need to cut them off with scissors. Then soak them in clean water for 2-3 hours. After they have drunk enough water, dry them and put them in the pot.

2. How to cultivate the newly bought osmanthus

1. Light: It likes light, but when you first buy it, you need to put it in a cool place for a period of time, and then slowly give it light, and it needs to be given enough light time. It needs at least 8 hours of light a day during the flower bud differentiation period.

2. Watering: When it is just bought, it has not started to grow normally. At this time, you need to reduce the amount of watering as appropriate. You can then water it normally after it resumes growth. Under normal circumstances, you can water the plants once in the morning and evening every day in summer, once every 2-3 days in spring and autumn, and once every 5-7 days in winter to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.

3. Temperature: It likes a warm environment. When you first buy it, you need to keep it in an environment with a temperature of about 25°C, which will help it adapt to the new environment.

4. Fertilization: When you just buy it, you need to stop fertilizing. Since it is still in the slow potting stage, fertilization can easily lead to

Root burn. After it resumes normal growth, you can apply decomposed thin cake fertilizer water every 10 days after germination. Before flowering, you can change to applying phosphorus fertilizer, which will help it grow and bloom.
