How to water osmanthus during flowering period, and management matters during osmanthus flowering period

1. Watering method

The watering methods during the flowering period are divided into before flowering and after flowering. Before flowering is the differentiation stage of flower buds, and the amount of water consumed at this time will naturally be more. Water and spray frequently to maintain humidity, but be careful not to make it too humid, just make up for the required moisture. Try not to get wet in the rain. If you get wet in the rain, drain the water in time and make sure there is no stagnant water. After flowering, the amount of water should be reduced. If the soil is not dry, do not water it first. Otherwise, it will easily cause the branches and leaves to grow too long, which will affect flowering and the flowers will fall prematurely.

2. Flowering period management matters

1. Light: Although it is a plant that likes light, the light should be reduced appropriately after flowering, especially direct light. It is recommended to move it to a dim or shady place so that the flowering period can be extended. If there is too much light, the flowers will easily fall off.

2. Fertilization: Fertilize in time before flowering, reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizer, and appropriately increase phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer. These two types of fertilizers will promote the differentiation of flower buds and facilitate flowering. However, you should stop fertilizing after flowering. Otherwise, sufficient nutrients will promote the growth of branches and leaves, causing the flowers to fall prematurely and affecting flowering. It is recommended to apply fertilizer once after the flowers fall to replenish the nutrients consumed, which is also beneficial for wintering.
