How to grow Daphne odora

1. Increase lighting

Osmanthus fragrans needs sufficient sunlight to metabolize normally. In early spring, it can be placed in a bright place to allow it to receive sunlight all day. The sunlight at this time is not strong and can meet its needs. The sun is relatively strong in late spring, especially at noon, so you need to move it to a cool place to avoid the sun.

2. Adjust the temperature

The climate in spring is unstable and the temperature fluctuates greatly. It is best not to maintain the plants outdoors. The temperature outdoors cannot be controlled and you may get frostbite even if you take good warming measures. When caring for it indoors, you should pay attention to adjusting the room temperature. The highest should not exceed 25 degrees and the lowest should not be lower than 10 degrees. It can grow normally within this temperature range.

3. Control watering

There is a waxy layer on the surface of its leaves, and the amount of water evaporation is not large. Although spring is the growing season, the demand for water is not great. When watering it, you should follow the watering method of watering when the soil is dry and wet. When watering, you should water the soil thoroughly so that the soil is completely moist. However, there should not be water accumulation in the soil, as water accumulation will cause its roots to rot.

4. Increase fertilization

The plant likes fertilizer, but not concentrated fertilizer, so it should be supplemented with nutrients according to the method of "using light fertilizer and increasing the number of fertilizations". Fertilizers with mild effects should be selected and should be diluted before use. In addition to chemical fertilizers, you can also choose to use natural fertilizers such as homemade compost, animal manure, bone meal, etc., and use them once or twice a month.
