Some osmanthus trees, such as osmanthus fragrans, osmanthus fragrans, etc., are short and delicate, suitable for raising on balconies and terraces, and suitable for family farming. You can plant a potted osmanthus tree without a yard. As long as you keep it, it will still bloom every year, full of buds and fragrant flowers.
How did the potted osmanthus plants grow like that at home? How to make osmanthus trees grow and develop successfully, with more lush branches and more blooming in autumn?
To plant osmanthus potted plants, we must do the following. It's actually quite simple. Because osmanthus trees, like roses, are as resistant to low temperature, more resistant to sunlight, less delicate, and very strong, which is good for raising green plants. To make our osmanthus potted plants flourish, we must pay attention to the following points:
1, bonsai soil has a good natural environment.
Because osmanthus trees prefer acidic soil to acidic soil, the optimum PH value is 6.5, and the soil layer should be loose and fertile, so it is not easy to agglomerate and store water. You can use half humus soil, part culture soil, a little sand and a little organic fertilizer to raise osmanthus, which will make osmanthus grow stronger.
Potted flowerpots can be planted with purple sand pots, or plastic washbasins and flowerpots to prevent the use of pots with insufficient breathable drainage pipes. At the same time, the aperture of potted flower pots should not be too small.
2. How to fertilize and water potted osmanthus?
Osmanthus fragrans is a kind of plant and flower that likes humidity but is afraid of storing water. When the temperature is high in autumn, spring and summer, the bonsai soil is always moist and watered immediately, but the bonsai soil can't store water. Long-term storage of water can also lead to rotten roots and yellow leaves.
It may even cause plants to hang upside down, so it is most appropriate to sprinkle water once a day in summer and once a week or two in winter to keep the soil slightly wet. When it rains, the water in the bonsai soil is not allowed to stay for too long.
At the top level of topdressing, it must be remembered that it is a flower that loves fertilizer. Therefore, in the case of cooking, we should put some base fertilizer. After germination in spring, make it into organic fertilizer and let it sprout more new branches. Before flowering, we need to supplement phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote it, promote the establishment and flowering of flowers, and make it bloom in large numbers.
Sunlight exposure is very important
Osmanthus fragrans is a green plant that likes plenty of sunshine and can be kept in a cool place. Without sunshine, it will not grow well.
Therefore, we must plant osmanthus potted plants in the place with the most sunshine and good natural ventilation at home, so that it can receive sufficient sunshine. Only through photosynthesis, its leaves will be greener, its branches will flourish, it will blossom in large numbers and its fragrance will dance.
Osmanthus potted plants also need pruning. Buds must be pruned before they sprout in spring. At the same time, after the flowering period, some flourishing branches or some new branches should be pruned. Keep the plant form perfect and compact.
Raising a osmanthus tree indoors, using this method to raise osmanthus bonsai and potted osmanthus, can make its petals more lush, bloom in large numbers, have a strong smell, make people feel deeply, and the plants look more and more beautiful.
