1. How are osmanthus seedlings planted?
1. Treating the osmanthus seedlings
Osmanthus seedlings bought back should first have those with damaged roots or that are wilted removed, leaving the healthy ones for planting. If bought with a soil ball, they can be planted directly, and the straw rope does not need to be untied. If the osmanthus seedlings do not have a soil ball, rooting powder can be used to help them survive. First mix it with water according to the instructions for the rooting powder, then add some soil to make a mud slurry, soak the root hairs of the osmanthus seedlings in the prepared water for a few minutes, and then plant them directly in a suitable place.
2. Size of the planting hole
The planting hole should be at least 20 cm in diameter and depth, and it is better for the root part of the osmanthus sapling to be 5 cm lower than the ground surface.
After the osmanthus seedling is planted, the roots need to be closely combined with the soil, so the soil needs to be pressed down firmly.
3. Key points for watering
After planting the osmanthus seedling, water it thoroughly. If it has already rained in the two days before planting and the soil is still relatively moist, then no additional watering is needed. If there has been no rain, the soil needs to be kept moist.
It is worth noting that osmanthus seedlings should not be watered over a long period or watered too much, because they are very afraid of waterlogging. Too much waterlogging will prevent the roots from respiring and cause root rot, and in severe cases will cause the osmanthus seedlings to die.
4. Key points for fertilizing
Within half a year after the osmanthus seedlings are planted, additional fertilizing is generally not needed, because the base fertilizer is already enough to support their growth. If the subsequent growth rate is fast, then by the flowering period of the osmanthus, additional topdressing is needed.
5. Temperature requirements
Planting osmanthus seedlings in different places has different temperature requirements, so protective measures for the osmanthus seedlings should be taken according to the weather characteristics. If the temperature is too low, heat preservation treatment should be carried out; if the temperature is too high, attention should be paid to shading and cooling.
