How to grow Aglaia odorata? Teach you the correct planting method

Aglaia odorata has many varieties, and growing it indoors also purifies the air, which is very good for people to breathe fresh air. This plant is mostly grown in southern or tropical places. Today let's share how to grow Aglaia odorata.

Maintain good performance of the potting soil

The root system of Aglaia odorata is very well developed, with many fibrous roots that are very fine. Therefore, the soil for Aglaia odorata must contain rich nutrients, and the old soil needs to be replaced in time, and excess rotten roots removed. Repotting is needed at least once every two years; for those growing particularly well, repot once a year.

Add an appropriate amount of plant ash and an appropriate amount of base fertilizer to the new soil, so that the potting soil both retains fertilizer and does not waterlog, that is, it is airy and has sufficient nutrients.

Water correctly and fertilize frequently

In spring, when Aglaia odorata begins to sprout, pay attention to watering; you can appropriately control water, which is the most critical part of "controlling branches to promote flowers." If watering is not well controlled when Aglaia odorata sprouts, it is very easy to cause leggy branches and leaves. The best method is to water again when the tender tips are slightly shriveled and drooping. During other growth periods, keep the potting soil in a slightly dry state and appropriately control nutrients. Promote the growth of branches and leaves.

Apply organic fertilizer 1~2 times a week, and when the flower buds have already opened, apply additional phosphorus fertilizer. After flowering, apply organic fertilizer once according to the size of the plant shape, to replenish the consumed nutrients and lay a good foundation for the next flowering. However, when fertilizing, water should also be appropriately controlled, with the limit being that the tender tips do not shrivel.

Light must be sufficient

Aglaia odorata likes light. An overly shady environment will cause leggy branches and leaves, fewer flowers, and even no fragrance, so Aglaia odorata must receive sufficient light. In an environment with sufficient light, the photosynthesis of the leaves is strong, the branches produced are short and sturdy, and the leaves are small, thick, green and shiny, promoting continuous differentiation of flower buds.

Pinch in time and thin out branches

Aglaia odorata has a very strong sprouting ability, with many tiller buds and adventitious buds. To ensure normal flowering, it is necessary to promptly cut off branches and leaves on the inner branches that are too dense, weak in growth, or too long, to reduce nutrient consumption. When a branch grows to 15~20 leaves, it should be pinched, which can promote more side branches. Timely pruning can also control the length of each branch, not only keeping the plant shape perfect, but also ensuring that each flowering is neat and beautiful.
