The four-season osmanthus has now entered its summer flowering period, so it needs to be given enough nutrients. You can buy some dried granular animal manure that is rich in phosphorus and potassium, then dig small holes around the edge of the flower pot, drop a few dried granules into each hole, cover them back up with soil, and water it thoroughly. Applying it about once every half a month is enough to let it produce more flower buds.

You can also spray its leaves with a diluted potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution about once a week, which can make its leaves more emerald green, speed up photosynthesis and promote growth.

The four-season osmanthus likes a warm and humid environment, and its root system is very developed. Summer is rather dry, so you can keep the potting soil slightly moist, which is more favorable for its absorption. Whenever you see signs of the potting soil turning pale, water it thoroughly. You can spray water on the leaves 2-3 times a day to increase humidity and make the leaves more glossy.

The four-season osmanthus is weakly heliophilous and likes light, but it is not tolerant of strong sun, so giving it appropriate shade in summer can prevent yellow leaf tips and curling.

You should prune the four-season osmanthus at irregular intervals, cutting away all thin and small branches, old branches, inner branches and branches without flower buds, to reduce unnecessary consumption of nutrients and concentrate the supply, so it produces more buds and blooms more flowers.
