Keep one pot of this flower at home, and when it blooms, the whole yard is filled with fragrance; it is the most suitable for making pastries.

When autumn arrives, Huahua calculates on her fingers that it is time for the osmanthus flowering season. Everyone is familiar with osmanthus, right? Huahua saw that the masters in palace dramas all like to eat this osmanthus cake, so you know just how popular this osmanthus cake really is, right?

In fact, even if it is not in ancient times, even now, osmanthus cake is deeply loved by everyone. Osmanthus itself goes without saying; some people like osmanthus, and if there is none at their doorstep, they grow a potted osmanthus at home. That is true love!

Potted osmanthus is still somewhat different from osmanthus, so today Huahua will tell everyone how to grow this potted osmanthus.

Potting soil

When choosing soil, try to choose relatively high-quality soil. For example: river sand, garden soil and leaf mold mixed in a ratio of 1:5:4. This mixing ratio not only ensures that the soil is rich in nutrients, but also ensures the soil's air permeability, and the pH is also moderate. The effect is quite good, and everyone can adjust the soil ratio according to their own environment.

Flower pot

To grow potted osmanthus, it is best to choose a clay pot for planting. Clay pots have relatively better air permeability, and when planting, they will not smother the osmanthus. Also, be careful to choose a suitable clay pot; definitely do not use a big pot for a small plant, and do not use a small pot for a big plant, as it will affect the plant's growth.

Growth habits

Compared with other plants, the growth habits of osmanthus are relatively moderate. For watering, note that it is enough to water when dry and stop when wet; do not water too much, as this easily causes root rot, and do not water too little, as it will affect the flowering quality of the osmanthus in the future.

In addition, basically by autumn and winter, osmanthus can receive all-day sunlight, but in summer, attention should still be paid to shading to prevent the branches and leaves from becoming too dry, which is not good for the growth of osmanthus.

In winter, it is best to keep osmanthus indoors for growing. Potted plants cannot compare with osmanthus trees; they are not that strong, so it is still necessary to take good measures to keep them warm.

Potting and repotting

For osmanthus, osmanthus grows relatively fast and easily grows new branches and leaves. When osmanthus has just been potted, observe its form carefully to prevent any unsuitable signs. After osmanthus gradually stabilizes and begins to grow vigorously, we generally need to repot the potted osmanthus about once a year. Larger potted osmanthus is not very easy to repot, so repotting about once every three or four years is also fine.

The above is what Huahua has summarized about growing osmanthus. I hope it is helpful to friends who like osmanthus and want to grow potted osmanthus. Even a little bit of help will make Huahua very happy!

When the osmanthus blooms, the whole yard is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus. It smells so good that your mood can't be better. Once you have collected enough osmanthus, you can try making osmanthus cake!
