When autumn arrives, Huahua reckons on her fingers that it is time for the osmanthus blooming season. Osmanthus is no stranger to everyone, right? Seeing that the masters in palace dramas all like to eat this osmanthus cake, Huahua knows just how popular this osmanthus cake really is, right? In fact, even if not in ancient times, even now, osmanthus cake is deeply loved by everyone. Not to mention osmanthus itself. Some people like osmanthus so much that if there is none at their doorstep, they grow an osmanthus potted plant 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: mix river sand, garden soil and leaf mold 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 still pretty good. Everyone can adjust the soil ratio according to their own environment.

Flower pot

For growing potted osmanthus, it is best to choose an unglazed clay pot for planting. Unglazed clay pots have relatively good air permeability and will not smother the osmanthus during planting. Also, pay attention to choosing a suitable unglazed clay pot. Be sure not to have a big pot with a small flower, and do not have a small flower with a big pot, as this will affect the plant's growth.

Growing habits

Compared with other plants, the growing habits of osmanthus are relatively moderate. For watering, just remember to water when dry and let it dry out between waterings. Do not water too much, as this easily causes root rot, and do not water too little, as this will affect the quality of future osmanthus blooming.

In addition, basically by autumn and winter, osmanthus can receive all-day sunlight, but in summer you still need to pay attention 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. Potted plants cannot compare with osmanthus trees; they are not that strong, so it is still necessary to do a good job of keeping them warm.

Potting and repotting

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

The above is the summary Huahua has put together for everyone 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 makes Huahua very happy!

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