The osmanthus tree is evergreen all year round, with luxuriant branches and leaves. Its flowering season is in autumn, and it can be called "dominating the three autumns and outshining all flowers." It is widely used in gardens, often as a landscape tree, sometimes planted alone and sometimes planted in pairs. Through continuous artificial cultivation, osmanthus trees now roughly include several types: Dan Gui (orange osmanthus), Jin Gui (golden osmanthus), Yin Gui (silver osmanthus), and Siji Gui (four-season osmanthus). Dan Gui, Jin Gui, and Yin Gui all bloom in autumn and can also be collectively called August osmanthus.
The care techniques for osmanthus trees are in summer. Newly planted osmanthus trees should be watered thoroughly. During the flowering period in mid-September, they should be watered appropriately to keep the soil moist. The principle should be applying thin fertilizer frequently, mainly with quick-acting nitrogen fertilizer, pruning reasonably, strengthening photosynthesis, and reducing pests and diseases.

When watering potted osmanthus, follow the principle of not watering if the soil is not dry, and watering thoroughly when you do water. In summer, temperatures are high, so the amount of watering should be greater. When the temperature is above 25 degrees, water once every afternoon. When osmanthus is blooming, maintain moist conditions in both the soil and the air, and at the same time spray more water on the leaves to increase the relative air humidity.
The precautions for potted osmanthus are: first, choose slightly acidic soil; at the same time, water at the right time, and grasp the principle of "two less and one more"; skillfully apply supplementary fertilizer, applying fully decomposed diluted cake fertilizer water once every 10 days in spring, applying diluted decomposed chicken and duck manure water or fish waste water after July, and applying a liquid fertilizer mainly based on phosphorus fertilizer once in early September; prune appropriately.
