The editor below introduces the methods for caring for osmanthus during the winter-spring transition. I hope everyone likes it.

Cold damage to osmanthus in winter and spring

Osmanthus (Osmanthus fragrans) is a plant that likes warmth and light. It affects the growth of osmanthus in cold environments, causing the leaves to turn yellow, fail to bloom, and even stop growing.

During the winter-spring transition, because the temperature is still relatively low, it can also freeze the osmanthus.

First, the osmanthus is transplanted outside too early, and cold air strikes, causing the cold-tolerant osmanthus to be frozen to death and gradually die.

Second, even if it is still maintained indoors, it cannot provide enough light. The insufficient temperature required for osmanthus growth leads to frostbite.

The last point may be placing the osmanthus in a corridor, or keeping it at the doorway. These places also suffer from cold air, which can cause frostbite or freezing to death.

Protection of osmanthus from freezing damage in winter and spring

Osmanthus likes a warm and humid environment. The growth and flowering of osmanthus require the most suitable humidity. Therefore, osmanthus needs high water content, and enough water needs to be poured from the seedling stage.

During the winter-spring transition, it is necessary to take sufficient insulation measures for the growth of osmanthus. First, the winter temperature drops, and the winter is long. Therefore, in order to prevent frostbite of the osmanthus, place the osmanthus indoors for maintenance. When it gets close to spring, the temperature is not completely warm, so do not rush to move the osmanthus outdoors; still continue to keep it indoors and maintain it indoors.

Second, when indoors, give the osmanthus sufficient light, at least 5 to 6 hours of sunlight every day. If the room is too cold, you can leave a few ventilation holes in plastic film to wrap the osmanthus crown, to ensure a warm environment so that the osmanthus is not easily damaged.

If a frozen area is found, the frozen branches should be cut off, and after cutting they should be trimmed. Then apply fertilizer to increase nutrients, which is beneficial to the sprouting of the osmanthus.
