Not only is its flower language inspiring, Aglaia odorata also has high ornamental value, and it can purify the air and beautify the room, making it very suitable for home potting. So how do you grow Aglaia odorata?

  When planting Aglaia odorata, you need to put 3-5 cm of coarse sand or charcoal powder on the pot saucer to aid drainage, then cover it with a layer of growing medium, plant the young seedling in the pot and firm the soil, and after potting is complete, water it thoroughly once. Next, let's look at how potted Aglaia odorata is grown.

  1. Light

  Aglaia odorata likes light, so try to ensure it receives 8 hours of light every day. Normally it should be kept in a ventilated, well-lit, sunny environment, and even in summer it should be given full light.

  2. Temperature

  Aglaia odorata likes to grow in a warm environment. When the temperature is constant at around 30°C, it will grow lush branches and leaves, bloom profusely, and have a strong fragrance. In winter, when the temperature is too low, you need to add warmth-keeping measures.

  3. Watering

  Besides liking light and a warm environment, Aglaia odorata grows better in moist soil. Insufficient pot soil moisture can cause yellow leaves or bud drop. It is recommended to water once a day in summer, and additionally spray the leaves with water two or three times.

  4. Fertilizing

  Because Aglaia odorata blooms a lot, it has a relatively large demand for nutrients. If the nutrient supply is insufficient, flowering will be affected. In spring and summer, to promote bud formation and more flowering, it is usually mainly sprayed with a dilute liquid fertilizer containing nitrogen and phosphorus.

  5. Pruning

  To keep the plant in good shape, you should properly prune away excess, overly dense branches and leaves that are not conducive to the tree shape. At the same time, to promote more flowering, you also need to cut off dead branches and crossing branches to improve ventilation and light penetration, promote photosynthesis, and sprout more side branches capable of flowering.

  6. Repotting

  Potted Aglaia odorata generally needs to be repotted once every 2 years. The timing of repotting is decided according to the ambient temperature, usually in March of spring. Repotting is mostly done one week after Aglaia odorata is moved outdoors for care.
