How to grow Aglaia odorata? Learn the correct care methods

Aglaia odorata is a flower deeply loved by people because it gives off a fragrant scent when it blooms. It not only makes the air fresh, but we can also use Aglaia odorata to brew a pot of flower tea, so many flower growers keep a pot of Aglaia odorata at home. Many people think Aglaia odorata is not easy to keep alive, and that is because they have not mastered the methods for caring for it properly. So how should we care for Aglaia odorata? How can we make it produce beautiful flowers?

If we want to care for Aglaia odorata well, choosing the soil is very important. The Aglaia odorata we have just bought cannot be moved directly into potting soil. We need to leave it for 2~3 days before moving it into a pot, because the newly bought Aglaia odorata has not yet adapted to its surroundings.

We need to prepare potting soil suitable for the growth of Aglaia odorata. For small plants, we usually use leaf mold and granular soil, mixing them at a ratio of 1:2. This makes a loose, well-aerated soil. The nutrients in the soil are very limited, so fertilizing it is very necessary.

In spring, it needs to be fertilized once every week. In winter, it only needs to be fertilized once a month. We can use fermented animal manure to fertilize it. When fertilizing, we must master the method well. Once too much fertilizer is applied, it will cause excessive nutrients in Aglaia odorata and lead to yellowing leaves. Only correct fertilization can help it grow better.

There is a lot of attention to detail in how to water Aglaia odorata. In spring, when Aglaia odorata begins to grow, it should not be watered too much. In summer and autumn, we can water it every 3~4 days. In winter, when the weather is cold, it does not need much water, so if the potting soil is not dry, we do not need to water it.

A warm environment is what Aglaia odorata likes. We need to keep the indoor temperature above 25 degrees so it can grow faster and better. In winter, when the weather is cold, it needs to be kept warm so it can safely pass the winter.

Warm sunlight is what Aglaia odorata likes. We need to move it outdoors every day to get some sun, but in winter, when the weather is cold, we should try not to move it outdoors to avoid freezing damage. We should keep it in a sunny, well-ventilated place for care, such as near a balcony or windowsill. Sufficient sunlight can help Aglaia odorata grow better.

Spring is also the best time to prune Aglaia odorata. Before moving it outdoors, we can prune away its poor branches and excess branches to promote better growth. Many people say Aglaia odorata is not easy to keep alive because they have not mastered the methods well. As long as everyone can care for Aglaia odorata according to the methods introduced here, it can fill the pot with blooms and give off a charming fragrance.
