Is a non-fragrant Aglaia odorata a fake one? The real reason is here

Most Aglaia odorata are potted, and when potting it is best to keep the roots and soil ball intact; of the four seasons, only winter is unsuitable for repotting. After Aglaia odorata blooms, its fragrance is very rich and lingers for a long time, yet some flower growers report that their cultivated Aglaia odorata has no scent after blooming. What is going on? Flowers need sunlight, and of course fertilizer and water are also necessary, so the lack of fragrance in the Aglaia odorata you grow may be due to insufficient light or insufficient water and fertilizer. Now, for each cause of odorless Aglaia odorata flowers, we have summarized the corresponding countermeasures.

First, temperature control.

Aglaia odorata likes a warm environment; the higher the ambient temperature, the more intense the fragrance of the flowers it produces. Generally speaking, when the ambient temperature is in the twenties (°C), under sufficient sunlight, the flowers produced are the most fragrant; under the same temperature conditions, when placed in a spot with diffused light, the flowers produced are not as fragrant as when the temperature is high. To grow Aglaia odorata well, keeping the temperature in the twenties (°C) is most suitable. Summer temperatures are relatively high, so Aglaia odorata can bloom as many as five times.

Second, light must be sufficient.

If Aglaia odorata is placed in a full-light environment with good ventilation, such as on a balcony or in a courtyard, and is guaranteed more than eight hours of light per day, its leaves will be a deeper green, its branches will grow more robustly, the number of flowers will gradually increase, the flower color will become more golden yellow, and the fragrance will naturally become more intense. If it is placed in a dark environment, Aglaia odorata will become leggy, the number of flowers will decrease noticeably, and it is only natural that no fragrance can be smelled.

Third, water and fertilizer must be reasonable.

After each bloom, remember to fertilize Aglaia odorata. Insufficient fertilizer will affect the number and frequency of its blooms; the flowers will lose their fragrance, and it may even show signs of growing leaves for a long time without blooming. Therefore, during the flowering period of Aglaia odorata, applying some fertilizer reasonably can not only make it grow more robustly, but also increase the number of flowers and make the fragrance more intense.

Fourth, watering must be timely.

How many times a day to water Aglaia odorata depends on how large the plant is, changes in the weather, and where it is placed; watering must not only be moderate but also timely. After applying fertilizer, water promptly, so that the flowers produced will have fragrance. Summer is the vigorous growth period for Aglaia odorata, so the water it needs to replenish is relatively greater, so sufficient water must be replenished in time.
