1、 Breeding method

1. Soil

If it is a potted plant, you can use rotten leaves mixed with garden soil and fine sand as culture soil to plant it on cloudy or rainy days in spring and autumn. After planting, it can be placed in the area with wind and good water permeability. It can have sufficient light or astigmatism

2. Temperature

If you are in the south, you can spend the cold winter directly in the open air. In other places, you should move it to a place with plenty of sunshine in the house in winter and let it be directly exposed to the sun. The temperature in the house should be more than five degrees, but not more than ten degrees. When it sprouts in the spring of the next year, it will be placed in the windless and light area outside the house, and then slowly move to the windy area

3. Watering

Before the new branches grow out, water less, don't water in rainy days, and water more in summer and autumn. If the flowers grow too wet in autumn, it is easy to cause the flowers to wither. In rainy weather, pay attention to whether the accumulated water in the basin is discharged smoothly, otherwise the root system will rot after a long time

4. Topdressing

After germination in spring, it should be diluted with fermented fertilizer and water every ten days or so, not too thick, which can help the growth of branches and buds. Until July, we should focus on phosphate fertilizer to help it grow more flowers and taste more fragrant. If phosphorus is not enough, it will not only grow less flowers, but also smell bad

5. Pruning

Its root system is relatively developed, and the adult golden osmanthus grows new branches every spring and autumn. To make its branches and leaves dense, prune it. After the flowers wither in autumn, cut off the too dense ones and the thin ones that are sick according to its growth trend

2、 Precautions

1. If you don't replace it with new pots and soil for a long time, its nutrition will not be enough, and its roots can't stretch out, which will affect the growth of flowers. So we should change the basin every one to two years

2. It doesn't like smoke. It can't grow in a place with unclean air. In this way, it won't grow well, the leaves will become smaller, and it's easy to lose leaves, no flowers or a small number
