1、 Soil

It is not suitable for potted osmanthus to grow in alkaline soil. Before cultivation, the soil should be simply disinfected, so that during maintenance, the probability of plant damage by diseases and pests can be reduced

2、 Watering

Do not water it at a fixed frequency. Water it appropriately according to the wet state of the soil. It is best to wait for the basin soil to dry before watering. In summer, the plant needs more water, so it can be watered more appropriately; But in autumn and winter, we need to control the amount of watering, not too much. Rain shall be avoided in rainy season, and timely drainage shall be conducted after rain

3、 Illumination

It likes sunshine. For potted maintenance, it can be placed outdoors and receive sufficient sunshine every day. However, shade is needed in summer, otherwise it will affect flower bud differentiation. In addition, when the plant is in the seedling state, it should also avoid being directly exposed to the hot sun and properly accept the natural light in the morning and evening

4、 Treatment method of falling leaves

1. The leaf loss of Osmanthus fragrans is usually caused by incorrect watering method. If the daily watering amount is too large, the root system of the plant will be soaked in ponding for a long time, and the leaves will fall off. Loosen the soil properly and place it in a cool and ventilated place to let the water evaporate as quickly as possible

2. On the contrary, lack of water will also cause fallen leaves. It is necessary to gradually increase the amount of watering. The soil should be kept slightly wet and avoid being too dry
