How to raise osmanthus

1. Like slightly acidic soil

Osmanthus fragrans cultivated in northern areas are generally alkaline. Osmanthus fragrans cannot grow well in such soil

Therefore, add 2 ~ 3 drops of vinegar every time you water Osmanthus fragrans

The proportion of ferrous sulfate will be 1000:1 / 2 once a month

2. I like high temperature and dry environment

When watering Osmanthus fragrans, we must pay attention to the principle of "more than two and less". We should water less before sprouting, less in rainy days, and more in summer and autumn drought. The usual watering principle is to keep the soil moist. You have to water once in about 3 ~ 5 days

3. Enough fertilizer can blossom more

After sprouting in spring, fully decomposed thin cake, fertilizer, water or pig manure once every 10 days

After July, it is best to replace fertilizer with compound organic fertilizer

At the beginning of September, the last fertilizer application should be mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, which can be fully decomposed fish and shrimp shells, egg shells and so on

4. It is easy to soak the cut of cuttings in carbendazim for 20 ~ 30 minutes for disinfection

5. Just insert the branches into the matrix. Remember to cover a layer of water retaining film with perlite to avoid rapid evaporation of water
