The osmanthus tree is evergreen in all seasons, the flowers are full of fragrance, refreshing people's hearts, not only can smell the flowers, enjoy the flowers, but also make flower tea, make snacks, so love people's love. However, some people raise potted osmanthus trees always appear dry leaves, yellow leaves and leaf loss, this is because of the lack of mastery of the osmanthus tree maintenance skills caused, today I will share with you a few osmanthus tree breeding methods and precautions, I hope to help flower friends in need.
1. Soil: The adaptability of osmanthus trees is very strong, and the requirements for soil are not high, but family potted plants are different from ground planting, and it is best to choose nutrient soil that is convenient for maintenance and management, because the nutrient soil is loose and fertile, breathable and permeable are very good, not easy to compact, and more conducive to the growth of plant roots.
2. Light: The osmanthus tree is a sun-loving plant, and sufficient light can make it grow vigorously and produce fragrant flowers. Early spring, late autumn and winter are softer and can be maintained in full sunshine, and the rest of the time should be cultivated in a ventilated location with scattered light.
Precautions: Osmanthus trees will have a large area of yellow leaves, dead leaves, no flowering and even dead seedlings due to lack of light.
3. Watering: Watering osmanthus trees should follow the watering principle of seeing dry and wet. Observe the condition of the potting soil before watering, and if you find that the surface of the potting soil has turned white, you should water it immediately, and do not wait until the potting soil is dry before watering, in case the leaves are dry and sharp due to lack of water.
Precautions: Do not water too much when watering, the correct way is to water slowly and make sure that all roots are absorbing enough water until water leaks from the bottom of the pot.
Fourth, fertilization: spring and autumn is the vigorous growth period of osmanthus trees, watering nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium balanced compound fertilizer when it grows branches and leaves, in its flowering period, applying high phosphorus and high potassium fertilizer to promote its flower bud differentiation, comparing potassium dihydrogen phosphate, spraying leaves and watering roots in a ratio of 1:1000, watering once a week. In winter, the osmanthus tree grows slowly, we can apply some organic fertilizer to it, organic fertilizer does not hurt the roots and does not burn the seedlings, but also can increase the organic matter content of the soil, effectively preventing soil compaction. Dry cow and sheep manure can be applied once a month, and buried in the soil along the edge of the pot.
Fifth, change the potting soil: usually buy home from the market osmanthus trees are mostly planted with garden soil, this kind of soil is more difficult to maintain at home, because the garden soil is easy to compact, air permeability and water permeability are not good, is not conducive to the growth of plant roots, so it is recommended to change the pot and change the soil.
Preparation of materials: vats, nutrient soil, volcanic stones, carbendazim, rooting liquid, suitable flower pots, watering cans, small scissors.
Specific operation: First of all, soak the osmanthus tree in a large bucket and soak until the original soil is soft.
Secondly, carefully remove the soil on the periphery of the roots, pay attention to keep the protective soil, and do not remove all the soil from the roots to prevent injury to the roots.
Third, use small scissors to prune off the blackened and excessively long roots.
Fourth, first lay a layer of volcanic stone at the bottom of the pot to increase the permeability of the soil, then spread a layer of nutrient soil, then plant the pruned osmanthus tree into it, then fill it with nutrient soil, and finally compact the soil.
Fifth, add carbendazim and rooting solution to the watering can to water the newly planted osmanthus trees.
Finally, leave it in a cool and ventilated place for 3 to 5 days, then gradually increase the scattered light, and if you find dry tips in the leaves within a week, you can prune off a third of the leaves to prevent dehydration.
Precautions: 1. Do not fertilize the new osmanthus tree in the pot, because the new root system has not yet grown, and it is easy to die seedlings.
2. It is not recommended to change the pot immediately when the osmanthus tree is bought home, and it should be given 10 days to half a month to adapt to the adaptation period, and it can only be repotted after it adapts to the growth environment at home.
6. Pruning: In the bud period of the osmanthus tree, prune off the branches without flower buds, so that the nutrients are concentrated on the branches with flower budsAfter the flowers have withered, prune yellow leaves, dead leaves, weak branches, and branches that have grown too tall and too long.
Precautions: The osmanthus tree is not a deciduous plant, and its pruning can only be lightly pruned, and it should not be re-pruned to prevent its growth from being affected.
7. Winter skills: Osmanthus trees are not tolerant to severe cold, when the temperature is lower than 5 degrees, in order to prevent frostbite, it should be moved indoors for winter, especially flower friends in the north.
Precautions: There is heating in the house of flower friends in the north, the air is relatively dry, and it is necessary to spray water mist on the osmanthus tree in the morning and evening to increase the air humidity, which can effectively prevent leaf curling, dry tips and yellow leaves.
