Cultivation requirements: The cultivation of epiphytic orchids should use enough breathable and soft plant materials, and the cultivation of terrestrial orchids should use thick and soft culture soil. Keep them in a warm room with scattered light and keep them ventilated. Cultivation tips: In the growing season, water every 2-3 days, and apply a nutrient-rich compound fertilizer 2-3 times a month. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be applied several times before flowering. In winter, reduce or suspend watering.
1. when to blossom
The overall climate in the south is warmer than that in the north, and the temperature will rise faster after spring, which is more in line with the temperature conditions needed for flowering, so flowering will be earlier.It usually blooms in August, and the overall flowering period lasts until early October.However, it has many varieties, some of which can blossom all the year round, such as the four seasons.As long as it is usually provided with a suitable environment, it can be opened every two or three months.
2. Difference
There is not much difference between the sweet osmanthus in the south and the north. It is the same in appearance. The difference is mainly reflected in the growth habits.The climate in the south is warmer, so the cold tolerance of Osmanthus fragrans is not high, and the seedlings can grow well.It is colder in the north, especially in winter.Therefore, most of them are grafted seedlings, which are more cold-resistant and can survive the winter safely in the north.
3. Maintenance Management
No matter the sweet osmanthus planted in the south or the north, it should be provided with a moist and sunny environment when it is maintained.Watering at ordinary times, especially in the growing season, the soil should be moist, but not excessive.There is a lot of rain in the southern region, so drainage should be carried out in time to avoid waterlogging.During the growth period to more sunshine, light enough to blossom as scheduled, lack of light easy yellow leaves, will also affect flowering.In addition, the temperature is low in winter in the north, so it is necessary to control the temperature to avoid frostbite.
