Why doesn't the osmanthus tree bloom?
Osmanthus tree is loved by people for its rich aroma and elegant flowers, but many growers often encounter a problem: Osmanthus tree does not bloom. This article will extract relevant information from popular topics and hot contents on the Internet for the past 10 days, analyze the reasons why the osmanthus tree does not bloom, and provide solutions.
1. Common reasons why osmanthus tree does not bloom
According to recent discussions among netizens and expert analysis, the main reasons why the osmanthus tree does not bloom are as follows:
| reason | illustrate |
|---|---|
| Insufficient lighting | Osmanthus tree is a light-loving plant that requires at least 6 hours of light every day, otherwise it will be difficult to bloom. |
| Insufficient nutrients | The lack of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer will affect the differentiation of flower buds and lead to failure to bloom. |
| Improper trimming | Over-pruning will cut off the flower buds, resulting in no flower the following year. |
| Improper moisture management | Too much or too little watering will affect flowering. |
| Soil problems | Soil solidification or unpleasant pH (Osmanthus prefers slightly acidic soil) will inhibit flowering. |
| Too young | Seedlings usually take 3-5 years to bloom. |
2. Solution
In response to the above issues, the solutions mentioned in recent popular content are as follows:
| question | Solution |
|---|---|
| Insufficient lighting | Move the osmanthus tree to a sunny location or prune the surrounding trees blocked. |
| Insufficient nutrients | In autumn, apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers (such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate) to promote flower bud differentiation. |
| Improper trimming | Cut lightly after flowering to avoid heavy shearing; retain strong branches. |
| Improper moisture management | Keep the soil moist but not water accumulation, and appropriately increase the watering frequency in summer. |
| Soil problems | Loosen the soil regularly and replenish organic fertilizers; use ferrous sulfate to adjust the soil pH. |
| Too young | Wait patiently and provide a suitable growth environment. |
3. Recently, hot cases of netizens
The following are typical questions and experiences shared by netizens in the past 10 days:
| Case | analyze |
|---|---|
| Jiangsu netizens' "Flower Language" | The potted osmanthus flowers have not bloomed for 5 years, but were later found to be solidified by potted soil and bloomed the following year after the soil is changed. |
| Guangdong netizen "Green Field" | The osmanthus tree is placed on the north balcony, and the light is insufficient, so it blooms after transplanting to the south courtyard. |
| Zhejiang netizen "Xiangmanyuan" | Over-pruning leads to no flowering, and it is changed to lightly cut after the flower, and the fragrance of flowers is now everywhere every year. |
4. Expert advice
Combining recent live broadcasts and articles by horticulture experts, the following key points are summarized:
1.Observe the blade status: Healthy osmanthus leaves are dark green in color. If they become yellow, they may lack iron or accumulate water.
2.Flowering period management: August to September is the critical period for flower bud differentiation, and nitrogen fertilizer should be reduced and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied more.
3.Winter protection
5. Practical Tips
Practical Tips Collected from Popular Short Videos in the Recent:
| Skill | Operation method |
|---|---|
| Beer flower promotion method | Water it with 50 times diluted beer before blooming, once a month (recently likes over 100,000) |
| Water control and flower promotion | Control the water appropriately for 20 days in August, and wait until the leaves wilt slightly before watering to stimulate the formation of flower buds. |
| Tree trunk ring cutting | For adult trees that grow too vigorously and do not bloom, cut 0.5cm wide in the main ring in May (use with caution) |
6. Flowering characteristics of different varieties
According to the latest data from the Botanical Garden:
| variety | Flowering age | Number of flowering times in the year |
|---|---|---|
| Jin Gui | 3-4 years | 1 time (September-October) |
| Four Seasons Osmanthus | 2-3 years | Many times (main flowering period autumn and winter) |
| Dangui | 4-5 years | 1 time (about October) |
Through the above analysis and data, it can be seen that the failure of osmanthus tree to bloom is often the result of the combined action of multiple factors. Growers need to make comprehensive adjustments in terms of lighting, nutrients, pruning, etc. based on specific circumstances. A large number of recent successful cases have proved that as long as the cause is identified and the correct measures are taken, most osmanthus trees can bloom again.
