How should crape myrtle be planted?

Suitable loam: As far as drainage effect is concerned, sandy soil is the best loam for planting. Mountain soil, pastoral soil and fine river sand can be mixed in the ratio of 5:3:2 to make culture soil, or bone meal can be added to increase nutrition.

It likes sunshine very much and needs more sunshine when planting. Can be planted directly in the yard or balcony, so that it has more time to contact the sun and absorb the light every day. If the environment is dark and the sunshine is insufficient, it will lead to failure to bloom, or the flowers are too small to look good.

Matters needing attention in crape myrtle planting

Osmanthus fragrans likes fat. If there is always a lack of fertilizer, it will lead to weak growth, thin branches, few flowers or no flowers. Therefore, it is necessary to apply fertilizer reasonably in spring and summer when the growth is vigorous, and apply fertilizer according to the principle of thin fertilizer and diligent application. Fertilization is reduced in autumn and stopped in winter dormancy.

Potted soil needs to be replaced every two to three years. When changing pots, you should prepare a slightly larger flowerpot and apply a small amount of base fertilizer in the soil. Osmanthus fragrans branches are thick and should be pruned frequently. After flowering, residual flowers should be removed in time, branches should be pruned, and horizontal branches, parallel branches and insect branches should be removed to reduce nutrient consumption.
