What are the breeding methods and precautions of Osmunda japonica?

Cultivation method of Osmunda japonica Thunb

Osmanthus fragrans is a plant of Lysimachiaceae, which can be propagated by sowing, cutting, layering, branching and grafting. It can grow on calcareous soil or acidic soil, and is usually suitable for growing on fertile and moist soil.

Osmunda japonica should ensure good soil factors in the cultivation process, such as looseness, fertility and good drainage, maintain good sunshine at ordinary times, water in time, maintain good soil moisture, increase watering times in summer, rationally fertilize in spring and summer, reduce fertilization in autumn and stop fertilization in winter dormancy period.

Watering method

Osmunda japonica can't lack water during its growth, so it needs to be watered in time to keep the soil moist. In summer, the temperature is relatively high and the water evaporates quickly, so the watering times can be increased appropriately.

Fertilization method

At the beginning of March, mixed fertilizers of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium were applied to Osmunda japonica to help it germinate. In May and June, the application of phosphorus and potassium mixed fertilizer promoted the plants to bloom better and the flower branches to be strong. During the flowering period, some cake fertilizer and water can be applied to make the flowers of plants more colorful.

Pruning method

After flowering, it is necessary to remove residual flowers in time, prune branches, remove cross branches, parallel branches and pests and diseases, reduce nutrient consumption, and help plants resume growth as soon as possible.

Matters needing attention in osmanthus cultivation

Potted Osmunda japonica needs to be replaced regularly, about once every 2-3 years. Generally, loose mountain soil, pastoral soil and fine river sand can be mixed as cultivation soil, and organic fertilizer can be used as base fertilizer, but attention should be paid to avoid direct contact between root system and fertilizer, otherwise it will burn and damage root system and endanger the normal growth of plants.
