Temperatures Holly osmanthusSole pieno
Let's grow the The Holly osmanthus outdoors; they can bear very harsh minimum temperatures, even when many degrees below zero. When the minimum temperatures are very low we can protec the more sensible brushes by covering their roots with dry leaves or straw.Let's grow the The Holly osmanthus in a luminous place, with direct sunlight.

Care Holly osmanthus
These plants are shrubs. Holly osmanthus Is an evergreen; during spring, summer, autumn, winter iIt assumes a greenwhite colouring; the adult specimens are medium in size and reach 4,5 m high. The development is erect, they tend to grow both in height and in width, giving origin to a rounded shrub.

Feed Holly osmanthus
To obtain a florid development it is important to remember to fertilize our shrubs periodically; in the spring let’s use a fertilizer rich in nitrogen and potassium, which will favour the development of new vegetation and of flowerings. We can intervene at the end of the winter, mixing a good dose of slow release organic fertilizer to the soil surrounding our plant. During the spring it is also possible to act periodically, with liquid or powder fertilizers, to add to the water when irrigating, every 20-25 days.

Irrigation Holly osmanthusTenere Umido
Water when the ground is dry; in case of prolonged droughts water very often, otherwise every 2-3 weeks can be enough using 1-2 buckets of water ; avoid water stagnations and excessive watering. If we decide to grow a specimen of the Holly osmanthus in a container, we should remember that it will have slightly different needs compared to a specimen grown in the ground: we should pay more attention to its water and nutritional needs and check more often for possible development of parassites.

Adversity Holly osmanthus
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture.
