Laurel is a plant of Oleaceae, also known as "Cinnamomum cassia" and "Oleaceae", commonly known as osmanthus tree. Common propagation methods include cutting propagation, sowing propagation, branching propagation and pruning. The height of the plant is 3 meters, and the branches are thick.

Laurel cultivation method

Laurel should choose loose and fertile loam with deep soil layer. Cinnamomum cassia likes to grow in a warm and sunny environment, so it is necessary to keep enough light when breeding and do a good job of shading in summer. When fertilizing laurel, always apply thin fertilizer. Laurel trees are mainly used for flower viewing. When plants sprout, dilute nitrogen fertilizer 1-2 times can be applied to promote the growth of branches and leaves and flower bud differentiation, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be applied before flowering.

Watering method

Water the laurel every 2-3 days during the growing period, and water it frequently when it is hot in summer, and the amount of water is appropriate. It is necessary to keep the soil moist during the vigorous growth period of spring and autumn, but it should not cause water accumulation.

Fertilization method

During the growth period of laurel, apply thin fertilizer frequently. Applying nitrogen fertilizer every half month during the growth period and applying phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before the flowering period can promote flower bud differentiation.

Pruning method

Re-pruning of osmanthus trees is generally carried out in late winter and early spring, and coring is generally carried out when new buds germinate in spring. It is mainly used to change the head of the main branch, change the extension direction of the big branch and balance the tree potential.

Matters needing attention in laurel culture

Laurel is suitable for growing in the environment of 20-30 degrees, and has certain cold resistance. But it is important to keep warm in winter. Generally, the temperature below 5 degrees Celsius will affect the growth of plants, so laurel should control the temperature above 5 degrees Celsius every winter to avoid frostbite of plants.
