If the osmanthus is planted and cultivated, it will take about 10 years to bloom. If it is a cutting seedling, it needs to be cultured for about 4 years before it can blossom. If the seedlings are grafted, they may bloom in 1-2 years. If the plant is old enough but does not bloom, it may be caused by insufficient sunlight.

A few years of flowering

1. Seeding seedlings: if the osmanthus seedlings are cultivated by seeding method, it will take about 10 years to grow before they can blossom normally

2. Cutting: the cutting plants can blossom a little faster. About 4 years of cultivation, it has the ability to bloom.

3. Grafting seedling: the grafting seedling is the fastest flowering. Generally, it can bloom within 1-2 years after grafting. In addition, if the grafted variety is Siji GUI, which is easy to bloom, it may bloom in the same year.

Why don't you bloom?

1. Lack of light: it prefers sunlight. It needs to receive certain sunlight and accumulate certain nutrients before it can blossom. If you do not receive light for a long time, you may not be able to bloom. At this time, as long as it is transplanted to a place with better lighting conditions, and slowly maintained for a period of time, it will be able to blossom again

2. Improper fertilization: before it enters the flowering stage, it can't do without fertilization or only apply nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise it may fail to bloom. At this time, as long as the stop of nitrogen fertilizer, and every 10 - 15 days for it to apply some phosphate fertilizer, soon it will be able to bloom.
