How to Grow Osmanthus Burkwoodii Plants

Osmanthus Burkwoodii is a beautiful flowering plant that is native to China and Japan. In some parts of Asia, the plant is used as an herbal remedy. It has a sweet fragrance and can be used in many ways for decoration purposes.

Here in the United States, Osmanthus species are found in the Sonoma Coast Ranges and coast regions from California northward into Washington. They have been recognized under the federal Plant Family Act as “threatened plants.”

Sennigeroides alsinoides and S. fasciatus are two species of undescribed species in California. The undescribed species are included in the list of 63 threatened plants by the Department of Agriculture. The southern people considered these plants pests and used them to treat skin conditions.

Osmanthus plants have excellent drainage qualities requiring little watering. Spreading spiky seeds in the soil provides for successful germination.

I probably spent seven or eight days in my small apartment implementing my new-found love of this plant. I planted my seeds in a mixture of peat-like compost and perlite. I watered it after each of the planting rounds twice a week. The first plant that I grew showed little growth and died the very first day. The next day, I watered it once more. After two weeks, it had grown very tall and lavender in colour. A few weeks later, it bloomed heavily and changed from lavender colour to pale yellow and orange.

The blooms lasted for seven weeks and then I moved the plant out onto a sunny windowsill. After a few weeks, the vapour trail from the floral flower parted and the plant withered and died. I had made a mistake in my love affair with this plant which I corrected after some research. Sennigeroides species don’t respond well to trimming or pruning. They need indirect sunlight to breathe and survive. I wish I would have used more care in replanting this plant to begin with.

I talk a lot about growing indoor plants and I recommend everyone begins with a houseplant. Having a plant that requires very little attention and care is one of the most important things that I have learned in my nearly 20-year plant-growing experience. I don’t know of another houseplant hobby that offers as much benefits for so little time as this one. Despite my misgivings, I decided to continue growing this houseplant which started going south from there.

As I learned more about growing houseplants I discovered that you don’t need a large container to have a successful plant. According to Noomie Hameed, all that is required is a uniform medium to keep the roots hydrated and nutrient-rich.

In the beginning, this medium should be a layer of peat-mixture or perlite. Pee-mixed peat-based fertilizers have worked very well for me. I have read good success with fertilizing with a liquid fertilizer also.

Insider Interview Part 1: How do you manage your work-life balance and how do you stay motivated when you’re exhausted?Osmanthus Burkwoodii variegated leaves. A member of the mint family of plants, Osmanthus is native to Asia. These plants are often used as spices, but they are also known for their beautiful blooms. The blooms can range in color from lavender, red, chocolate, and orange.

Insider Interview Part 2: Can a garden contribute to your mental health?Osmanthus can increase levels of serotonin, a chemical in the brain that regulates mood. Serotonin is an important chemical messenger in the brain that is involved in receiving, processing, and sending messages to the body. Seems like a pretty straightforward function but there’s more to it. Serotonin plays a significant role in sleep, emotion, memory, and pain perception. To be clear, too much serotonin doesn’t necessarily cause depression. However, too little serotonin diminishes the quality of sleep.

Osmanthus has been used as medicine for centuries because of its ability to improve mental health. Almost one third of global population suffers from depression. Last year's pandemic has added to our woes. Those who are suffering the most are moms with families in crisis. Research states that “It may be beneficial to use garden plants that naturally promote sleep.”

The plant is also cultivated for its vibrant blooms, making it an easy plant choice for indoor decor. If you’re new to plants, start small! There are four or five blooms on each plant. According to the article, “each blossom is worth $70 USD, and one bloom can produce over 50 grams of sold anthuriums.” A sold anthurium is obviously a small seed.

Insider Interview Part 3: Growing plants is often considered a relaxing activity. How does this plant differ from that and other types of plants?Gardening allows us to take care of our environment. Interacting with our surroundings has an unparalleled mental health benefit. Plant-life provides shelter, food, companionship, and equal contribution to everything around us. It increases happiness and inner peace. Looking at life from a plant’s perspective is always uplifting.

Ladybug and Mew are comic relief characters from the Pokémon franchise, featuring the characters having supernatural abilities. Pokémon were first produced by a Japanese company in 1996, and have since grown into an international phenomenon. Pikachu has become the world’s most successful cartoon character and was recently added to the 2020 movie lineup under the name “Pikachu”.

This plant has bright blue flowers with a clear resemblance to the Pokémon character’s eyes. Grow this plant in a window or pot because it flowers from late summer to early autumn. Ladybug and Mew are two of the 17 known species of Pokémon.

Ladybug and Mew belong to the myrtle family, which includes many other commonly forgotten medicinal herbs. There are also at least 18 other myrtle species disease-resistant plants to choose from! This plant is known as the “anti-Pokémon” because it has evolved to interfere with the damaging physical abilities of Mew.

Keep this plant indoors during the daytime, as it will get smothered by summer heat. When choosing this plant, be sure to keep the soil evenly moist so that it drains easily. A basic aeration system works best for selecting the right soil-moisture balance. Watering once per week is all that is needed to maintain proper watering.

Osmanthus burkwoodii is an evergreen shrub that reaches heights of 15–30 feet in any well-drained location. The peak growth time is May to August, however, the leaves do not fully open until August 15. The fruit on this plant is a composite of five pinkish-purple flowers.

Ficus species are among the most expensive plants to grow. When selecting ficus to add to your landscape, you are looking for low maintenance and high-yield plants. Unlike many of the other plants on this list, ficus do not require watering. The leaves of this ficus apply a poison when touched, causing an instantaneous but unpleasant effect on the affected person that lasts for about 12–36 hours.
