When the
Sweet osmanthus is very young, such as when it is in a seedling stage, you will need to give it more water than you would if it were at a mature age. During the early stages of this plant’s life, it is important to keep the soil consistently moist to encourage root development. The same is true for any
Sweet osmanthus that you have transplanted to a new growing location. Also, the
Sweet osmanthus can develop showy flowers and fruits when you give them the correct care. If your
Sweet osmanthus is in a flowering or fruiting phase, you will likely need to give a bit more water than you usually would to support these plant structures.
