How to fertilize Golden Osmanthus
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Golden Osmanthus after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

We forgot about this sweet baby over the winter and she lost all her leaves. So dry. New growth is coming, but should I trim back the empty stems where the dead leaves fell? #FragrantOlive
