How to grow magnoliaMagnolia belongs to the Magnoliaceae family. Common cultivated varieties include white magnolia, grandiflora, mountain magnolia (Udumbara), etc. They are mostly propagated by layering and division, and sometimes by sowing. Magnolia likes light and is suitable for maintenance in sunny places. It is relatively cold-resistant but not drought-resistant and afraid of waterlogging. It requires fertile, moist and well-drained sandy soil and is not alkali-resistant. temperatureA warm environment is suitable for the growth of magnolia, which can be between 20 and 28 degrees. It has a certain degree of cold resistance. Generally speaking, it does not need to be protected from the cold when grown in the southern region. However, if it is located in the north, try to place it indoors. illuminationMagnolia is a light-loving plant, but it should be avoided from strong light. Therefore, it can be placed directly in a place with scattered light or no direct light, without moving the position or shading. WateringMagnolia is sensitive to water, and the soil in the pot should not be too dry or too moist. Therefore, it should not be watered too much, nor should it be too dry. In addition, when it is very hot in summer, it needs additional spraying of water, which can be done around six in the morning. FertilizationMagnolia needs to be fertilized four times a year. The first time, you can apply compound fertilizer before flowering, and then use nitrogen fertilizer after flowering. In July and August each year, mainly use phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and apply organic fertilizers before winter. pruneBegin by cutting out all weak branches and short-cutting long shoots. Do not over-prune your magnolia. It is recommended to remove dead wood and vertical shoots as they appear each year and will reduce stress on the tree. Magnolia cultivation precautionsMagnolia is usually propagated by sowing. Select good quality seeds, soak them in water at about 50 degrees and then sow them. The substrate can be sandy soil, and some base fertilizer can be added in an appropriate amount. Sowing can be done by "row sowing". After sowing, keep the soil slightly moist. It is best to change the potting soil of magnolia every 1-2 years. After changing, it needs to be placed in a cool place to allow the plant to adapt. It may have "chlorosis", the leaves will turn yellow and then white, and in the most serious cases, it can cause the death of the entire plant. Ferrous sulfate can be used to irrigate the roots and assist with measures such as loosening the soil. |
