What are the cultivation methods and precautions of Magnolia

Magnolia cultivation method

Magnolia is a plant of the phylum Angiosperms, class Dicots, family Magnoliaceae. The main methods of reproduction are grafting and layering.

Magnolia has a strong adaptability to temperature and can grow in an environment of minus 20 degrees to 40 degrees. It is not resistant to exposure to strong light. The growth of seedlings will stop if they are exposed to high temperature and scorching sun for a long time. It is suitable to be planted in loose, breathable, humus-rich soil. When it grows vigorously, fertilize it once every 15 days. The principle of watering is not to water unless the soil is dry. The temperature in winter should be above 5 degrees.

Watering method

White jasmine needs to be watered in moderation, following the principle of not watering unless the air is dry. Be careful not to allow water to accumulate. If the air is dry, you can sprinkle water on the leaves and the surrounding area moderately. Pay attention to drainage during the rainy season to prevent root rot.

Fertilization method

White jasmine is a fertilizer-loving plant. When it is growing vigorously, it should be fertilized every 15 days. Compound fertilizer can be applied. Do not apply fertilizer near the roots to prevent "root burn". Apply thin fertilizer (cake fertilizer) frequently and stop fertilizing in winter.

Pruning methods

The top buds of white jasmine can be removed to break the apical dominance. When shortening some side branches, pay attention to choosing the height. This is beneficial to growth and flowering. In addition, dry, overgrown, diseased and overly dense branches need to be cut off to reduce nutrient consumption.

Magnolia cultivation precautions

Magnolia prefers acidic soil. For places with alkaline water quality, you should use 0.3% ferrous sulfate or 0.3% potassium dihydrogen phosphate when fertilizing every month to keep the leaves green. Fertilizer should be gradually stopped in September.
