How to make Magnolia oleifera bloom on New Year's Day

Unregulated flowering

Generally speaking, the flowering period of this plant is from February to March. If we want it to bloom on New Year's Day, we have to find a way to advance its flowering period. Here are the specific methods.

What can be done?

Temperature Control:

For many plants, controlling flowering period by regulating temperature is the most effective method. Especially for this plant, since temperature is the main factor that promotes its flowering. Because of the temperature difference, the flowering period between the north and the south can even differ by four to five months. Therefore, if we want to advance the flowering period of plants, in addition to keeping the plants in a warm indoor environment, we must also take other measures to increase the temperature around the plants. However, it should be noted that we should start this measure about a month in advance, and then the temperature will slowly rise, and there will be a gradual warming process. This is a good way to achieve good results, as the differentiation and development of flower stems will be faster without causing unnecessary damage to the plants.

Drug regulation:

This is a method that has become quite popular in recent years because it works quickly. A series of drugs such as cytokinins generally work by helping to stop the slow development state of the plant and then inducing the plant to bloom. However, it is a medicine after all, and using too much will still cause certain damage to the plants. This method is usually used in urgent situations and will produce immediate results. If time is not particularly urgent, this method can be used as an auxiliary measure. Our main method is still the first one.
