Taboos of growing Magnolia in winter

The environment should not be too dry in winter

The environment is relatively dry in winter, especially in the north. The dry environment is extremely unfavorable to its growth. You can sprinkle some water around it around noon to increase the humidity of the air.

Do not keep it in a place without sunlight in winter.

It is a light-loving plant and it is best if it can receive sunlight throughout the day, which is very beneficial to the growth of the plant and its flowering. If the plant cannot be exposed to sunlight all day, it must be grown in sunlight for at least 6 hours. If there is no sunlight for a long time, in addition to only growing leaves, the flowers will become sparse or even the flowering period will disappear. The branches and stems will also become thin and fragile, which is very detrimental to the health of the plant.

Pay special attention to watering in winter

It is a plant that is afraid of both drought and waterlogging. Even in winter, you need to continue watering it, but you need to master the watering time. You can choose to water it at noon when the weather is sunny.

Magnolia grandiflora is actually easy to grow in winter, mainly because it can safely overwinter in temperatures as low as minus 20 degrees Celsius. This factor determines that it has a good time in winter. However, its flowering period is also parallel to winter, so there are differences between the north and the south. Some people will blindly apply fertilizer because of the late flowering period, which is not advisable.
