How to make Magnolia grandiflora bonsai

Planting techniques of Magnolia grandiflora bonsai

First of all, the Magnolia grandiflora bonsai can use white magnolia, purple magnolia, Magnolia officinalis, etc. as grafting rootstocks, and choose Magnolia grandiflora branches with thick growth and full buds as scion. Choose a suitable growing container and place it in a sunny location.

Select pot

You can choose a purple clay pot or a glazed pottery pot.

Pruning of branches and leaves

In the early stage: pay attention to pruning excess branches and removing excess leaves to reduce the transpiration of water during the growth period of the plant and increase the survival rate of the plant.

Later stage: When Magnolia grandiflora grows too vigorously, it will have too many inner branches and overlapping branches, and sometimes it will grow "double heads", which will affect the ornamental effect. Therefore, it is necessary to trim the excess leaves and side branches in time.

Secondly, we should pay attention to strengthening fertilizer and water management. Fertilizer and water management in four periods needs to be paid attention to:

First, apply enough basal fertilizer at the bottom of the pot when potting; second, apply nitrogen and phosphorus combined fertilizer 1-2 times after flowering; third, apply nitrogen and phosphorus combined fertilizer 2-3 times when buds are forming and appearing from June to August; fourth, apply top dressing once before flowering.

Finally, in hot summer weather, be sure to spray water on the leaves to cool them down. Depending on the size of the plant, you can repot it every 2-3 years.
