How to grow red magnolia

1. Appropriate lighting

It is a strong sun-loving plant and needs plenty of light to grow. During the growth period, it needs to be placed on the balcony so that it can be better exposed to light. The daily light exposure should not be less than 6 hours. Growing in the shade will result in only leaves without flowers, or very few flowers, and the branches will become slender and the leaves will be very thin. But this is not the case in all seasons. In summer, pay attention to shade and avoid exposure to the sun.

2. Watering needs to be timely

Because of the root system, the water supply cannot be too much. Maintain a good frequency, water once a day from early summer to late autumn to keep it moist. In the hot summer, the demand for water is greater. You can spray water on the leaves or around them to increase the humidity and ensure growth. In rainy seasons, special attention should be paid to timely dumping to avoid root rot.

3. Supplement good nutrients

Because it blooms and likes fertilizer, nutrient supplementation is crucial to ensure the quantity and quality of its flowers. Its flowering period is from May to October, and organic liquid fertilizer should be applied every 5-7 days. The concentration needs to be lower, and raw fertilizer cannot be applied directly to avoid burning the root system.
