Purple Magnolia planting methods and precautions

I. Breeding methods

1. Basin soil

Purple magnolia likes loose fertile acid, slightly acidic soil, can be used as a culture soil mixed with rotten leaf soil and vegetable soil, and add 50 to 150 grams of bone meal or nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer to the soil.

The basin should be slightly deeper and larger, and some broken hard plastic foam blocks should be placed at the bottom of the basin to enhance ventilation and drainage, and prevent rotten roots. Turn over the pot and change the soil once a year or every other year after flowering, and reserve 1/2 to 1/3 of the old soil.

2. Water

No drought or waterlogging should be allowed at any time, especially in rainy season.

3. Fertilizer

In winter, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied once when defoliation occurs, so as to enhance its cold resistance and overwintering ability, and little or no fertilizer should be applied in other times. Avoid applying nitrogen fertilizer alone.

4, pruning

Purple magnolia roots sprout strong, if not need to reproduce, with the long cut, each pot can maintain 3 trunk. For too high and too long branches, can be cut short just after flowering when the leaves, because of its poor ability to heal, cut after coating sulfur powder corrosion, if unnecessary, do not trim. After flowering, if there is no need to keep seeds for reproduction, the remaining flowers should be cut off with pedicles.

When does the purple flower bloom?

Generally speaking, it blooms mainly in the early spring, that is, in March to April this stage. However, this stage is only a rough period. We all know that the flowering of a plant is related to many factors. For example, in warm indoor farming, flowering may be earlier. Therefore, its flowering period will change with various factors, generally concentrated in March and April.

Why doesn't the purple flower bloom?

1. The age problem

This means that the plant has not been planted for too long to reach flowering age. If this is the case, then we cannot force it to bloom. It can only be carefully cared for, to a certain time, it will bloom.

2. Temperature problem

This plant itself has a relatively high temperature requirement. Therefore, it is mainly distributed in some provinces in the south of China, such as Hubei Province, Sichuan Province and so on. Therefore, if it is planted in a more northerly place, and if you want it to bloom, you must ensure that the temperature is in a suitable state. If it is a potted plant, it is more appropriate to move it indoors.

3. Lighting problems

Similar to the temperature factor, it also has a relatively large demand for light, and is a relatively light-loving plant. Then, if it is in a semi-shady environment, it will grow very thin and have few flowers. If you are in a very dark environment, then no flowers will bloom. So we have to be careful to give it plenty of light when it blooms.

4. Pest and disease problems

If the plant is plagued by diseases and pests, it will also prevent it from flowering. When we find it sick, we have to treat it in time.
