Magnolia fresh and beautiful, but not charming, dignified and virtuous, very similar to lotus shape, but quite different from lotus. When magnolia blossoms, flowers bloom all over the tree, flowers first and leaves later, graceful posture stands among the branches, adding spring sunshine to the courtyard, magnolia blossoms burst fragrance, refreshing, make people relaxed and happy, then magnolia how to raise it?

How to raise magnolia flowers

Magnolia is light-loving, cold-resistant and can overwinter in the open field. Love high dryness, avoid low humidity, planting land waterlogging easy to rot roots. Like fertile, well-drained and slightly acidic sandy soil, in weakly alkaline soil can also grow. In the south, where temperatures are higher, flowers can bloom from December to January of the following year.

Magnolia is an early spring flower species with full color and fragrance. When planting, we should grasp the right time, neither too early nor too late, and plant it 10 days before germination in early spring or before unfolding leaves after flowering.

When transplanting, regardless of the size of seedlings, roots should be brought with mud, and pay attention not to damage the roots as much as possible, in order to ensure survival. Before planting, fully decomposed organic fertilizer should be applied as base fertilizer in the hole. After planting, seal the soil tightly and irrigate enough water in time.

1. Fertilization

Magnolia nature like sunshine and humid environment, not long-term growth in alkaline soil, planting should choose the wind sunny, good drainage and fertile place. There should be sufficient water and fertilizer before flowering to promote beautiful magnolia flowers.

Its flowers are large and fragrant. Magnolia branches are not many, in addition to dead branches, pest branches and disturbed tree branches, generally do not need pruning. If no seed is left after the flower withers, the fruit should be cut off so as not to consume nutrients. Magnolia cold-resistant strong, in North China, the southern part of Northeast China, can be open winter.

Magnolia flower more like fertilizer, but avoid big fertilizer; growth period generally apply fertilizer twice can be conducive to flower bud differentiation and promote growth. Once in early spring and again in May/June. Fertilizers are fully decomposed organic fertilizers. The newly planted saplings need not be fertilized until they have fallen leaves or the following spring. Magnolia root system fleshy roots, not tolerant of water. The soil should be kept slightly moist during flowering and growth period. After autumn, watering should be reduced to delay the rooting of Magnolia, promote the maturity of branches, and facilitate winter. Water is generally not watered in winter, only once when the soil is too dry.

2, pruning

Magnolia branch wound healing ability is poor, so generally do not prune. However, in order to make the tree shape reasonable, long branches, dead branches, diseased branches and branches that hinder the beauty of the tree shape should still be cut off at the early stage of leaf expansion. In addition, after the flower withers, if there is no seed left, the residual flowers and follicles should be cut off so as not to consume nutrients and affect the flowering of the coming year.

3, potted plants

Magnolia flowers are mostly planted on the ground, and potted plants should be cultivated into piles.

Potted Magnolia can be coiled and tied, that is, after germination in April, with the growth of new shoots, coiled and tied at any time, tied into a curved posture, limiting the trunk to rise. Because magnolia is a deep root system, it is easy to grow weak after living in the basin for a long time, so it should repair the taproot after the flower withers, cultivate it in the ground, and then go to the basin before flowering, so that it can bloom and bloom.

Magnolia cultivation methods and precautions

1. Leaf picking

Magnolia flowers cultured indoors can be cultured for a period of time from the spring equinox to Qingming every year, mostly in cloudy or cloudy weather, and 2-3 days after leaving the room is the adaptation time of Magnolia to the outdoor environment. Then the old leaves are removed from the plant, leaving only a few tender leaves on the shoots to promote new shoot growth. After that, every time a flower falls, a small number of old leaves need to be removed to save nutrients for the growth of new branches and flower bud germination. During the growth period of Magnolia, necessary and moderate topping work can also control the balanced distribution of nutrients and promote the growth of lateral branches.

2. Nutrients

Magnolia flower due to long florescence, flower size and flower characteristics, growth of nutrients needed more. Appropriate fertilization is required to provide sufficient nutrients for its growth to ensure that Magnolia flowers bloom luxuriantly and beautifully at the arrival of normal flowering. When putting on the pot, apply sufficient base fertilizer. During the flowering period from May to July, apply organic liquid fertilizer (decomposed cake fertilizer water) based on phosphorus and potassium every 5-7 days. To adhere to the principle of "thin fertilizer and frequent application", fertilizer can be prepared first light and then thick, avoid applying raw fertilizer, so as to avoid burning roots. In addition, every 7-10 days to take an extra-root fertilization, can spray 0.5% concentration of plant growth hormone and 0.3% concentration of potassium dihydrogen phosphate.

3. Watering

Magnolia root belongs to fleshy root, water control should be in place. Therefore, watering should be carried out once a day from early summer to late autumn to keep the soil moderately moist, especially in the dry "dog days". Watering should be carried out once in the morning and evening, and the air humidity should also be improved by spraying water on leaves and flower pots. If watering is tap water, should be careful of soil being alkalized, such as leaves yellowing situation should be timely application of ferrous sulfate water or 0.7% of the concentration of acid vinegar water irrigation roots. In rainy weather in spring, it is necessary to avoid water accumulation in flower pots to prevent rotten roots.

4. Light

Magnolia growth needs to receive sufficient light, growth period should be placed in the long sunshine and strong sunlight balcony or other sunny place, flowering period should pay more attention to the maintenance of light, every day to ensure more than 6 hours of light time. Long-term maintenance in the shade is not conducive to the normal flowering of Magnolia. Only in the "dog days" when the direct light is long, moderate shade is required, usually between 12 and 16 o 'clock every day. At this time, the ground temperature should also be cooled, the specific method is to spray cold water to the ground, and at the same time, it will increase the humidity of the air, artificially creating a suitable environment for the growth of Magnolia.

Common diseases and insect pests of Magnolia

Magnolia common diseases and insect pests: anthracnose, leaf spot disease, fried cicada, red wax scale, blowing scale, red spider, large moth, longicorn, etc., once found available drugs spray kill it.
