Magnolia blossoms several times a year

Magnolia blossoms only once a year, and the flowering period is from February to March. However, in recent years, there are many new varieties, which bloom twice in autumn and winter, which are all caused by abnormal climate, which is not a common phenomenon.

Second, Magnolia maintenance strategy!

1. Potted soil: White orchid is suitable for loose, breathable and humus-rich soil, which can be prepared with the same amount of humus soil and pastoral soil. Flowerpots should choose tile pots with good air permeability, purple sand pots, or plastic pots with more bottom holes.

2. Watering: the root system of white orchid is fleshy, afraid of stagnant water and not resistant to dryness. Daily watering should be dry and wet, dry and thoroughly irrigated, and often spray water to the leaves. In addition, pay attention to observe the state of leaves every day, and find that when the leaves of white orchids droop, water them in time.

3. Lighting: it should be placed in a sunny place every day to ensure more than 6 hours of light. Lack of light, branches and leaves grow too much, little or no flowering. Hot summer temperature is high, the sun is strong, should add shade slightly, lest the scorching sun burns the leaf and tender stem.

4. Temperature: it is not cold-resistant, and the northern area needs to be maintained indoors to survive the winter. Indoor overwintering, the daytime room temperature should be maintained at about 12 degrees, not less than 6 degrees at night.

5. Fertilization: thin fertilizer is applied frequently, and cake fertilizer is applied every half a month in the prosperous growth period. In addition, alum fertilizer water is properly irrigated several times to make the soil slightly acidic. One more available phosphate fertilizer can be applied at flowering stage, but it is not suitable to apply fertilizer in summer and winter.

6. Pruning: before the beginning of winter, dead branches, diseased branches, overgrown branches and over-dense branches should be cut off to minimize the nutrient consumption of the plant. The old leaves in the lower part of the branches can be properly removed at the beginning of spring to promote the growth of new branches.

7. Diseases and insect pests: the main diseases of white orchids are chlorosis and anthrax. Chlorosis can be prevented and treated with about 0.5% ferrous sulfate solution. Anthracnose can be treated with 50% carbendazim 500 times and sprayed every 5 to 10 days. The main pests are red spiders and shell insects. Once the shell worm is found, it can be scraped off with bamboo. Red spiders can be sprayed with 50% trithiophos 1000 times solution.
