If you want the magnolia to grow well, you must pay more attention to the conservation. Today, let's learn about the culture method of magnolia.

Culture methods of Magnolia

1. Watering

Because the roots of Zhulan are weak, it should be watered properly. Generally, after getting out of the house in spring, the temperature is not too high, so you can water it at noon every day. The air is dry in summer and needs to be watered once every morning and evening. When the weather is dry, we should often spray water to the leaves; in the rainy season, the air humidity is high, so we should control watering, otherwise the basin soil is too wet, the pearl orchid will blacken and wither and fall. If the climate turns cool in autumn, it can be watered once every 2-4 days according to the situation.

2. Fertilization

Magnolia is good fertilizer, during the growth period, we should pay attention to timely fertilization, so as to make Magnolia blossom more and have a strong aroma. Fertilizer with mature cake fertilizer or bone meal mature diluent, if possible, it is best to use rotten human feces and urine. It is appropriate to apply more before and after flowering, and add 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate aqueous solution 1-2 times (to prevent early bud or flower drop due to lack of phosphorus), so that the magnolia will be full of flowers and branches, aroma overflowing, and green leaves. Note that after each fertilization and watering, the soil should be loosened in time to facilitate ventilation. Less fertilizer should be applied in autumn and should be stopped in winter.

3. Shading

Magnolia is a negative plant, like scattered light, so in summer, we should pay special attention to do not let strong sunlight, must set up a shade shed, shade maintenance, otherwise the leaves are easy to turn yellow, affecting the ornamental. If there are conditions, it is best to plant some shade trees around the shade canopy to prevent the scorching sun from shining directly, so that the temperature in the greenhouse will not be too high in summer.

4. Pruning

The stems and branches of Zhulan are slender and vine-like, so we should pay attention to two aspects:

Because its stems and branches are slender and cannot be completely upright, bamboo circles or iron wires are used as bars on the basin to support its growth, so as to avoid bending and messy growth if it is allowed to grow naturally. Therefore, from the beginning of the seedling, it is necessary to pick the heart for many times to promote more branches. At the same time, the old leaves should also be removed frequently. After autumn, the withered branches, disease and insect branches should be cut off to save nutrients and ventilation.

5. Guard against cold

Magnolia is not cold-resistant, so it should be moved indoors before and after Frosts Descent, placed in a place where it can be exposed to sunlight, and the room temperature should be no less than 5 ℃. Generally irrigate once every 7-10 days to keep the basin slightly moist. Indoor should also maintain a high air humidity, but often when the temperature is high at noon, it will be moved out of the outdoor to spray and wash branches and leaves with warm water, which can not only keep the leaves clean, but also prevent the occurrence of soot disease.
