Introduction to the planting method of ornamental magnolia tree

Magnolia tree is no stranger to us, it is a common flower and tree in the south. I first saw this kind of tree in the primary school campus. Its trunk is high, its leaves are like small boats, and its flowers are white and composed of several petals. You can smell its fragrance from a distance. Magnolia is very suitable for planting in the courtyard to decorate the environment. Today let's take a look at the introduction of the planting method of ornamental magnolia trees.

1. Requirements of soil

The soil with very deep soil layer is very suitable for the growth of magnolia, especially in slightly acidic or neutral soil, magnolia is not suitable to be planted in alkaline soil. The growth of magnolia has high requirements on the content of soil nutrients and soil drainage.

Second, temperature management

Magnolia is very sensitive to the temperature of its surroundings. If the temperature is too high, the florescence of magnolia will be advanced. Magnolia has strong cold tolerance and can survive at minus 20 degrees. But the temperature is too low, below 20 degrees below zero, so it is necessary to keep it warm.

Third, watering should be appropriate

The root system of magnolia belongs to fleshy type. This kind of root system cannot grow in soil with stagnant water. So during the growing period of magnolia, just make the soil around it a little moist. After entering the autumn, the amount of water will be reduced to slow the growth of its roots, which is conducive to the maturity of branches and can better survive the winter. In general, watering can be stopped after winter, and only if the soil is too dry, water a little. If the air is relatively dry, you can properly spray water on the leaves to increase air humidity and promote its growth.

Fourth, the light should be sufficient.

The growth of magnolia depends on sunlight, so it is best to put it in a place with plenty of light, so that magnolia will grow more vigorously, produce more flowers and smell better. Of course, the sun is stronger in summer, so give proper shade at noon to prevent the flowers from withering in the sun.

V. Management of diseases and insect pests

Anthracnose, leaf spot, fried cicada, red wax scale, blow cotton scale, red spider, big coir moth, longicorn beetle and so on, these are common diseases and insect pests of magnolia. Drug spraying can be used to dispel diseases and insect pests. On that day, when the cow eats the branches and roots of magnolia, the situation is very serious and will kill the whole tree. when you see sawdust dung, find the wormhole, plug the cotton ball dipped in dichlorvos solution into the hole, and then block the hole with mud. it can have an insecticidal effect.

VI. Pruning of branches and leaves

Magnolia branches are generally not pruned because of their poor healing ability. However, for the sake of the beauty and rationality of the shape, the useless long branches, withered branches, disease and insect branches and branches that affect the beautiful shape should be cut off at the initial stage of leaf expansion.

I believe that through the introduction of our article, we have a certain understanding of the planting methods of ornamental magnolia trees. I hope it will be helpful to you.
