First, the method of watering the magnolia

1. The combination of transparent and impermeable

When watering, you can use hand cushion to pad the flowerpot, only replenish the surface water when the layer is short of water, and water thoroughly when the water content of the bottom layer is insufficient.

2. Dry-wet combination

Make the basin soil often in a dry-half-wet-wet state, pay attention to the dry water content can not be less than 30%, conducive to the survival of aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms in the basin soil, is conducive to the growth of magnolia.

3. Combination of water and fertilizer

When watering, you can add a certain amount of liquid fertilizer, gentleman orchid is more like fertilizer, the combination of water and fertilizer can make plants better absorb nutrients, conducive to growth and flowering.

4. Spraying combination

When the plant does not need to be watered, a spray can with pressure can be used to wet and spray through the surface of the basin soil. When you need to pour water thoroughly, sprinkle the water evenly to every part of the basin soil, so as to achieve the best effect of watering.

5. Distinguish between external conditions

Under the condition of high temperature, good ventilation and good ventilation and drainage, you can water more, and vice versa.

6. Distinguish the seasons

During the growing period, the water demand is large, so it is appropriate to water more, and when the temperature decreases in autumn and winter, water less. The summer air temperature is high, can spray water to the leaf surface and the ground, increase the air humidity to prevent dry leaves.

7. Distinguish the flowering stage and seedling stage

Seedling stage, flowering stage, flower arrow extraction period, more water demand, can be properly watered.

8. The choice of water

People who grow vegetables, melons, fruits and fruit trees at home should know that there is a kind of fertilizer that can promote flowers and fruits, and it is more appropriate to raise magnolia. It is the flower fertilizer king "potassium dihydrogen phosphate". Because it contains phosphorus and potassium, it is beneficial to the arrow drawing and flowering of magnolia, and the method of use is also very simple. Everyone dissolves the potassium dihydrogen phosphate powder with water and pours it into the orchid flowerpot, watering it once a month to ensure that the arrow blossoms in the same year.

When fertilizing, try to apply less nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise the leaves will only grow, you can apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, which is conducive to secondary flowering.
