What to do after Magnolia blossoms

1. Specific period

This kind of plant mainly blossoms around March, but the duration of the flowers is very short, usually only about ten to fifteen days. Therefore, after it has bloomed, it is necessary to adjust various factors in time to promote its growth.

2. Specific methods

(1) pruning: after the plant has bloomed, most of the flowers fall. However, some of the residual flowers will remain on the branches. These residual flowers have a great impact on the ornamental of the plant, but also consume some nutrients. So we should cut them off first. In addition, those withered and diseased flower branches also need to be cut off. If you consider its shape, you can also cut off what is too long. However, after pruning, you need to be careful to keep the wound dry and not to catch Rain Water. Remember to ventilate regularly and replenish fresh air. In addition, when watering, do not splash water on the wound. Also, after pruning, some fermented organic fertilizers such as bean cakes can be used. In this way, the later plants will be more vigorous.

(2) topdressing: some people think that as long as the supply of nutrients is guaranteed during flowering. After blooming, you don't need to take care of it. In fact, this is not right. Because it blossoms and consumes a lot of nutrients. Then, in order to ensure the normal growth after that, it is necessary to gain weight. After flowering, it is best to apply more phosphate and potash fertilizer.

(3) Prevention and control of diseases and insect pests: in general, after flowering, plants are easily plagued by diseases and insect pests. The same is true of this plant. Therefore, after flowering, we should actively prevent diseases and insect pests instead of thinking about remedial measures after it has happened.
