Spike cylindrical, brown: follicle, dehiscent after maturity, seed red. It blooms in March and ripens in June and July.

Magnolia is light-loving, cold-resistant and can overwinter in the open field. Love high dryness, avoid low humidity, planting land waterlogging easy to rot roots. Like fertile, well-drained and slightly acidic sandy soil, in weakly alkaline soil can also grow. In the south, where temperatures are higher, flowers can bloom from December to January of the following year. Magnolia has strong resistance to harmful gases. If planted in a factory contaminated with sulfur dioxide and chlorine, the flower has certain resistance and sulfur absorption ability. Artificial fumigation with sulfur dioxide, 1 kg dry leaves can absorb more than 1.6 grams of sulfur. Therefore, Magnolia is a good anti-pollution greening tree species in air pollution areas.

How to cultivate and manage magnolia flowers? Magnolia is an early spring flower species with full color and fragrance. When planting, we should grasp the right time, neither too early nor too late, and plant it 10 days before germination in early spring or before unfolding leaves after flowering. When transplanting, regardless of the size of seedlings, roots should be brought with mud, and be careful not to damage the roots. To ensure survival. Before planting, fully decomposed organic fertilizer should be applied as base fertilizer in the hole. After planting, seal the soil tightly and irrigate enough water in time. Magnolia flower more like fertilizer, but avoid big fertilizer; growth period generally apply fertilizer twice can be conducive to flower bud differentiation and promote growth. Once in early spring and again in May/June. Fertilizers are fully decomposed organic fertilizers. The newly planted saplings need not be fertilized until they have fallen leaves or the following spring. Magnolia root system fleshy roots, not tolerant of water. The soil should be kept slightly moist during flowering and growth period. After autumn, watering should be reduced to delay the rooting of Magnolia, promote the maturity of branches, and facilitate winter. Water is generally not watered in winter, only once when the soil is too dry. Magnolia branch wound healing ability is poor, so generally do not prune. However, in order to make the tree shape reasonable, long branches, dead branches, diseased branches and branches that hinder the beauty of the tree shape should still be cut off at the early stage of leaf expansion.

In addition, after the flower withers, if there is no seed left, the residual flowers and follicles should be cut off so as not to consume nutrients and affect the flowering of the coming year. Magnolia flowers are mostly planted on the ground, and potted plants should be cultivated into piles.
