Cultivation and Management of Magnolia

Magnolia is a flowering tree species with early spring color and fragrance. When planting, it is necessary to grasp the right time, neither too early nor too late. It is most suitable to plant Magnolia 10 days before germination in early spring or before spreading leaves after flower fade. When transplanting, regardless of the size of the seedlings, the roots should carry mud clumps and be careful not to damage the roots as far as possible. To ensure survival. Before planting, fully mature organic fertilizer should be applied in the hole as base fertilizer. After planting, seal the soil and press it, and pour enough water in time.

Magnolia prefers fertilizer, but avoids big fertilizer; generally applying fertilizer twice during the growing period can be beneficial to flower bud differentiation and promote growth. Once in early spring, and again in May-June. Fertilizers are often made of fully mature organic manure. Newly planted seedlings do not need to be fertilized until after falling leaves or in the following spring. The root system of Magnolia is fleshy and can not tolerate stagnant water. It is advisable to keep the soil moist during the flowering and growing period. After entering the autumn, we should reduce watering, delay the rooting of magnolia, and promote the branches to mature in order to survive the winter. It is generally not watered in winter, but only once when the soil is too dry. Magnolia branch wound healing ability is poor, so generally do not prune. However, for the sake of reasonable tree shape, the overgrown branches, withered branches, disease and insect branches and branches that hinder the beauty of the tree shape should still be cut off at the initial stage of leaf expansion. In addition, after the flower fades, if there is no seed left, what should the residual flower be? The ear is cut off so as not to consume nutrients and affect flowering in the coming year.

Magnolia is mostly planted in the ground, and it is appropriate to cultivate it into a pile when potted.
