Why does the magnolia grow slowly?

Gentleman orchid, because of giving people a dignified and elegant temperament, and deeply loved by the majority of flower friends, how to raise the gentleman orchid is still a lot of knowledge. It is true that the growth rate of gentleman orchid is not fast, but under normal circumstances, two or three pairs of leaves a year are OK. Here I will briefly talk about a few factors that affect the slow growth of the gentleman orchid.

1. Light and temperature

Although Cymbidium likes a moist and cool environment, it does not mean that it does not need light. Nanyang platform with scattered light and ventilation is more suitable for the growth of Cymbidium. Too high and too low temperature will inhibit the growth of plants to some extent, and the most suitable temperature is between 15 and 25 degrees.

2. Insufficient fertilization

Magnolia is a fertilizer-loving plant, with an adequate supply of nutrients in order to ensure the daily growth of the plant. The daily fertilization of Magnolia is mainly nitrogen fertilizer and potassium fertilizer, and stopping nitrogen fertilizer and applying phosphorus fertilizer one or two months before flowering period is beneficial to flower bud formation. It is suggested that the fertilizer should be mainly organic fertilizer and supplemented by chemical fertilizer. Remember the principle of "thin fertilizer and diligent application".

3. The soil is not suitable

Magnolia generally changes the basin soil once a year, which is conducive to root development. If the soil has not been changed for too long, it will lose its fertility, and the soil consolidation will also lead to the obstruction of root respiration and, in serious cases, rotting roots. The gentleman orchid should choose the soil which is loose and breathable, good drainage and rich in humus. Such as peat soil, humus soil, plus pine needles, pine scales, river sand, charcoal and so on. When changing soil, cover the bottom of the basin with a layer of mature organic fertilizer, which is beneficial to the subsequent growth and development of plants.

4. It may be sowing seedlings

If the planted Cymbidium is sown seedlings, the growth rate will be much slower than the ordinary ramet seedlings in the past few years, because the roots are concentrated in the first few years, and the leaves grow more slowly.

5. The maintenance position is not fixed.

Perhaps some flower friends want to let the magnolia have the most suitable growth environment, will often move the magnolia to different locations to breed, this is wrong. Because each time a new environment is changed, it takes a long time for the orchid to adapt, which leads to slow growth.

There are many factors that affect the growth and development of Cymbidium, but as long as you understand its habits and then to maintain it, it will not be a problem.
