Maintenance and Management of Magnolia

Magnolia is native to the mountains and forests of South Africa, so it is not difficult to cultivate because it likes warmth, cold and shade. But it is not so simple to raise a gentleman orchid who wants to live a long and healthy life. There are often a lot of problems in the cultivation process, most of which are caused by improper cultivation. The editor will introduce to you how to raise the orchid scientifically and correctly.

Gentleman orchid

1. Preparation of basin soil: (basin soil is generally prepared according to the following proportion) Forest humus soil: River sand: cinder 7:2:1

The gentleman orchid is the most suitable for forest humus, which is fertile, breathable and diuretic. Humus soil can be bought on the market, or can be prepared by itself, collecting all kinds of leaves, tender grass, rotten vegetable leaves, etc., and then mixing part of chicken, duck, goose, pig, sheep, cow and horse manure buried in the ground to fully mature for 1-2 years, after taking out, thinning exposure in strong sunlight or after 0 ℃ cold treatment, fully killing insects and sterilization, then crushing and sieving and stirring evenly, then bagging. (it can also be sterilized with formalin)

Second, fertilization: the principle of fertilization of Magnolia is that it is rather thin than thick, and the concentration of fertilizer will burn the roots and cause the leaves to scorch. Generally speaking, it is better to apply rotten cake fertilizer or mixed fish and shrimp liquid fertilizer in time during the growing period and after flowering, with a concentration of 15% and 20%. 7Mel once every 10 days (when applying liquid fertilizer and water, you should pour it along the edge of the basin and do not stick it on the leaves or bulbs. If you touch it, you should rinse it off with clean water in time. Magnolia can be fertilized in spring and autumn, and fertilizer is prohibited in summer and winter during dormancy.

Third, watering. Gentleman orchids should not be watered too often, usually dry or semi-dry. Spring and autumn is the peak season for the growth of magnolia to be watered at the right time. The principle is "watering thoroughly without leakage." High temperature in summer and cold in winter are basically dormant, so we should water less to prevent rotting roots. Dry air or high temperature should be properly foliar sprayed or sprinkled to maintain humidity and cooling (note: River water, rain and snow water, well water is better, tap water can not be directly irrigated should be released for 2 days oxygen volatilization. Noon in winter, morning and evening in summer. Water it in the afternoon of Spring and Autumn. In short, the difference between the water temperature and the basin soil temperature should not be too big.

Fourth, daylighting and temperature: Cymbidium is a semi-shade plant, you can't do without light. Not even the glare. Especially in summer, I am most afraid of bright lights. Otherwise, Yesheng burns easily. The sun is weak in winter, but there is more sunshine. Cymbidium is afraid of both heat and cold (more than 35 ℃, less than 8 ℃ will stop growing) so it is suitable for scattered light and 15 ℃ 25 ℃. So grow outdoors, pay attention to sunshade in summer and keep warm in winter. In addition, in order for the two rows of leaves to grow evenly and symmetrically, we should pay attention to turning the basin, generally turning the basin every 8 times every 10 days, turning 180 °.

Fifth, change pots: raise magnolia often change pots, generally every 1-2 years, in the spring and autumn growth peak season, magnolia pots should be small, not large, otherwise easy to rot, generally 2mur3 leaves with a caliber 10 cm basin, 4 Muk 5 blades with 13 cm pots, 6 Muk 8 blades with 20 cm pots for flowering with 35 cm pots.

Sixth, pest control: ① leaf spot disease, the initial symptoms are small brown spots, later disease spots dry. There are black particles in the center. The disease often occurs in high temperature and dry conditions. Measures, can spray 50% carbendazim, sprinkle water to cool down, maintain humidity. ② soft rot, mostly on the lower leaves. It looks like an oil spot in the early days. Light yellow, transparent, and then gradually brown soft rot or dry, if there is, can strengthen ventilation, soil disinfection, can also use penicillin, oxytetracycline and other dilution 5000 times spray leaves or smear disease spots have a certain effect.

Introduction to the maintenance and management methods and matters needing attention of Magnolia grandiflora

Big flower gentleman orchid, with high ornamental value and auspicious meaning, is deeply loved by many flower friends. Some flower friends will ask if there are any points for attention when it comes to the family potted orchid. Next, the editor will introduce these problems in detail. Let's follow the editor to learn.

The mixed soil of broadleaf rotten leaf soil, needle leaf rotten leaf soil, culture soil and fine sand is the best, which is loose and fertile, which is beneficial to the development of fleshy root. The optimum temperature for growth is 15 ℃ 25 ℃. When the temperature is lower than 10 ℃, the plant grows slowly and the temperature exceeds 30 ℃. The leaves and flowers will grow excessively, and the temperature difference of 10 ℃ is the most beneficial to the growth and development of Cymbidium.

In the process of growth, scattered light is the best, which is beneficial to blossom and fruiting. On the contrary, too strong light is not conducive to plant growth and development, flowering and fruiting. The soil is not required to be dry or wet, and the air humidity is 70% 80%. If the soil is too wet or the relative humidity is too large, the orchid is prone to diseases.

Fertilization should be scientific. Magnolia is a fertilizer-loving plant. It should be fully fertilized when changing pots and fertilized once a month during the growing period. However, be careful not to stain the leaves when fertilizing, and apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once before flowering stems.

In winter, Cymbidium often appears the phenomenon of "entrapment" of florets before the false bulb grows. The main reason is that when the scape appears, it is affected by low temperature and low soil water content. As long as in the scape extraction period, properly heating and increasing the amount of water can prevent the occurrence of "clip arrow" phenomenon.

This is all I know about the magnolia today. I hope it will be helpful for you to read this article. If you want to know more about the magnolia, please continue to pay attention to the succulent flower bed, we will provide you with more related knowledge!

Autumn maintenance and Management of Magnolia

Cool autumn is also a good time for orchids to grow. Although the climate is a little worse than that in spring, adult orchids bloom in autumn. Therefore, if the gentleman orchid is properly maintained in autumn, it will be of great benefit to the winter.

Gentleman orchid

First, change the soil and change the basin: it is best to change the soil and change the basin when the orchid grows in autumn. if you change the basin, you should choose a basin of suitable size. the basin is too large or too small can affect the growth of the orchid, and changing the basin is a patient and careful work. Poor basin-changing technology will bring great harm to the orchid. Nutritive soil is the key to ensure the healthy growth of Magnolia. The preparation of nutritious soil is generally dominated by rotten leaves, and proper addition of charcoal slag and coarse sand to increase the water permeability and air permeability of the medium. When changing the soil, the base fertilizer should be properly applied to meet the needs of the growth of Cymbidium.

Second, increase the light: light plays a key role in the normal growth, development, flowering and fruiting of Cymbidium. The soft sunshine in autumn is the most suitable for the growth of Cymbidium, so it is very powerful for the photosynthesis and respiration of Cymbidium to be directly exposed to sunlight as far as possible.

Third, increase fertilizer: adult magnolia needs a lot of fertilizer to bud and blossom in autumn, especially phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, be careful not to apply fertilizer to the fleshy root so as not to burn the orchid root. Liquid fertilizer can be combined with watering at the same time.

Fourth, autumn ramet: when changing the soil in autumn, the larger growing buds can be divided, and the buds can be broken off directly by hand, preferably with roots. the buds growing in the stem can be cut with a knife, and the wound should be disinfected after cutting to prevent decay. Rootless buds can be planted in coarse sand or pine needles to root.

Fifth, to prevent frost: in autumn, especially in late autumn, the temperature is suddenly cold and hot, and there is a large temperature difference between day and night. With the change of temperature, the family should pay attention to close the doors and windows at any time to prevent the cold current from attacking the orchid.
