How to water the magnolia?

The watering method of gentleman orchid:

The temperature in friends' homes. Humidity. The size of a flowerpot. Permeability (air permeability) of flower soil. Seasons and other conditions are different, the interval of watering should not be fixed into one. The interval should be considered as the environment changes.

Let me tell you a few tips to judge whether it's time to water or not:

1. Knock. Tapping on the flowerpot's 1G, 2pm, 1ax, 3, the sound is clear that the water in the flower soil is not enough, so it needs watering. The dull sound shows that there is enough water and does not need watering.

two。 OK. Feel the weight from the flowerpot at the front of the watering. Water it. After watering, pick up the flowerpot to feel the weight. After a long time, you will know if it is time to water the flowerpot.

3. Probe. Is the most direct way. The fingers probed into the flower soil in about 1 stroke and felt humidity in 3 places. If you are wet, you don't need watering. It's wet and ready to be watered. If there is still a little moisture, it's time to water it.

The orchid should be watered thoroughly, and it is best to use the "sitting basin" method to water the orchid at home. Is to put the flowerpot of the magnolia in the pot to water the flowerpot and save the water from the flowerpot for next time. In this way, the soil of watering flowers can be easily watered through, and the nutrients flowing out of the basin will not be wasted with the loss of water. When watering, we should also pay attention to the water not to pour into the leaf core, if accidentally water into the leaf core, you need to immediately use strong water absorption paper or cotton to absorb the water.

How do orchids reproduce sexually?

Magnolia usually uses only two methods of reproduction: one is sexual reproduction, that is, sowing and reproduction, and the other is ramet reproduction in asexual reproduction. It is common to sow and propagate Magnolia grandiflora. The advantage of the method of reproduction is that it can be propagated in large numbers to meet the needs of people who grow more flowers. However, artificial pollination should be carried out on the front page of sowing and reproduction, and it is best to carry out cross-plant pollination. The seed setting rate of strong plants is high, and robust plants can generally bear ten seeds after different plant reproduction; the same plant pollination can only bear several seeds.

The method of pollination is: 2-3 days after perianth cracking, when the bud matures and the stigma secretes mucus, it is the time for pollination. During pollination, the pollen of stamens is dipped with a new brush and gently falls on the stigma of the pistil. In order to increase the seed setting rate, pollination can be done once between 9 am to 10:00 and 2 pm to 3 pm respectively. It takes about 8-9 months for the seeds to mature. When the pericarp gradually changes from green to black and purple, the ear can be cut off and the seeds will be peeled off after 10-20 days. Before sowing, soak the seeds in warm water of 30-35 ℃ for 20-30 minutes and dry them for 1-2 hours (at this time, it is better to soak them in 10% sodium phosphate solution for 20-30 minutes, and then soak them in clean water for 10-15 hours), then sow into the culture soil. The seeding flowerpot was placed in a room temperature of 20-25 ℃, keeping the humidity at about 90%, and the radicle germinated in about 1-2 weeks.

One of the things to do well in sowing and breeding is to prepare the cultivated soil first. There are many materials available for making culture soil, but one of the more easily obtained is loose soil with sufficient humus taken from the surface of the forest, mixed with clean fine sand soil of 1 stroke 3.

Cymbidium likes slightly acidic soil, and its pH value of 6-6.5is suitable. The time requirement for the propagation of Cymbidium by sowing method is not strict. It can be sown in spring, autumn and winter, but the air temperature is an important condition. It is best to sow under the temperature of 20-25 ℃ to meet the temperature requirements of germination.

How to water the orchid has a more developed fleshy root, the root stores a certain amount of water, so this kind of flower is more drought-resistant. However, drought-tolerant flowers should not be seriously short of water, especially in the case of high temperature in summer and dry air, do not forget to water in time, otherwise, the roots and leaves of flowers will be damaged, resulting in the germination of new leaves, and the original leaves are estimated to be scorched, not only affect flowering, but even cause plant death. However, too much watering will rot the roots. Therefore, it is necessary to have a good grasp and always pay attention to the dry and wet condition of the basin soil. if it is semi-dry, it should be watered once, but the amount of water should not be much. It is just right to keep the basin soil moist and not damp.

So, how many days should it be watered? Under normal circumstances, it is watered once a day in spring; in summer, the leaf surface and the surrounding ground can be watered with a fine spray kettle, twice a day in sunny days, once every other day in autumn, once every other day in winter, and once a week or less in winter. But it must be noted that this refers to the "general situation". It must be mastered flexibly according to a variety of specific circumstances. For example, it should be watered more on sunny days, less on cloudy days, every few days on consecutive cloudy days, and not on rainy days. When the temperature is high and the air is dry, the flowerpot should be watered several times a day; if the flowerpot is large, it is not easy to dry because of the large amount of water in the soil, so it can be irrigated less; if the flowerpot is small and the water is easy to evaporate, it should be irrigated appropriately. Flowerpots are placed in places with good ventilation and easy evaporation, suitable for more watering, while less watering should be done in places with poor ventilation, slow evaporation and high air humidity. It can be irrigated less at seedling stage and more at flowering stage. In short, it depends on the specific situation, in order to ensure that the basin soil is soft, not too dry, too damp as the principle.

Of course, if there are conditions, magnetized water is the best, followed by Rain Water, snow water or running water in rivers, followed by water in ponds, and the worst is tap water. For flower growers living in big cities, only tap water is available, so you can use a small water tank or bucket to put tap water in it and water it again every 2 minutes and 3 days later. This can precipitate some harmful impurities in the water. In addition, the substances contained in the water can be oxidized and purified, and the temperature of the water can be close to the humidity of the basin soil, so that the plant will not be too cold or too hot.
