What are the breeding methods and culture methods of Magnolia

Magnolia culture management needs to pay attention to some daily conservation measures, such as water and fertilizer, soil, light and temperature, pruning and so on, and potted Magnolia is not easy to suffer from insect pests, so breeding is relatively simple.

The mode of reproduction of Magnolia

1. Cuttings: spring, rainy season and autumn can be carried out. In spring, the cuttings are cut before sprouting, and the sturdy annual branches are cut into cuttings about 15 cm long, which can take root and survive about 50 days after planting. The plum is cut in the rainy season, and the sturdy, full semi-mature branches are made into cuttings. after the cuttings are inserted, 60% of the sun is hidden, and the environment is kept moist, which can take root and survive after 3-4 weeks. The autumn insertion is carried out after the end of the flowering period from August to September, select the part above the middle of the current annual branch after the last flower, cut the growing section of 3-4 nodes as cuttings, cover it with plastic film to moisturize, and cover 60% of the sunlight, 70% of the sun, after 15-20 days can take root and survive. The growth potential of the new plant that survived is much more prosperous than that of the ramet, and the general young plants can blossom after 2-3 years of cultivation.

2. Ramet: it is usually carried out in combination with turning the basin from March to April. Pour out the full pot of plants and divide them into several clumps because of the weakness of the root system. There are as many root groups as possible in each clump, and the upper leaves need to be cut off for a long time in order to survive and restore growth. And then plant them separately.

3. Pressing: from April to June. The branches are pressed to the ground or basin surface with soil, take root in 40-50 days, separate from the mother plant when they take root for a long time, and can be planted respectively.

Culture methods of Magnolia

Soil: mountain mud is the best soil for potted plants. rotten leaf soil or peat soil can also be used, mixed with a small amount of river sand, plus a small amount of bone powder or calcium superphosphate as base fertilizer.

Fertilization: because the magnolia blossoms many times, and the flowering period is better than blackening, so it needs more fertilizer. Generally speaking, the organic liquid fertilizer with the combination of nitrogen and phosphorus should be applied 2 times before budding, and an appropriate amount of ferrous sulfate should be added to the fertilizer solution; after budding, the liquid fertilizer mainly composed of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied twice to promote the propagation of chlorophyll. The application of phosphate fertilizer can also prevent early flower and bud drop due to phosphorus deficiency. After the flower fade, the liquid fertilizer was applied for 1 or 2 times to facilitate the continued flowering. Every fertilization should be timely watering and loosening the soil, in order to facilitate the ventilation of the basin soil and prevent rotting roots.

Watering: because the pearl orchid root is weak, so watering should be appropriate. In general, after coming out of the room in spring, the temperature is not too high, but it can be watered at noon every death. Water should be watered every morning and evening in summer, and water should be sprayed to the leaves when the breath is dry. Rain death should be controlled watering, otherwise it is easy to cause stem nodes to blacken, wither and fall. In autumn, according to the situation, it should be irrigated once for 2-4 days. When the room temperature is low in winter, we should stop fertilization and control watering in order to keep the basin soil slightly moist. However, it is still necessary to maintain a high air humidity and spray wash the branches and leaves with water close to room temperature once a week, which can not only keep the leaves clean, but also prevent the occurrence of soot disease.

Light and temperature: Magnolia is a shady plant, which should be shaded from the beginning of summer to early autumn. After the beginning of summer, it should be put on the north balcony or outdoor sunshade training, in order to cover about 70% of the light. Avoid bright light to avoid withering and yellowing leaves. As the saying goes, the immortal jasmine and the immortal pearl orchid are just like this. The pearl orchid is not resistant to cold. 10 in the north entered the room in the first and middle of October, such as putting it in a place with plenty of light after the room, and the room temperature should be kept above 15 degrees.

Pruning: Zhulan branches can not be completely upright, it is best to use bamboo circles or wire as a fence to support its growth, so as to avoid messy plants. If it is allowed to grow naturally, it is easy to grow and lodge, so it should pick more hearts from the seedling stage and make it more branched. After autumn, dead branches and diseased branches should be cut off to save nutrients and promote ventilation and light transmission.

The pearl orchid has bright green leaves and golden flowers, which is a kind of plant that can bring vitality to the living room. it is especially suitable to be placed in living rooms and other places, so that visitors can feel full of enthusiasm and sincerity.
