Culture method of Magnolia

1. Soil: Magnolia prefers fertile, moist and well-drained sandy soil, is not resistant to drought, taboos, and grows poorly on dry, loam and clay.

2. Watering: Magnolia flowers avoid drought and waterlogging, usually to ensure the supply of water, often spray water to the leaves, increase the dampness of the air, so as to avoid yellow leaves.

3. Sunshine: magnolia likes light and is slightly shady, so we should pay attention to the problem of lighting so that magnolia can fully accept the sunlight.

Temperature: magnolia like warm and humid climate, can also be cold-resistant, but if the temperature is lower in winter, it is still necessary to move to indoor insulation and breeding.

5. Fertilization: Magnolia like fertilizer, it should be fertilized in time, fertilizing once before and after flowering, mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, applying mature manure as base manure from October to November every year, and topdressing available nitrogen fertilizer for 2 or 3 times during sprouting and branching after anthesis.

6. Insect pests: the main pests of Magnolia are Haitong cotton scale, coal fouling disease and so on, which will reduce the ornamental value and can be sprayed with Popper 1-3 degree stone sulfur mixture. during nymph incubation, 40% omethoate EC 1000 times and 10% pyridine wettable powder 1500 times can be used. When adults occur, they are sprayed evenly with 800ml 1000-fold liquid or 1500-fold EC. Adding appropriate amount of diesel oil during spraying can increase its permeability, and the liquid must be sprayed thoroughly.

7. Pruning: Magnolia must be removed from tillers, sprouting and pruning to facilitate the tree-shaped growth of magnolia.

Next, let's get to know magnolia in depth.

Magnolia trees can be up to 5 meters high, when the flowers are proud to stand on the branches, pure white and holy, because Magnolia flowers bloom first, and then grow leaves, so magnolia blossoms are full of white trees without miscellaneous colors, making people feel admired suddenly.

Sending expensive gifts is not in line with the identity of children, so it is better to send an open magnolia. To express my respect and praise for the teacher's noble soul.
