What are the culture methods and matters needing attention of Magnolia

I. Culture methods of Magnolia

1. Prepare nutritious soil

If we want to raise a pot of pearl orchid at home, we must first understand its growing environment and what kind of native vegetables are suitable for its growth. Zhu orchid is a plant that likes loose, slightly acidic soil. the soil can be prepared with rotten leaf soil, coarse sand and pastoral soil at 2:2:5, and then add the right amount of bone powder as the base fertilizer.

2. Light and temperature

In addition to the requirements of the soil, light and temperature are also very important to the magnolia. The magnolia is naturally shady and can no longer be exposed to strong light. It should be placed in a warm and ventilated place. If the temperature is below 10 degrees, the magnolia will stop growing. So it is necessary to take good heat preservation measures and take corresponding measures according to the weather temperature. In the hot summer, the temperature will be very high and the water will evaporate quickly. So we take shading measures and replenish water to the magnolia, spray a little water around the basin soil to lower the temperature, maintain the humidity of the air, and remember to ventilate the environment.

3. Watering

Magnolia likes to be moist, so we try to keep the soil humid, not too wet, not too much watering, no stagnant water, watering every 1-2 days during the Spring Festival, with the temperature rising, we need to pour 1 water every day. Especially in summer, we should water once in the morning and evening, spray water on the leaf surface at noon to maintain humidity, not with turbid water, which is not conducive to the growth of the root system.

4. Florescence of Magnolia

The florescence of Magnolia is relatively long, consumes more nutrients, and needs to be replenished in time. We can apply light fertilizer in spring, once every 15 days, the amount is gradually reduced, and the number of fertilization can be relatively reduced after budding. Autumn can be restored to the original number of times.

5. Heart picking and pruning

Because the top advantage, I believe we all understand, we have to remove the top to promote the growth of lateral buds, control the height of the plant, when the lateral buds grow to about 20, we can stop picking the heart, and we should remove the yellow leaves and old branches in time.

II. Matters needing attention in the culture of magnolia

1. Diseases and insect pests

Magnolia is also a kind of plant that will have insect pests. In summer, we should prevent aphids, red spiders, shell insects and other pests. When insect pests occur, we can spray pesticides to kill insects.

2. Sunshade

The pearl orchid is a shade-loving plant, which has been mentioned before, but once again, we need to take shading measures during the summer growing season, otherwise the leaves will easily turn yellow, thus affecting the ornamental value.

3. Guard against cold

The temperature in the northern region will drop sharply in October, so the pearl orchid should be placed in a sunny environment in time, the basin soil should be kept moist, and the air should pay attention to humidity. It is best to keep the room temperature above 15 degrees, and it is easy to get frostbite if the temperature is below 5 degrees.
