How to raise Magnolia in South China

Soil: forest rotten leaf soil mixed with a certain proportion of coarse sand. Temperature: when the lowest temperature is 5 ℃-O ℃, it can be cultivated not only indoors, but also in the open air in the courtyard. Fertilization: adequate supply of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other trace elements, mainly plant fertilizer. Watering: spray the flowers and leaves every day, and water the basin soil once every 5 days.

Soil requirement

The basin soil for the cultivation of Magnolia had better use forest rotten leaf soil mixed with a certain proportion of coarse sand, this kind of cultivated soil is fertile, expansive, good air permeability and water permeability, which is beneficial to root maintenance. Where there is a lack of such a basin, soil can be taken on the spot.

For example, in Guangzhou, pond mud, broken bricks and charcoal can be used as pot soil for cultivation, and the effect is also very good. However, no matter what kind of bonsai is used, it should have strong air permeability and water permeability.

Temperature requirement

Compared with the north, the advantage of cultivating Cymbidium in the south is that the temperature is high. In the place where the lowest temperature is 5 ℃-O ℃, it can not only be planted indoors, but also can be cultivated in the open air in the courtyard. In winter, there is no need to heat up the orchid as in the northeast.

Especially in the southern coastal areas, the natural conditions are better, the air is humid, the climate is pleasant, and there is no severe cold in winter and no heat in summer, which is very suitable for the growth of Cymbidium. 、

Fertilization method

Gentleman orchid is fond of fertilizer flowers, fertilization should also be in line with the principle of local materials. According to the growth needs of Cymbidium plants, sufficient nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other trace elements can be supplied.

Fertilization should be based on plant fertilizer, such as peanut cake, soybean cake, sesame sauce residue, etc., and apply less animal fertilizer as far as possible to keep its leaf layer fresh and tender.

Watering method

To cultivate Magnolia in the south of Jiangxi Province, it is necessary to create a suitable environment for the growth of orchids in summer. Indoor potted plants had better be equipped with air conditioning and cooling. If there is no air conditioning equipment, they can be placed in a ventilated place indoors, spraying flowers and leaves every day, and watering the basin soil once a day. This can keep the flowers and leaves fresh and prevent the roots from rotting due to water loss.

Open-air cultivation, set up a shade in high temperature season, make it accept scattered light irradiation, at the same time pay attention to increase environmental humidity to avoid plant damage caused by dry environment.
