How to water the magnolia in different seasons

In different seasons, the climate is completely different, Magnolia is also in different stages of growth and development, the water demand is different, the amount of water is also different.

(1) watering in spring

The climate is getting warmer in spring, but sometimes there is the influence of cold snap. Generally, the orchid is watered once every 2-3 days, and the watering time is from 9 am to 10:00 Dry weather can also spray water on the leaves.

(2) watering in summer

In the middle of summer, the growth of orchids is slow. According to the weather conditions, adhere to the principle of watering once a day and watering thoroughly. Do not let the water flow into the heart of the leaves, so as not to rot, do not water or less on rainy days, and pour out the stagnant water in the basin in time after the rain.

If the temperature is higher than 30 ℃, it is sunny for a long time, and the air is too dry, which will strengthen the transpiration of Cymbidium leaves, causing the leaf edge of Cymbidium leaves to shrink and lose color. Therefore, we should pay attention to maintain a high air humidity, can often spray water to the leaf surface and splash water to the ground. This can not only reduce the air temperature, increase the air humidity, reduce the foliar transpiration, promote the leaves to be bright and clean, but also reduce the watering times of basin soil in hot summer, promote the sturdy growth of fleshy rhizomes and breed new small roots. and can prevent and reduce the occurrence and harm of root rot in the muggy environment.

The weather is sunny and hot in summer, so you can spray water for 2 or 3 times a day to ensure that the orchid will spend the summer safely. It is generally appropriate to water in the morning and evening in summer, and avoid watering at noon. On the other hand, the basin soil should be a little dry.

(3) watering in autumn

The weather is getting cooler in autumn, watering should be carried out at 9: 10 am, once every 2-3 days. The potted soil should still be kept a little drier.

Cymbidium can spray water on its leaves in all four seasons, and its requirement for air humidity is that it should be wet in the growing season and dry in the dormant period. In autumn (basically the same in spring), spray water every day or every few days, depending on the changes in temperature and humidity. The water quality of Rain Water is better (snow water can be used in the south of the Yangtze River), followed by river water and tap water, and well water is best not used.

(4) watering in winter

The temperature is low in winter. The climate of many provinces south of the Yangtze River is cold. Generally, Magnolia is dormant and does not need much water. It can be watered once every 5-7 days and carried out at noon on a sunny day. If the room temperature is less than 10 ℃, the lower humidity is beneficial to overwintering and anti-freezing, so there is no need to spray more water to ensure safe overwintering.

In Guangdong, the climate is warmer, with few frosts in winter except for special years. The temperature is generally above 5-10 ℃. Therefore, Magnolia seldom dormant in Guangdong, it continues to grow in winter and can still grow new leaves. Although the growth is very slow, it can be watered every 3-5 days, in order to keep the basin soil slightly dry, spray water every 2-3 days, in order to increase air humidity, which is beneficial to the growth of Cymbidium.
