The magnolia plant is beautiful and elegant, the leaves are green and exquisite, and it will produce very beautiful flowers, which is deeply loved by flower friends. But the magnolia usually only blossoms not once a year, if the maintenance is good, it is possible to open two or three times. So if the gentleman orchid blossoms after how to manage the maintenance? And how to split the plant? The following editor will explain it in detail.

What about the orchid after it blossoms?

Flowering consumes too many nutrients in the orchid itself, and the soil in the basin is seriously deficient in nutrients, especially phosphorus, so it is best to turn the pot and change the soil after flowering to prevent the orchid from blooming in the coming year. Do not water the pot to detach from the plant for some time before changing the soil. Successfully cut off the rotten or dried roots, shake the soil and transplant it into a larger flowerpot. In the flowerpot, in addition to the soil, add bone powder or retting biscuit dregs to supplement its nutrients, pay attention to mixing evenly.

How to split the magnolia

First of all, the mother plant of Magnolia is taken out of the basin to replace the soil of the root, and the root system can be divided by careful observation.

If the daughter plant grows on the outer edge of the mother plant and the plant is small, it can be broken off directly by hand; if the daughter plant is stout, it can be cut off with a sharp knife. Don't break it by force, so as not to damage the young plants.

Then, plant the seed plant in the pot. The planting depth is not easy to be too deep, so it is appropriate to take the false bulb at the base of the newly buried seed plant, and then cover it with a little sterilized fine sand.

After planting, it was immediately watered, and after 2 weeks, the wound in the root system healed, and then covered with a layer of culture soil. After 1 ~ 2 months, the seed plant can produce new roots.

What if the gentleman orchid has too many roots?

1. Not blooming

Because the plant has not yet flowered, if we cut off its roots, it will easily lead to problems in its absorption, because the root is the most important thing to absorb nutrients. So wait until it blossoms before dealing with the plant, and there are so many roots before flowering, the biggest reason is that we usually apply too much fertilizer to it.

Second, have blossomed

Flowering plants if there are many roots, it should be properly treated, there are two specific ways.

1. Root cutting

The plant is not satisfied with the size of the flowerpot, too many roots will make its space crowded, and it will be very difficult to absorb some nutrients. At this time, it is necessary to cut off the rotten root, the long root and the old root from the root, and then air-dry it. Be careful not to let it bask in the sun. If you want to hurry up, you can use cigarette butts to scald the place where it is cut, and the natural air-drying time will take about half a day. The purpose of letting it dry is to prevent the invasion of bacteria. After that, we will plant it back into the soil and pour it with root water. If there are some diseased roots and dead roots, these need to be cut off, and the adherent roots are also needed, otherwise the growth of the roots will be affected in the future.

2. Ramet

The plant has too many roots, you can consider dividing its roots, so that it can become several small pots. In this way, it can change from the state of bursting to normal, and it can also become several pots of new plants. When ramets, the dead and sick roots should still be cut off, and the good roots need to be taken care of, so that they can not be hurt.

Seed harvesting of Cymbidium

In order to ensure the magnolia, the first step is to collect seeds. The orchid usually can get the fruit through pollination. When pollinating, the flower usually blooms and the perianth is cracked. The bud can mature in 3 days. At this time, there is mucus on the stigma and it can be pollinated.

When pollinating, dip the pollen with a brush and point it on the stigma of the pistil.

Pollination is usually done both in the morning and in the afternoon, and the seeds can mature at about 8pm in 9 months. When the fruit of the orchid turns black and purple, it can be cut off. The seeds can be taken out in 10 days.

As mentioned above, after enjoying the beautiful flowers of Magnolia, we should also pay attention to dealing with them. If it is not handled properly, it will affect the growth of magnolia in the future, so you must not be careless. Although the flowering period of Magnolia is short, its plant type and green leaves are very beautiful even if there are no gorgeous flowers.
