Pick the seeds in the fall and store them in the sand if they are not sown immediately. Remove the outer shell of the seeds, then soak them in warm water for about two days, scrub off the outer seed coat, and take out the seeds to dry. Choose a planting place, sow the seeds to a depth of about 2 centimeters, shade the seedlings in time after they grow, and transplant the seedlings when they grow stably. Select the location first, and then transplant the seedlings with soil balls.

1. Picking seeds

1. Picking seeds

Autumn is the season when Magnolia seeds mature. You can pick the seeds at this time. If you cannot sow them immediately, you can store them in the sand and wait until the next spring to plant them. Because the seeds are rich in oil, they cannot be stored over the summer, otherwise the survival rate will be affected.

2. Seed processing

Remove the outer shell of the seeds, then soak them in water for about two days, just use warm water, then scrub off the outer seed coat, take out the seeds inside, and put them outside to dry.

3. Preparing the soil

The soil for planting has certain requirements. It needs to face the sun and be exposed to a certain amount of light. It also needs to ensure good drainage. The soil must be loosened before sowing. Make sure the soil is soft and soft to facilitate seed germination.

4. Sowing and raising seedlings

After preparing the soil, sow the seeds to a depth of about 2 cm and cover them with a thin layer of soil. After the seedlings grow, they should be shaded in time and should not be exposed to strong sunlight to prevent them from being burned to death.

5. Transplanting and cultivation

After the saplings have stabilized, they can be transplanted. Select the transplanting location, dig a soil pit with a diameter of about 1m, and ensure the depth is more than 50cm. Fill the bottom with base fertilizer, and then transplant the saplings into it with soil balls.
