The leaves of magnolia are large and broadly obovate in shape. There are 9 petals, white, and fragrant when open. The fruit is brown on the outside and has heart-shaped seeds inside. In daily maintenance, magnolia requires long-term sunlight, and the shady environment affects its growth. Watering should be strictly controlled to keep the soil slightly moist for a long time. Fertilize 4 times a year, apply organic fertilizer before flowering, nitrogen fertilizer after flowering, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer from July to August, and ring fertilizer before winter.

1. Morphological characteristics

1. Leaves: The leaves are papery and have a wide obovate shape or an obovate oval shape. The length is about 10-18 cm, and the width is about 6-12 cm.

2. Flowers: Usually bloom from February to March, and will bloom again from July to September. The flower buds are oval and fragrant. The petals have 9 petals, usually white, with a pink base.

3. Fruit: The fruit is cylindrical, about 12 cm long and no more than 5 cm wide. The appearance is brown, the lenticels are white, and the seeds are heart-shaped.

2. Maintenance methods

1 , Sunshine: Magnolia prefers sunshine and is generally planted in a sunny environment. Being in a shady environment will cause it to grow poorly, grow thin and short, and cause the leaves to turn yellow.

2. Watering: Magnolia is sensitive to moisture and is not tolerant to waterlogging or cold. Water frequently but not too much, and keep the soil moist at all times, but without stagnant water. Once a month during the growing season is sufficient, and water should be withheld during the rainy season.

3. Fertilization: Moderate fertilization can make magnolia grow vigorously, with thick green leaves and large and fragrant flowers. Applying compound fertilizer once before flowering can effectively promote flowering. Apply nitrogen fertilizer once after flowering to help it resume growth. Fertilize with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers from July to August to promote flower bud differentiation. Apply fertilizer once before winter to increase soil activity.
