Time

The sowing method can be sowing immediately after collecting the seeds in the autumn, or hiding the seeds in the sand until sowing in the following spring.

Sowing

The sowing period can be divided into sowing after harvesting and sowing in spring. Fertile and loose sandy soil should be used as the seedbed. Deep plowing should be carried out while weeding and insecticide are eliminated, and sufficient base fertilizer should be applied. Then open the sowing trench, cover the drill with soil and compact it slightly.

Planting

Choose a flat place When making a nursery, loam is the best soil for the nursery. A deep soil layer is conducive to bringing the seedlings out of the nursery.

Soil

Choose loose, fertile organic soil. It is not suitable to use soil that has been planted with vegetables or has high clay content.

Watering

Spray water when fertilizing, and pay attention to controlling the amount of water, not too much.

Fertilization

In order to promote flower bud differentiation, thin fertilizer can be applied 1 to 2 times during the growth period, and flower fertilizer can be applied every half month during the vigorous growth period.

Precautions for the cultivation of Magnolia grandiflora

Magnolia grandiflora can be divided into potted plants and ground plants. Potted plants should be placed in a ventilated and bright greenhouse before the frost. It is not advisable to overwater. The moisture content of the pot soil should be kept between 40% and 60%.

You can leave the house after the "Qingming Festival" and place the potted plants in a sunny and leeward place. You only need to apply fertilizer and water 1-2 times a week.

In hot summer, you should pay attention to drying and cooling the leaves. You need to water them once a day and add fertilizer and water twice a week. After the plant grows up, it can be repotted in 2-3 years.

For ground-planted plants, attention should be paid to loosening the soil, weeding, and protection from cold in winter.
