Lotus magnolia is also called Mulan, Magnolia and so on. Although its name has two characters of lotus, it has nothing to do with the lotus except that the flower looks like the lotus. But it also has a high ornamental. The flowering period is from May to June, while the fruiting period is from September to October. The flowers are large and fragrant. Let's talk about its breeding methods.

Sowing

Breeding time: from mid February to late February

Propagation method: if you want to collect seeds by yourself, you should harvest the fruits in September, then get the seeds, and sow in February of the next year. Spread the seeds evenly on the seedbed, and then cover it with a layer of fine soil, which can be wrapped with transparent plastic, so that it can keep warm and moisturize. After the middle of April, small sprouts will appear. During this period, the humidity of the environment must be maintained. When the seedling grows to 30 cm to 40 cm high, it can be fertilized and transplanted in October.

Layering.

Breeding time: from mid April to mid May

Propagation method: the propagation method of layering is complicated, but it can solve some other problems of propagation limitation. Select the more robust, thick and upward growing lateral branches on the plants from 2 to 3 years. After cutting, peel off the outer skin at the bottom, about 3cm long. Then insert the branches into the soil and wrap the soil into a ball with plastic film. About June or so can grow new roots, but this period must maintain the moisture content of the soil.
