The best way to cultivate magnolia is to use fertile and well drained soil, with proper amount of water, and the basin soil should not be too wet. Give it enough light, more than 6 hours a day, and timely fertilization to ensure adequate nutrients. Propagation can be done by grafting and layering, in addition to the prevention and control of common diseases and insect pests.

I. breeding environment

1. Soil: it is best to use fertile and well drained soil for cultivation of Magnolia.

2. Water content: water properly. The basin soil should not be too wet, or its leaves will turn yellow or even fall off. In the hot summer, you can water once in the morning and evening, and spray water around appropriately, so as to increase the humidity in the air. When it rains too much, basin soil should not have ponding, or it will rot, and drainage measures should be taken in time

3. Light: the growth of Magnolia needs sufficient light. If it is cultured in a cool place for a long time, it will be difficult to bloom. Every day to give it more than 6 hours of light, but in summer to properly shorten the time of light and avoid direct sunlight.

4. Fertilization: Magnolia likes fertilizer, because it has a large amount of flowers and a long flowering period, so it is necessary to apply fertilizer in time to ensure sufficient nutrients. During May October, apply fertilizer every 5-7 days, generally based on P and K fertilizer. Pay attention not to apply raw fertilizer, or it may burn roots.

2. Breeding methods

1. Grafting propagation: it's better to wrap the mud on the main branch after the plant is 70 cm above the ground, and wrap it with leaves, and then cut it off in about two months.

2. Layering propagation: it's better to cut the pressed branches at half the depth needed during February March, then cut them upwards, put the tiles in the middle, slowly put the branches into the soil, and finally pile up the soil.

3. Common diseases and insect pests

1. Common diseases include root rot, yellow disease, etc. after the disease, the leaves should be removed in time, and then sprayed with carbendazim solution for control.

2. The common insect pests are scale insects and aphids. When aphids appear, they can easily get rid of the pests with cotton swabs stained with washing powder. Finally, clean the branches and leaves with clear water. Scale insects can be killed by spraying with acid vinegar.
