There are many other names for this plant, such as Michelia plum, banana flower, etc. Do you know why it is called Michelia? Look at its pictures and see its flowers. Do you think of smiling faces? Its flowers can also send out a fragrance, which makes it very popular. Its flowering period is undoubtedly the most important period, and it also needs special maintenance after flowering. So, what do we need to do?

1. Specific period

The specific flowering period of this kind of plant is from March to may, so after May, it has bloomed.

2. Specific measures

(1) fertilization: during flowering, plants will consume a lot of stored nutrients. However, after flowering, it will enter a stage of vigorous growth. So, after flowering, we'd better supplement it. Generally speaking, fertilizer with rich P and k elements should be applied after flowering. In this way, it is not only conducive to later growth and development, but also conducive to the next flowering.

(2) pruning: This is a very important step, if not carefully, the plant is likely to suffer from diseases and insect pests. Therefore, we will cut off its withered and diseased branches. In addition, too long branches also need to be cut off. In this way, the popularity between branches will increase, and the area under light will also increase, which is more conducive to the next year's flowering. In addition, in order to beautify, it can also be trimmed according to the overall shape. However, pay attention to the need to apply some medicine to the cut.

(3) soil loosening and weeding: if the soil is caked, it is likely to cause breathing difficulties at the root of the plant. So we need to loosen the soil. In addition, weeds around may be predatory, so they need to be removed.

(4) prevention and control of diseases and insect pests: the period after flowering is a good time to prevent diseases and insect pests. If found, we must use the liquid medicine in time for prevention and treatment.
