White magnolia, also known as white orchid, white缅甸flower,缅甸桂花, and white magnolia, is native to Indonesia and Java. It is an evergreen tree of the magnolia family, smile genus. The flowers of white magnolia are pure white and have a fresh fragrance, usually blooming between summer and autumn. The blooming period can last up to 5 months. The dark green leaves set off the white flowers, making them highly ornamental. Let's understand the planting methods of white magnolia.
1. Planting Time
For planting white magnolia, the best time is from September to October in autumn when the climate is relatively cool and dry, which is suitable for seed germination and promoting the growth and development after germination. Spring can also be chosen, but summer and winter should be avoided, as high or low temperatures are not conducive to seed germination and growth.
2. Seed Treatment
White magnolia flowers from April to September. After the flowers bloom, collect the seeds. Before planting, remove the unripe and incomplete seeds and soak the remaining seeds in wood ash water for 1 to 2 hours. After removing the softened seed coat, rinse them with clean water and let them dry on the side. Treated seeds germinate faster and have a higher germination rate.
3. Soil Preparation
White magnolia prefers slightly acidic soil that is well-drained, loose, breathable, rich in humus, and has a pH value between 5.5 and 6.3. You can mix decomposed leaf soil, bran ash, coarse sand, and base fertilizer to make cultivation soil. Since the soil in the north is alkaline, it is not recommended to use garden soil or other surface soil directly.
4. Sowing
After the seeds and soil are prepared, you can start sowing. Sprinkle the seeds evenly on the soil surface, gently cover them with a small amount of soil, and then water the soil thoroughly to complete the sowing.
5. Maintenance Management
After sowing the seeds, if using a flower pot, move it to a place with a little scattered light and warmth. If sowing in the ground, cover it with a layer of plastic film to keep warm. Whether sowing in a pot or on the ground, spray water to keep the soil slightly moist when it is dry.
