White magnolia flowers in which month
Today, I will introduce to you when white magnolias bloom and some topics about the flowering time of white magnolias and other plants. Next, let me tell you about it.
White magnolias are a common flowering plant in the south, suitable for both potted and ground planting. Their flowers bloom between the leaves, with buds resembling the tip of a calligraphy brush. The flowers are white or slightly yellow, with thick petals and a long, lanceolate shape. The tree has an elegant posture and is highly ornamental. When in bloom, it emits a strong fragrance that refreshes the mood, making it a very popular flowering plant.
In many places, white magnolias bloom only once a year, with the flowering period around June each year. However, in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, with proper care, the flowering period of white magnolias can be quite long, with peak bloom in early summer and autumn. Even in the hot summer, they can bloom sporadically. Now that autumn is approaching, white magnolias are about to enter another peak flowering period. If the winter temperature is suitable, flowers can continue to bloom. So, how should white magnolias be cared for to achieve a second bloom with a higher number of flowers?
Firstly, the care environment,
Why are white magnolias common in the south? Because they prefer a warm and humid environment and are sensitive to low temperatures. Caring for them in the north can be challenging. When growing white magnolias in pots during the summer, it is necessary to provide shade and avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf damage and yellowing, and in severe cases, the branches can also be sunburned. In winter, they should be moved indoors to avoid frost damage, as temperatures below 5 degrees Celsius can harm the plants. During spring and autumn, they should be placed in a location with sufficient sunlight, as adequate light promotes better growth. Conversely, if the plant does not receive enough light during its growing season, it may become elongated without forming flower buds. The optimal growth temperature for white magnolias is around 25 degrees Celsius, so autumn is also their growing season, with a high probability of reblooming. To ensure successful reblooming, they should be moved to a location with sufficient sunlight in autumn.
Secondly, water,
White magnolias prefer a humid environment and are not drought-tolerant. If the potting soil remains on the drier side for an extended period, the plant may experience yellowing and leaf drop, and the stem may dry out. However, although white magnolias like moisture, they are not flood-tolerant. Excessive watering can lead to waterlogging and root rot. Watering is a challenge for white magnolias, similar to caring for the environment, divided into three situations: in spring and autumn, water when the top 2-3 centimeters of the soil surface are dry, and water thoroughly; in summer, water based on the soil condition. With high temperatures and vigorous foliage, water should be applied when the soil surface is dry, and water thoroughly.
After moving the plants indoors in winter, watering should be reduced. Water only when the soil is mostly or completely dry. With low winter temperatures, excessive watering can increase the risk of frost damage to the plant.

Thirdly, nutrients,
If you want the plant to rebloom, nutrients are essential. You can start by sprinkling a balanced compound fertilizer with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium on the soil surface. The fertilizer is fast-acting and more suitable for now. Use it every two weeks, sprinkling it directly on the soil surface, and the nutrients will be evenly absorbed during watering. Then, carefully observe the axillary parts of the plant. If you notice signs of flower bud growth, supplement with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers such as monopotassium phosphate or Flower多多 No. 2. Dilute 1200 times with water and apply both by spraying on the leaves and pouring into the roots. This promotes bud differentiation and allows white magnolias to produce more flower buds, with a more fragrant bloom.
