Many friends in Shanghai know about magnolia trees, as white magnolia is the city flower of Shanghai. White magnolias usually bloom in spring and only once a year, which makes them quite precious. Therefore, many elderly people in Shanghai call white magnolias "spring announcers," and they are also known as "waiting-for-spring flowers" in folk.
White magnolias are mostly used for garden appreciation, community green belts, or even in home courtyards, which are all very suitable. When white magnolias bloom, their petals spread out in all directions, making them look dazzlingly white from a distance and very beautiful to admire. The flowers emit a faint fragrance that is refreshing when inhaled closely. Seeing this, do many flower lovers feel an urge to act? Don't worry, today we will talk about what methods can help our white magnolias extend their blooming period so we can enjoy them for a longer time.
1. Planting Time
If you want white magnolias to have a relatively long blooming period, the first thing we need to do is plan their planting time reasonably. We can plant them when they bloom in spring or after the leaves fall in autumn. When planting, do not remove all the soil from the roots, it's best to keep some soil balls around the roots, otherwise, the roots can easily be damaged during planting. We also need to trim the old roots and remove excess branches and leaves, which can reduce the loss of extra nutrients.
2. Sufficient Sunlight Exposure
Any plant needs sunlight exposure, and white magnolias are no exception. Sufficient sunlight can help white magnolias grow and is also beneficial for extending their blooming period. Another benefit of sunlight exposure is that it makes the flowers of white magnolias more fragrant.
3. Reasonable Fertilization
Nowadays, many friends know to fertilize their plants, which is very good. However, fertilization should be based on their needs. When fertilizing, we should first remove weeds from the surface of the pot to reduce nutrient loss. Then, we should not use concentrated fertilizer, as this can burn the roots. We can only apply a thin layer of fertilizer frequently.

4. Reasonable Watering
Many friends are worried about watering their plants, either watering too much today or not watering in time yesterday. In fact, watering white magnolias doesn't need to be too urgent. We can use the method of observing the potting soil to water reasonably. When the surface of the potting soil is relatively moist, we can temporarily stop watering. If it's dry, we can water it. After watering, we need to place the white magnolia in a well-ventilated and shady place, which can effectively reduce the situation of root rot from excessive watering.
5. Reasonable Pruning
Since we are maintaining white magnolias for appreciation, pruning is essential. Reasonable pruning of excess branches and leaves not only gives us a beautiful white magnolia shape but also reduces nutrient loss, which is very important for extending the blooming period.
