This article introduces what the flower language of magnolia is and the explanation of the symbolism represented by magnolia in the aspect of green plants and flowers. Let's learn about it together.
Magnolia is a spring ornamental flower that blooms with purple flowers all over the tree in early spring, with graceful posture and unique charm. It can be planted alone or in groups in gardens. If accompanied by other white flowers such as hydrangea, smiling flower, or snow bell flower that bloom at the same time, it is even more striking. Introduction to magnolia bonsai: brave and fearless, elegant and noble!
The magnolia tree can grow up to about 5 meters tall. When the flowers bloom, they stand proudly on the branches, pure white and sacred. Since magnolia flowers bloom first and leaves start to grow after the flowers fade, the blooming magnolia tree is full of white flowers without any mixed colors, inspiring a sense of reverence. Therefore, the flower language of magnolia is a noble soul. People believe that magnolia represents the quality of bravery without fear and elegance.
Magnolia plants enjoy sunlight and are relatively shade-tolerant. They prefer warm and humid climates and can tolerate cold. They especially prefer fertile, moist, and well-drained sandy soil, but are not drought-tolerant and afraid of alkali. If planted in dry, alkaline, or clay soil, they may not grow well. The roots are fleshy and susceptible to waterlogging, with poor wound healing ability, making transplantation difficult. Magnolia has a strong tillering ability and can be propagated by division, layering, or cutting.
The transplantation of magnolia is usually done before the blooming period in spring or after the leaves fall in autumn. The young seedlings need to be transplanted with soil, while the larger ones need to be moved with a ball of soil. Magnolia loves fertilizer and can be applied with some manure as a base fertilizer every winter. After blooming, continue to apply some fast-acting nitrogen fertilizer during the germination and branching period. Additionally, during dry seasons, cover the root zone and water appropriately. The next year can result in abundant flowers and leaves.

So, how to care for a magnolia bonsai?
Firstly, it needs sufficient light and appropriate temperature: magnolia bonsai is especially suitable for growing in a sunny environment because sufficient light can make the plant not only have lush branches and leaves but also more flowers with a stronger fragrance. Magnolia can tolerate short periods of low temperatures and can overwinter in some areas. However, when the temperature drops below -20°C, necessary cold protection measures must be taken. Moreover, this flower is sensitive to temperature changes, and high temperatures can cause flowering to occur earlier.
Perform necessary pruning after the magnolia flowers fade and before the leaf buds sprout. Generally, it is not advisable to do extensive pruning because the branches of magnolia have poor healing ability and should not be pruned extensively. Only剪去 some dense or diseased branches. After pruning, maintenance is also required. Some healing or antiseptic film can be applied directly to the wounds caused by cutting. This film quickly forms a very tough soft membrane that closely adheres to the wood, protecting the wound and accelerating the growth of healing tissue.
