The magnolia tree is a well-known flowering species. This editor still remembers that magnolia trees were everywhere in this editor's elementary school. When they were covered in blooms, they looked beautiful. Pure white and fragrant. So what is the planting method for magnolia trees? What is the price of a magnolia tree? Let's take a look together below~
I. Planting method for magnolia trees
1. Planting environment
(1) In the midsummer of the first 1-2 years after the seedlings of seeded magnolias emerge from the soil, give them appropriate shade and do not expose them to scorching sun. After winter arrives, in northern regions, measures against wind and cold must also be taken for them
(2) When transplanting, do not damage its root system. When transplanting large seedlings, bring along their soil ball, dig a slightly larger hole, and water with fertilizer. Magnolias need to be planted deep to better favor their growth
(3) When transplanting, it can be done before its young buds break dormancy, or just after the flowering period when the flowers have faded, or before the leaves unfold.
2. Fertilizer and water management
(1) Watering
Summer is the vigorous growth period for magnolias. High-temperature weather and dry soil will both affect its nutrient absorption, causing malnutrition, and will also cause its flower buds to drop, affecting the next year's magnolia flowering. Therefore, irrigation should be taken seriously, especially in scenic areas, where it should be watered frequently to keep the soil moist.
(2) Fertilizing
In addition to paying attention to watering, fertilizing is also very important. If the soil is acidic, we should apply more phosphorus fertilizer to it. Applying fertilizer before and after the flowering period is a very important step. Fertilizing before flowering is to promote its flowering, and fertilizing after flowering is to let the magnolia produce more flower buds. The topdressing periods are February and May of that year.
3. Proper pruning
(1) Pruning should be chosen after flowering, or before a large number of young buds sprout, cutting off parallel branches, leggy branches, excessively dense branches, and diseased or dead branches
(2) When pruning branches, medium branches shortened by 15 cm and short branches generally do not need to be cut off. When pruning long branches, leave about 15 cm. Remember that the cut should be flat, because the healing ability of magnolia branches is relatively poor, so if pruning is not absolutely necessary, we generally do not prune it.
II. Price of magnolia trees
A magnolia tree with a diameter of 15 cm is: 1500 yuan each
