A detailed guide to watering magnolia through the four seasons: each season has its own requirements

1. Watering in spring

Spring temperatures are suitable, and this is the peak growing season for magnolia, when its water requirements are higher and the soil needs to be kept moist. So how often should magnolia be watered in spring? Under normal conditions, watering once every 2-3 days in spring is enough. Do not water too much; once the soil is completely soaked through, that is sufficient, and waterlogging must be avoided at all costs.

2. Watering in summer

Summer temperatures are high and water evaporates quickly, and this is also the peak growing season for magnolia, so the watering frequency must be increased. So how should magnolia be watered in summer? From summer to late autumn, it can be watered once a day, and the potting soil should be kept in a moist state. When the temperature rises above 30 degrees, the leaves should also be sprayed with water frequently to cool them down.

3. Watering in autumn

Autumn temperatures gradually drop, and at this time the plant's water requirements gradually decrease as well. So how often should magnolia be watered in autumn? In autumn, watering once a week is generally enough. But autumn is rather dry, so if the potting soil looks too dry, water a little more; just do not water excessively, and avoid letting the potting soil become waterlogged.

4. Watering in winter

Although magnolia is cold-hardy, it grows slowly in winter, so it does not need too much water at this time, but it still cannot go unwatered. So how should magnolia be watered in winter? In winter, wait until the potting soil is completely dry before watering. There is no fixed watering time; watering once every 20-30 days is enough.
