How to grow potted white orchid (Magnolia alba)? A detailed guide to cultivation methods

Watering: It has fleshy roots and is afraid of waterlogging, so water only when the soil has dried out completely, and water thoroughly; you can usually spray water on the leaves. Temperature: It is not cold-tolerant, so temperature must be controlled during care, especially in winter. The daytime temperature must not be lower than 12°C, and at night not lower than 6°C. Fertilizing: During the growing season, fertilize once every half month, mainly with decomposed cake fertilizer. Potting soil: The soil should have good air permeability, be loose and contain humus. Use a clay pot or a purple clay pot, which have better air permeability.

1. Watering

Its root system is fleshy and afraid of waterlogging. During care, do not water if the potting soil is not dry; when watering, water thoroughly and avoid waterlogging. You can usually spray water on the leaves more often, which not only replenishes water but also keeps the leaves clean, and is very beneficial to growth.

2. Temperature

It is not cold-tolerant and likes a warm environment. During care, pay attention to temperature, especially in winter, and move it indoors in time and keep it warm. Provide it with a temperature above 12°C during the day, and at night it must not be lower than 6°C, otherwise the plant will be frostbitten.

3. Fertilizing

It grows relatively fast and needs more nutrients. During the growing season, fertilize once every half month, preferably with decomposed cake fertilizer, and remember to apply light fertilizer frequently. In winter the temperature is relatively low and growth is slow, so no fertilizing is needed.

4. Potting soil

When growing in pots, choose loose soil with good air permeability that contains humus; you can mix it yourself or buy nutrient soil from a flower shop. The flower pot is usually a clay pot or a purple clay pot, which have relatively good air permeability and are more conducive to growth.
