Can magnolia be placed indoors?

No.

The floral fragrance of magnolia is very strong, and if the ventilation in the bedroom is not very good, its floral fragrance will be difficult to dissipate and stay indoors for a long time. This may interfere with a person's sleep, so do not keep it in the bedroom. When raising it at home, you need to place it in a well-lit and well-ventilated location, and provide water in a timely manner to prevent it from lacking water.

When maintaining it, water needs to be provided in time. Because if it doesn't get water for a long time, it will have growth problems. However, be careful to only wet the flower soil when watering, and do not overwater.

Cultivation skills

1. Magnolia is a flowering tree species with both color and fragrance in early spring. When planting, it is necessary to grasp the timing, neither too early nor too late, so that it can germinate in early spring. It is most suitable to plant in the first 10 days or after the flowers fade and before the leaves unfold. When transplanting, regardless of the size of the seedlings, the roots need to be packed with mud, and care should be taken not to damage the root system. To ensure survival. Before planting, sufficient fully decomposed organic fertilizer should be applied as base fertilizer in the hole. After planting, seal the soil tightly and water it enough in time.

2. Fertilization

Magnolia likes a sunny and humid environment and is not suitable for growing in alkaline soil for a long time. For planting, it should be planted in a sunny, well-drained and fertile place that is sheltered from the wind. There should be sufficient water and fertilizer before flowering to promote large and fragrant flowers. There are not many magnolia branches. Except for dead branches, diseased branches and branches that disturb the shape of the tree, it generally does not need to be pruned.

If no seeds are left after the flowers fade, the fruits should be cut off to avoid consuming nutrients. Magnolia has strong cold tolerance and can survive the winter in the open field in North China and the southern part of Northeast China.

Magnolia flowers prefer fertilizer, but avoid large amounts of fertilizer. Applying fertilizer twice during the growth period can help flower buds differentiate and promote growth. Once applied in early spring, and again in May-June. Use fully decomposed organic fertilizer as fertilizer. Newly planted saplings do not need to be fertilized. Fertilizer should be applied after the leaves fall or in the following spring. The roots of magnolia are fleshy and cannot tolerate water accumulation.

It is advisable to keep the soil slightly moist during the flowering period. Watering should be reduced after autumn to delay the rooting of magnolia and promote the maturity of branches to facilitate overwintering. Generally do not water in winter, only water once when the soil is too dry.

3. Pruning

Magnolia branches have poor wound healing ability, so pruning is generally not performed. However, in order to maintain a reasonable tree shape, leggy branches, dead branches, diseased branches, and branches that hinder the appearance of the tree should still be pruned in the early stages of leaf expansion. In addition, after the flowers fade, if no seeds are left, the remaining flowers and follicles should be cut off to avoid consuming nutrients and affecting the next year's flowering.
