Magnolia flowers are loved by people for their beautiful flower posture and rich fragrance. Through cuttings propagation, we can more easily cultivate new magnolia plants and continue their beauty. However, in order to successfully propagate magnolia flowers by cuttings, it is necessary not only to have an in-depth understanding of plant physiological characteristics, but also to master scientific operation steps and maintenance skills. This article will provide you with a detailed analysis of the magnolia flower cuttings process to ensure that your cuttings can be carried out smoothly and improve the survival rate.

Shoot selection: Select healthy, pest-free and pest-free annual semi-lignified shoots as cuttings, and the branches should be thick and with bud points, and the length should be about 10-15 cm. The incision should be smooth and as close to the node as possible to facilitate the effective transfer of water and nutrients.

Shoot treatment: The bottom of the cut branch is obliquely cut at an angle of 45 degrees to increase the water absorption area; Keep 1-2 leaves at the top and cut off half or two-thirds of the leaves to reduce transpiration. After treatment, rooting powder can be used to soak the base of the shoots for 30 minutes to several hours to stimulate rapid rooting.

Cutting mediumMagnolia flower cuttings are suitable for using media with good air permeability and strong drainage performance, such as perlite, vermiculite, river sand and other mixtures, and you can also choose special soil for flower cuttings on the market. Media should be sterilized in advance to kill potential germs and eggs.

Cuttings containers: Use transparent plastic cups, disposable plastic cups or seedbeds, and it is better to keep the medium moist and not waterlogged. There should be enough drainage holes at the bottom of the container to ensure that excess water can be drained smoothly.

Fill the medium: Fill the prepared cuttings medium into the container, about 2 3 heights, and then gently poke a small hole in the medium with a bamboo skewer or finger, the depth is slightly greater than half the length of the branch.

Insert the shoots: Carefully insert the treated magnolia shoots into the pre-made small holes, making sure that the part of the lower end of the shoot that is in contact with the medium is well covered and that the upper end of the leaf side is facing up.

Moisturizing and keeping warm: Place the cuttings of magnolia shoots in a well-ventilated environment with sufficient scattered light to keep the medium slightly moist but not waterlogged. Appropriate insulation measures can be taken in winter, and in summer, it is necessary to avoid direct sunlight and high temperature environment, and maintaining a suitable temperature (generally 20-28) is conducive to rooting.

Humidity control: At the beginning of cuttings, a high air humidity can be maintained by spraying and other methods to prevent the leaves from losing water due to excessive evaporation. With the gradual formation of the root system, the humidity can be appropriately reduced to avoid the occurrence of diseases caused by long-term high humidity.

Lighting adjustment: Providing sufficient scattered light helps the leaves to photosynthesize, promote rooting and growth. As the root system develops, the intensity of the light can be gradually increased, but it is important to avoid the scorching sun.

Transplant at the right time: When new leaves are observed on the magnolia branches and the roots are clearly seen, the cuttings are successful, and transplanting them into larger pots can be considered at this time, and the planting can be carried out with loose and fertile soil to enter the normal maintenance stage.

The key to the success of magnolia flower cuttings propagation lies in the careful control and careful care of each link. Only by deeply understanding the physiological needs of plants, reasonably selecting and processing cuttings materials, and creating a suitable growth environment, can magnolia flowers glow with vigorous vitality in the process of cuttings, and eventually grow into healthy and beautiful plants and bloom their unique charm.
