The difference between Mulan and Magnolia

The difference between Magnolia grandiflora and Magnolia grandiflora: different flower shapes and different flowering periods. The picture is as follows:

1, different flower shapes, petals and calyx of Magnolia grandiflora are difficult to distinguish, and the petals are often around 9. Some horticultural varieties of Magnolia grandiflora can be as many as 12- 15. Magnolia petals are white, and the base is often pink, which looks rectangular and obovate. However, there is a very obvious difference between the calyx and petals of Magnolia grandiflora. Generally, the number of calyx pieces of Magnolia grandiflora is 3, while the number of petals is 6. The petals are lavender outside and white inside.

2. The flowering period is different. Magnolia generally blooms earlier, gradually opens in February-March, and often blooms again in July-September. Mulan will not open until April-May. If you see a flower tree similar to Magnolia in early spring, you can basically judge that it is Magnolia. But the planting area will also affect the flowering period.

Mulan protection strategy

1, Soil: Magnolia likes fertile, moist and well-drained sandy soil, which is not tolerant to drought and alkali, and does not grow well on dry, alkaline earth and clay.

2, watering: Magnolia avoid drought, waterlogging, usually to ensure water supply, often spray water on the leaves, increase the air wet poison, so as to avoid yellow leaves falling.

3, sunshine: Magnolia likes light, slightly resistant to shade, so we should pay attention to lighting problems at ordinary times, so that Magnolia can fully accept the sun.

4. Temperature: Yulan likes warm and humid climate, and can also be cold-resistant, but if the temperature is low in winter, it is still necessary to move indoors for heat preservation.

5. Fertilization: Yulan likes to fertilize, so it should be fertilized in time. Fertilization should be applied 65,438+0 times before and after flowering, with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer as the main fertilizer. Every year, human decomposed compost should be applied in June, 438+00 ~ 65, 438+065 and 438+0, and available nitrogen fertilizer should be applied 2-3 times in bud and branching stage after flowering.
