Seed reproduction

1 collect seeds

When the seeds are mature, you can collect them. Like most plants, the seed maturity of Magnolia officinalis is in a clear and crisp season. Generally, between October and November, the fruit of Magnolia officinalis will change from cyan to black purple, and crack to reveal the red fruit. At this time, you can pick the fruit, then expose it to the sun for about three days, and then take out the seeds. Screening can be carried out. As long as the dark black and full seeds are not selected for fear of trouble, it is OK to collect them all. Anyway, unqualified seeds will not grow seedlings

2 treated seeds

The collected seeds are placed indoors, piled up a little thicker, about 10 cm. Wait until the red appearance turns black, then soak in clean water, wait until two days later, start rubbing the skin of the seeds, wait until the skin is rubbed off, wash and dry them in a place without the sun. The dried seeds are cleaned with special disinfectant, and then stored in wet sand. Pay attention to the height, no more than half a meter, Check it all the time during storage. If the sand is too white, it means it is very dry. Water it and turn it over
