How to rescue a magnolia with root rot? Teaching you the correct way to handle it

1. Reduce watering

Cause: If the amount of watering is not controlled well and too much water is given, water will accumulate at its roots, and long-term water accumulation will lead to root rot.

Solution: Reduce the amount of watering appropriately. As long as the soil stays moist, there is no need to water. In summer, water 2 times a day; in spring and autumn, decide based on how moist the soil is; in winter, reduce watering and do not let water accumulate.

2. Fertilize reasonably

Cause: If the amount of fertilizer given to the magnolia is not controlled well, or a high-concentration fertilizer is applied, it will easily burn the roots, and the roots will rot as a result.

Solution: Reduce fertilizing appropriately. When fertilizing, do not get close to its roots; stay some distance away from the magnolia's roots. After too much fertilizer is applied, increase the amount of watering appropriately so that the excess fertilizer is flushed out more quickly.

3. Repot in time

Cause: Not repotting for a long time will produce a lot of water accumulation. Once water accumulates, its roots rot very easily. Not repotting for a long time will also cause the soil to breed many bacteria, which may harm the roots and lead to root rot.

Solution: Repot as early as possible, disinfect the flower pot, and replace with suitable soil. When repotting, cut off the rotted roots, then disinfect them, rinse them clean, let them dry, and replant.
