How to deal with root rot in white magnolia? These rescue methods you need to master

I. Prevention methods

1. Reasonable watering

Cause: The roots of white magnolia are fleshy roots, so if you water too much, water will accumulate around the roots, and if there is standing water or a large amount of standing water for a long time, it will cause root rot.

Solution: Control the watering frequency and the amount of water; even if you water a little less, do not let water accumulate. As long as the soil can stay moist, there is no need to water. In the hotter summer, you can water a bit more, once in the morning and once in the evening. On rainy days, reduce watering to avoid making the soil too wet.

2. Moderate fertilization

Cause: Many flower growers know that during the growing season of white magnolia, sufficient nutrients must be ensured, but many people cannot control the amount of fertilizer well and easily overfertilize. Once too much fertilizer is applied, it will burn the roots and cause root rot. In addition, fertilizer with high concentration will also burn the roots.

Solution: Increase the amount of water so the excess fertilizer drains out, but do not let water accumulate in the pot soil, because too much standing water will also cause root rot. Usually fertilize in moderation, with small amounts applied frequently.

II. Rescue methods

When root rot is found, the plant should be taken out promptly, the rotten roots trimmed off cleanly, and then disinfected. The pot soil should also be replaced or the old soil disinfected, and finally it can be replanted. Place it in a ventilated and bright place, and do not let it be exposed to direct sunlight for a period of time.
