How to repot magnolia? Detailed explanation of the correct method and steps

1. Choosing the time

The best time to repot magnolia is in April. When repotting, choose a pot one size larger than the original so its roots have enough space to grow.

2. Repotting method

When planning to repot, water around the edges of the pot one day in advance. This allows the soil to separate from the pot more easily. You can also dig out a ring of soil around the edge of the pot, then take the magnolia out together with the original potting soil. When repotting, you can cut off some old roots and rotten roots to help it grow new roots and promote the growth of new branches.

3. Precautions

When repotting magnolia, choose breathable and loose soil, preferably sandy soil. You can apply an appropriate amount of base fertilizer into the potting soil. After repotting, the first watering must be thorough. Usually, you can also spray water on its leaves.
