How to remedy magnolia root rot

1. Reduce watering

Reason: If the amount of watering is not well controlled and too much watering is done, water will accumulate at the roots. Long-term accumulation of water will cause root rot.

Solution: Reduce the amount of watering appropriately. As long as the soil is kept moist, there is no need to water. In summer, you can water twice a day. In spring and autumn, you can decide based on the moisture level of the soil. In winter, you should reduce watering and there should be no accumulation of water.

2. Reasonable fertilization

Reason: If you don't control the amount of fertilizer for magnolia, or apply high-concentration fertilizer, it will easily burn the roots and cause the roots to rot.

Solution: Reduce the amount of fertilizer appropriately, and do not apply fertilizer close to its roots. Keep it away from the roots of the magnolia. If the amount of fertilizer is too much, you can increase the amount of watering appropriately to allow the excess fertilizer to be discharged more quickly.

3. Change the pot in time

Reason: If the plant is not repotted for a long time, a lot of water will accumulate. Once water accumulates, the roots will easily rot. If the plant is not repotted for a long time, the soil will breed a lot of bacteria, which may harm the roots and cause root rot.

Solution: Repot the plant as soon as possible, disinfect the pot, and replace it with suitable soil. When repotting, cut off any rotten roots, then disinfect, rinse, dry, and replant.
