Watering should be moderate to keep the soil from drying out. Watering should be controlled in winter, and sprayed in moderation in summer to retain moisture and reduce temperature. Watering MicheliaMichelia has fleshy roots and cannot tolerate waterlogging. The soil in the pot should be kept moist at ordinary times, but never too wet.

If the situation is serious, you can use mancozeb wettable powder for spraying to prevent and control it.
