It can also be planted in neutral soil. It is not resistant to dryness and barrenness, and is not resistant to waterlogging. How to grow MicheliaMichelia is suitable for planting in loose, fertile, acidic soil. It should be kept in a place with scattered light and not placed in direct sunlight. 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.

During its growth period, it can be applied with decomposed fertilizer once every half a month. It can be applied with decomposed cake fertilizer, bone meal, chicken and duck manure, fish intestines and other fermented fertilizers mixed with water.

Michelia disease and pest controlThe main diseases of Michelia are leaf blight, anthracnose, algal spot, sooty mold, etc., all of which harm the leaves. The diseased leaves need to be cut off, burned in a concentrated manner, and then sprayed with appropriate pesticides for treatment. To prevent leaf blight, 0.3% lime sulfur mixture can be sprayed once every half a month in early spring. If the situation is serious, you can use mancozeb wettable powder for spraying to prevent and control it.
