When purchasing Michelia, check the potting soil. If the soil is similar to a muddy, sticky consistency, once it dries, it is difficult to water thoroughly, and if the plant cannot absorb water, it can easily dry out and lose leaves. In the summer, it is necessary to water frequently. If the potting soil becomes completely dry and water is not replenished in time, it can easily cause yellowing and leaf drop.
2. It is not suitable to keep Michelia potted plants indoors for a long time. They should be placed on terraces or balconies for exposure to sunlight and rain. Watering can be done using the immersion method, which ensures thorough watering without leaving any part dry, preventing water deficiency and leaf drop.
Additionally, check if the pot has less soil. If so, add some soil, and each time you water, make sure to water thoroughly. Except for controlling water in winter, water should be supplied promptly in other seasons.
3. During the summer, when the sunlight is strong, Michelia needs to be shaded and protected from the sun. In spring and autumn, it is best to keep it in the sunlight, and only in summer is it necessary to shield it from direct sunlight. In winter, when the temperature is too low, it should be moved indoors for care. However, if the indoor temperature is too high and ventilation is poor, it is also not suitable. Keeping it at around 10 degrees Celsius in winter is more appropriate.
