Last Updated: 2024/11/22, First of all, pay attention to the time, it is best before and after the Qingming Festival, every time the basin is changed, the basin is bigger than before. Before changing the basin, you can water its surroundings or dig a circle of soil with Juglans mandshurica to help it get rid of the old or rotten roots, and then move it to the new basin.

1. Time

If you want to change the basin, you'd better wait until Qingming Festival to move it out of the house and choose the basin according to the size of the tree. if it is the first time, you can use a basin with a diameter of 40 centimeters, and you can use a jar or a higher bucket for the last time. Generally, the basin is changed every two years. If the tree is relatively large, it can be changed only once every three or four years. The shape of the basin should be enlarged every year. When it grows to more than two meters high, it only needs to change the soil instead of changing the basin.

2. Before changing the basin

If you want to change the basin, you have to water the sides of the basin the day before, which can help the soil in the basin to break away from the original basin, or you can dig out the soil on the edge of the basin and take out the original soil together with Magnolia. Shovel a circle of soil around it with Rowan, grab it with one hand, dump the basin slowly, push the soil with your hands through the vents, and remove some old or rotten roots, which can help it grow new branches and bloom more flowers. and then move it to the new pot.

Matters needing attention

When changing the basin, cover the drainage hole at the bottom of the basin with tiles and cover it with some rough stones to help it drain and breathe. Then put the culture soil to it, the soil only needs to cover its root neck, and the soil on the surface should be three or four inches away from the mouth of the basin.

The soil should be loose and breathable, preferably sandy and acidic. If alkaline soil or water is used, it will not grow well or even die. It can be planted with a mixture of bone powder, garden soil, rotten leaves, etc. Water it thoroughly, support it with discarded pillars, prevent it from being blown down by the wind, and shade it with something.

In the meantime, keep the soil wet, but don't water too much, or the roots will rot. After changing the basin, you must water it thoroughly for the first time, and you must wait until it is dry and then water it for the second time. You can usually spray water on the leaves. If you bought the magnolia from somewhere else, you should prune it first, and then pot it immediately. Don't remove the original soil from the root. Wait for it to recover, and then let it receive light.
