Watering

Moderate regular watering, avoid prolonged drought and stagnant waterlogging

Fertilizing

Balanced perennial feed every four weeks spring through summer growth

Pruning

Magnolias usually need little pruning; remove dead, damaged or unwanted growth. For deciduous types, prune only between midsummer and early autumn. Free-standing evergreen types are pruned in spring as growth starts; wall-trained evergreen specimens are trimmed in summer, delaying cuts on flower-bud-bearing shoots until after flowering.

Propagation

Propagate by softwood cuttings or semi-ripe cuttings

Growing

Grow in moist but well drained neutral to acid soil in full sun or light shade with shelter from cold winds. Late frost may damage the flower buds. For more information see magnolia cultivation
