Caring for magnolias All magnolias enjoy deep, rich soil that doesn’t get too dry. Prepare soil well before planting by digging in – to twice the width of the pot – plenty of organic aged manure or compost. Keep plants watered during dry weather but don’t let too much water sit around their roots. Mulch annually after flowering with a thick layer of organically rich material. Evergreen magnolias can be trimmed but, if possible, pruning should be avoided with most of the deciduous varieties. Feed with Dynamic Lifter Plus Flower Food and watch out for snails chewing on new growth (use Blitzem or Baysol pellets).
