ADVICES

This shrub is best planted in a sunny position, sheltered from wind. The plant prefers fertile, fresh, humus soil, rich in nutrients and slightly acidic (pH of the soil: 5.0-6.0).

Magnolias cannot be allowed to dry out, and in the absence of rainfall it is necessary to supplement the shortage of water. It is recommended to mulch the ground around the plants. In addition, it is worth backing this up every so often with a complex fertilizer designed for plants that like acidic soil. In winter the roots should be protected by piling earth at the base of the plant, and a covering of agricultural fleece. It is not recommended to dig or compact the soil around the plant because of the shallow root system.
