Care: Magnolia requires fertile, slightly acidic, nutrient-rich soil. Due to its rather shallow root system, it should be planted not too deep in a substrate mixed with compost. Mulch with pine bark to a thickness of about 5 cm. It is advisable to fertilize with special fertilizers for acid-loving plants. It does not tolerate drought well, so regular and fairly abundant watering is necessary. Young plants should be covered and mound up for the winter; older plants do not require this.

Pruning: Magnolias do not tolerate pruning well. Only dry, dead shoots can be removed.
