How to care for your Magnolia Stellata Rosea

1. Planting: Prefers well-draining soil and a sunny or partially shaded location. When planting, be sure to space the plants appropriately to give them room to grow.
2. Watering: Water regularly, making sure the soil stays moist but not waterlogged. Avoid getting water on the leaves, as this can lead to fungal problems.
3. Fertilising:Benefits from a balanced fertiliser applied once a month during the growing season. Make sure to follow the instructions on the fertiliser package, as over-fertilising can damage the plant.
4. Pruning: Pruning is generally not necessary, but if you need to shape, do so after the blooms have faded. Prune back only the oldest branches to promote new growth.

With proper care, your Magnolia Stellata Rosea will thrive and bring beauty and fragrance to your garden for years to come.
