How to care for your Magnolia Susan

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Fertilising: Magnolia Susan 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.
  • 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 Susan will thrive and bring beauty and fragrance to your garden for years to come.
