Care
White Fairy Magnolia® Care
Requires full sun to partial shade. Insufficient light will cause growth issues and leaf spotting.
Attempt to keep its soil slightly moist but not wet. Although it will handle drier conditions, it's suggested to water this magnolia in times of drought.
If growing as a container plant in zones colder than 7b, it's suggested to prevent exposing this plant to temperatures below 15°F by bringing it into a protected, heated area.
Plant in well draining soil. Do not plant in areas prone to waterlogging!
Year round fertilization is suggested if planting in containers. Ground planted magnolias should be given fertilizer after spring flowering has ended. Our slow release fertilizer is a great option.
Trim to shape as required, and to encourage a bushy growth habit. It's suggested to do most of your heavy trimming shortly after spring flowering has ended.
