However, that does not mean that when the temperature is below zero and the ground is frozen in January or February, you have to hack a hole in the ground. It makes more sense to choose a date at the beginning of November or the beginning of March when winter has not yet arrived or is already on the decline.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You might so like<\/strong>:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/when-do-magnolia-trees-bloom\/\">When Do Magnolia Trees Bloom: Flowering Time And Reasons For Missing Blossoms<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Planting_magnolia_the_right_location\"><\/span>Planting magnolia: the right location<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The location is of course largely a question of the variety. However, there are a few general rules:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The magnolia likes the sun very much. It doesn&#8217;t have to be full sun, a little shade over the day doesn&#8217;t hurt at all. Some species tend to frost cracks in winter when the ground is frozen and the winter sun heats up vigorously. They include, for example, the popular tulip <em>magnolia<\/em> (Magnolia x <em>soulangeana<\/em> ). It is better to plant such species in a sunny north-facing location, where temperature fluctuations in winter are significantly lower. An exception is <em>Magnolia siboldii<\/em>, which likes shade rather than too much sun.<\/li>\n<li>The magnolia finds moist earth wonderful. Soils that tend to become waterlogged should be provided with a drainage layer when planting.<\/li>\n<li>A location protected from the wind is the right thing for the magnolia. Some varieties, especially large-flowered magnolias, need a little more wind protection than others.<\/li>\n<li>Give your magnolia enough space. The plants get quite old and can only develop splendidly if they have enough space. You should plan at least five to eight square meters for a tree.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\" \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/3a4915cd14492eb54f9013ed2711f7c8.jpg\" alt=\"Magnolia plants: professional tips for the right time &amp; location\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Procedure_for_planting_a_magnolia\"><\/span>Procedure for planting a magnolia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Planting magnolia trees should be approached carefully. So that the plant thrives well, it is worth preparing a suitable starting hole for it. Dig a large planting hole. It should be about twice as high and twice as wide as the root of the plant. This loosens the surrounding soil sufficiently.<\/p>\n<p>Magnolias need a pH between 5.5 and 6.8. The milieu should therefore be in the acidic range. You can do this by placing a sack of peat soil in the planting hole and mixing it with a good part of the excavated material in the hole. Unfortunately, bog soil contains a lot of peat, which is why it tends not to be recommended for environmental reasons.<\/p>\n<p>Now place the root ball in the hole and arrange the whole thing so that the soil mixture is distributed around the root ball. However, do not pile earth around the trunk, because the tree should not be set any deeper than it was previously underground. Then you can press the soil lightly and water it abundantly. Although the magnolia likes to have sun on top, it likes it cool and damps at the roots &#8211; a thick layer of bark mulch helps. Later, when the magnolia has grown well, a ground cover around the trunk is also suitable as good protection.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\" \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/8e34cfa6b4c8730fdb49534810ced79a.jpg\" alt=\"Magnolia plants: professional tips for the right time &amp; location\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Summary planting magnolia:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball<\/li>\n<li>Mix the excavated hole well with acidic peat earth<\/li>\n<li>Place the root ball in the hole and fill it with soil mixture<\/li>\n<li>Never set the tree lower than it was previously planted<\/li>\n<li>Press down the planted tree lightly and water it well<\/li>\n<li>Put bark mulch around the plant<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>You might so like<\/strong>: <a class=\"yoast-link-suggestion__value\" href=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/planting-pear-trees\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Planting Pear Trees: Instructions And Tips From The Expert<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Care_for_magnolia_after_planting\"><\/span>Care for magnolia after planting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After planting, the magnolia does not need any further care. The following year the plant copes well with the nutrients it has received. You are doing too much harm rather than good. If you planted the plant in a dry autumn, it will of course need water at the beginning &#8211; so in this case water now and then. The same applies to a dry spring.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as the magnolia is a little older, it should be fertilized every spring. Compost or primarily organic long-term fertilizers in organic quality such as our Plantura organic universal fertilizer are ideal for this.<\/p>\n<p>You can find out more about <a href=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/fertilize-magnolia\/\">fertilizing and cutting magnolias<\/a> here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The magnolia tree can only blossom if it is in the right place.
