Magnolias are striking flowering trees loved by gardeners the world over. Whether it's the large blooms of the native Magnolia grandiflora or the spider-like petals of Magnolia stellata, it is hard not to become magnolia-obsessed during spring. While they are generally low-maintenance, many gardeners often ask: should I fertilize magnolias?
The answer, as with most things, is a mix of yes and no. Magnolias in pots will certainly benefit from regular feeding during the growing season, but younger specimens - or those struggling to flower - can benefit from a nutrient boost, too.
