Two years we bought a young Magnolia x soulangeana. She was potted up last year into a larger pot using ericaceous soil, and will get a re-fresh using this same mix this week (will take out the top third and replace). She also gets a couple of slow release rose plant feeds a year too, and is regularly watered during the summer.
She looks perfectly healthy (image below is from late last summer - she's the green shrub in the terracotta planter by the fence, left), and her leaves are starting to come out now (thanks sunshine!).
Just wondering when this Magnolia might come into bloom? And whether she needs any extra care to encourage her to flower?

I did mix the ericaceous with normal MPC actually - just remembered. So will do that again. I'd like to get it in the ground eventually, I've just been putting it off because our ground is heavy clay and we've been focusing our digging energy on creating new raised veg beds. Maybe next year!
It's very well watered anyway but will keep at it. It rose feed right? I think it was someone at the garden centre who recommended it. It's the Toprose rose and shrub feed and I do it twice a year.
