Root space & plant care
Magnolia Compost in everyday use
Which plant is it for?
Design with suitable plants
Choose magnolias by species, mature size and hardiness. Minimise disturbance to their sensitive fleshy roots and water the root area responsively. Their natural crown generally requires only restrained pruning.

Composition & nutrition
For new root space
Ready-to-use compost for magnolias. The space around the root ball determines the amount required.
Details & background
See the product information for the full composition and nutrient declaration. Account for the existing nutrient supply before adding further fertiliser.
Repotting in eight steps
Handle roots gently
Preserve the root ball, retain its planting level and fill around it gently.
-
Choose a lasting magnolia position
Allow for eventual crown width and a suitable sheltered position. Select a compact species or cultivar for container growing.
-
Prepare the planting space
Loosen garden soil; choose containers with clear drainage holes. Allow suitable additional root space around the ball.
-
Release the root ball gently
Unpot the magnolia carefully and preserve the root ball as far as possible. Do not tear or unnecessarily shorten fleshy roots.
-
Loosen the compost
Loosen the ready-to-use medium and add a base layer. Account for existing nutrients rather than automatically adding starter fertiliser.
-
Retain the planting level
Position the root-ball surface at its previous level. Do not bury the root collar or crown deeply; leave watering space in containers.
-
Fill around the sides
Fill gaps with compost and firm lightly. Stabilise the plant without heavily compressing the medium.
-
Water in slowly
Water slowly to settle the compost against the root ball. Allow excess water to drain completely from containers.
-
Support establishment
Review nutrient needs no later than four weeks after planting and feed actively growing plants with a suitable fertiliser. Check root moisture regularly and adapt continued care to species and cultivar.
Ongoing plant care
Choose magnolias by species, mature size and hardiness. Minimise disturbance to their sensitive fleshy roots and water the root area responsively. Their natural crown generally requires only restrained pruning.
Frequently asked questions
Is this peat-free?
No. The mix contains high-moor peat and the other ingredients listed in the product information.
