Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Stratification: Magnolia seeds require cold stratification to germinate. Place seeds in a moist medium (such as damp sand or sphagnum moss) inside a plastic bag and refrigerate for 3-4 months.
Cleaning: Before stratification, soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours to soften the seed coat and remove any pulp residue.

Sowing:

After stratification, plant seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep in a well-draining seed starting mix.
Use pots or seed trays with drainage holes to avoid waterlogging.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy.
Maintain a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) for optimal germination.
Germination can take several weeks to a few months, so be patient.

Transplanting:

Once seedlings have at least two sets of true leaves and are sturdy enough to handle, they can be transplanted.
If planting outdoors, ensure all danger of frost has passed.
Space seedlings 10-15 feet apart (for smaller varieties) or 20-30 feet apart (for larger varieties).

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Water young trees regularly to establish a strong root system. Mature magnolias are relatively drought-tolerant but benefit from regular watering during dry spells.
Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the tree to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. Keep mulch away from the trunk to prevent rot.
Pruning: Prune magnolias after flowering to remove dead or damaged branches and to maintain shape. Avoid heavy pruning, as magnolias do not respond well to severe cuts.
Winter Protection: In colder climates, protect young trees from frost damage by wrapping them with burlap or using tree guards.

Happy gardening!
