For potted white magnolia (Michelia alba), it is best to use acidic yellow loam soil, and pay attention to drainage and aeration. Watering is very important; when the soil surface looks dry, it needs watering, and it should be watered thoroughly. On rainy days, also prevent water accumulation in the pot. For watering, rainwater or river-pond water is best; tap water needs to be left to stand for 2 hours, and stagnant water stored for too long must not be used.

In summer, generally water once in the evening, but during the day, a little supplementary water should be given as needed; in midsummer at noon, if there is a shower, water immediately to lower the temperature. Fertilizing can be done on clear evenings when the soil is dry, by diluting the upper liquid from fully decomposed soybean cake, fish intestines, etc. 15 times, and the next day water thoroughly once.

Before moving indoors in autumn, cut off dead branches, leggy branches and overly dense branches, and spray 1~2 times with a 1000-fold dilution of dichlorvos or 0.3-degree lime sulfur mixture to prevent pests and sooty mold.

In winter, cover with a plastic bag to retain moisture and keep warm.
