patio magnolia

Question

I bought a red magnolia that was sold as being able to grow on a patio in a pot , so not too high. I have had this one for 4 years and it has not flowered. It is perfectly healthy and is decidious but only produces leaves. It is in proper soil for magnolias.

Answer 1

You should fertilize this at least once per year. This is likely the cause if it doesn't get fertilized regularly. I would also add dolomitic lime to keep the pH stable. This can help it along as well.
