Maintaining Moisture Levels for Optimal Growth

Mulching and Its Benefits

One effective way to maintain consistent moisture levels for your Lily magnolia is through mulching. Applying a layer of organic mulch, such as wood chips or compost, around the base of the plant can help retain soil moisture, reduce soil temperature fluctuations, and suppress weeds. Aim to apply mulch to a depth of about 5 centimeters (2 inches) while keeping it a few inches away from the trunk to prevent rot.

Using Moisture Meters for Accuracy

For gardeners who want to be precise with their watering, using a moisture meter can be incredibly helpful. These devices measure the soil's moisture content and can guide you in determining when to water your Lily magnolia. Insert the moisture meter into the soil at various points around the plant's base, and water only when the readings indicate that the soil is starting to dry out.
