Water: Magnolias 'Ann' thrives in moisture-rich environments, requiring consistent hydration with twice-weekly watering for lush foliage. Higher humidity indoors enhances vitality. Its evergreen nature necessitates proper moisture levels year-round to maintain vibrancy, even outside the growing season.

Fertilize: Apply organic fertilizer to the base of magnolias 'Ann' in spring for nitrogen to support leaf development. Later, especially after heavy rain, use a potassium-rich fertilizer like potash in fall to replenish nutrients before dormancy.

Pruning: Magnolias 'Ann' thrives with early spring pruning before new growth. Key methods involve removing dead branches and shaping for airflow. Light thinning prevents overcrowding, promoting healthy growth and flowering, as endorsed by reputable horticultural sources.

Propagation: To propagate magnolias 'Ann', select a healthy, semi-hardwood stem and make a clean, angled cut. Dip the end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining, moist medium. Maintain consistent humidity and warmth to encourage robust root growth.
