Water: Magnolia coco thrives in humid, moist conditions and requires watering every 1-2 weeks to maintain consistent moisture. As a deciduous plant, it sheds its leaves annually to conserve water during dry seasons.

Fertilize: Apply organic fertilizer at the base of magnolia coco in spring for nitrogen to support leaf development. Later, if heavy rain occurs, utilize a potassium-rich fertilizer like potash in fall to restore nutrients before winter dormancy.

Pruning: Magnolia coco is an evergreen shrub with glossy leaves and fragrant flowers. Pruning should be done from early to late winter to shape the plant, remove damaged branches, and promote healthy growth. Clean tools are essential to prevent infection and aid healing.

Propagation: To propagate magnolia coco, use semi-hardwood stem cuttings from a healthy mother plant, treating the cut end with rooting hormone. Place in a well-draining medium, maintaining consistent moisture and high humidity under indirect light. Handle cuttings carefully and gradually acclimate them before transplanting.
