Magnolia x soulangeana 'Red Lucky'

Did a scrape test one is green the other not so sure about @pelly 🤔

The one on the left doesn’t look very promising Di, I would ring them up and tell them 👎👎

@pelly hi Jane I spoke with them and they have given me a refund on the dead one they had no others in stock.. Fingers crossed the green one will survive 🙄

What a shame they didn't have any more but at least you're getting your money back. I've got my fingers crossed for the other one too, I'm sure it will be fine 😘😍

My new additions are now Indoors don't think I can risk leaving them in summer house it's so cold.. Brrr

I'd do same too 😄

Look what arrived today... Bare roots in little bag.. Says soak for half an hr then plant... What shall I do with them? #advice not planting tonight. One is going in a pot.. Maybe I need to pot both for now? #Help

Probably best to pot them at the moment with the weather the way it is 👍🏻

I agree with @nessas especially with this weather Diane @Di007

I had to put mine in a pot because of the ericaceous soil which we don’t have..

@nessa they came in the brown bag behind them..

@jadojado29 @nessa @wagsmomthompsonbtinternet I gave a magnolia in the garden which is doing ok.. But think I read if your potting them put them in John innes no 3 mostly soil... Do you think if I pot them they can stay outside..? Or?.. Thanks 😊

A good soaking tomorrow Di I normally soak for about an hour then plant them in pots for now 👍🏻 and somewhere sheltered from the weather they will be fine and dandy 👍🏻☺️

Thanks @nessas sounds like a plan thanks for the advice 👍

If mine comes tomorrow at all least I know what to do now. I have some ericacious compost, but not enough. I need a trip to the GC anyway, so I'll have to pick some up Di. Thanks @nessas @jadojado29 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom 😊😊

@pelly has your magnolia arrived? Took me ages today shopping for pots (decided on potting them both for now) I soaked them for a couple of hours while I was out.. The man in the local gc said he has left standard plants soaking overnight @nessas anyway they are now in pots in summer house hopefully will be ok till this cold spell passes ❄

Yes I have left roses soaking overnight that looked dead that had been left in the shop for a couple of months they were reduced to 50p 😬 they now are thriving standard roses and bloom lovely in the summer it’s all about getting the moisture back into the roots yours will be fine 👍🏻 let me know how you get on with them ☺️

Will do.. Thanks @nessas 😘
