Frequently asked gardening related questions
Magnolias are generally quite pest-resistant. However, they can occasionally be affected by scale insects (which appear as small bumps on stems and leaves) or aphids, particularly on new growth. Minor infestations can often be treated by wiping them off or using a strong jet of water. For severe cases, consider organic insecticidal soaps. Slugs and snails might nibble young plants or emerging leaves.
