How to care for Michelia figo in Perth
Sunlight: Full sun to part shade. Morning sun with protection from Perth's harsh afternoon summer heat is ideal.
Soil: Moist, fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Avoid waterlogged soil.
Watering: Water regularly while establishing. During hot, dry Perth summers, provide deep watering as needed.
Fertilising: Apply a slow-release fertiliser suitable for acid-loving plants in spring.
Pruning: Lightly trim after flowering to maintain a compact, bushy shape.
Mulching: Apply organic mulch to retain moisture and keep roots cool, leaving space around the trunk.
Planting process
Choose a sunny or partly shaded position protected from hot, drying winds.
Dig a hole approximately twice as wide as the root ball, but no deeper.
Gently remove the plant from its 10 L nursery pot without disturbing the roots unnecessarily.
Position the plant at the same soil level as it was growing in the pot.
Backfill with improved soil, water thoroughly and apply mulch.
Monitor soil moisture regularly during the first summer.
Landscaping importance
Fragrant garden: Plant near entrances, patios, outdoor seating areas or windows to enjoy its sweet fragrance.
Privacy screening: Its dense evergreen foliage makes it suitable for informal hedges and garden screening.
Feature planting: Use as a specimen shrub in front gardens, courtyards and ornamental garden beds.
Container gardening: A good option for larger decorative pots on patios and verandas.
Formal gardens: Responds well to light trimming, making it suitable for neat, structured landscaping.
