These trees prefer full sun, but can tolerate some shade and are adaptable to just about any soil as long as it is well-draining. Crape Myrtles do enjoy a slightly acidic soil with a pH range of 5.0 or 6.5 being ideal, but as long as your soil isn't extremely alkaline there is no need to modify it. Mulching with a 2-3 inch layer of pine straw or pine bark is ideal for crape myrtles. Do not allow the mulch to touch the trunk as these increases the chances of pests and disease. Mulching helps keep soil moist and protects roots during temperature extremes. Crape Myrtles should be watered deeply about 2 times per week after planting for about 3 months. After this establishment period, water deeply about once weekly when conditions are dry. Crape Myrtles are drought tolerant once established. Fertilize in early spring and when planting to give your tree a boost and help it achieve the best blooms. Choose a balanced, slow release fertilizer. If you know your soil is on the basic side choose a fertilizer that is for acid loving plants. Crape Myrtles do not generally require pruning, but if needed, prune when they are dormant to remove any dead, dying, or crowded branches. Avoid the need to over prune your tree by choosing a variety that fits best in your chosen spot. You can choose a variety that is only 5 feet tall up to varieties that grow over 30 feet tall. Magic series Crape Myrtles grow up to 10 feet tall and wide.

Minor infections aren't likely to cause problems, but a severe infection can weaken your tree. You can treat aphids naturally with horticultural oil, neem oil, or insecticidal soap. For severe infections use pesticides like carbaryl, also known as Sevin. The Magic series crape myrtles are extremely resistant to Powdery Mildew and other diseases.

STEP 1) First, decide on a planting location. Consider carefully what kind of sun, soil, and growing-space your tree or shrub will need.
STEP 2) Once you've located the perfect spot, the hole you are digging must be at least double the width and as deep as the root system you are planting.
STEP 3) Remove the plant from the pot and place the root ball in the hole. The top of the root system should be level with the ground. Before placing the tree or shrub in the hole, use your hands to gently break up the root system.
STEP 4) Once the plant is in place, backfill the hole with native soil and any leftover potting material.
STEP 5) Pack down the soil to eliminate any air pockets.
STEP 6) When finished, water thoroughly.

To help crape myrtles retain water, mulch with organic matter 2-3 inches deep, making sure to keep mulch a few inches away from the trunk. Water regularly until established. Remove dead branches any time and prune weak branches back in the spring in order to encourage a strong and productive tree.

The Magic Series from First Editions is a selection of intermediate size crape myrtles that is highly resistant to disease, delivering shining healthy foliage and blooms all summer long.

Reviews for "Captivating Gardens with Lagerstroemia Coral Magic: Inspiring Ideas for Every Season"

1. Sarah - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Lagerstroemia coral magic plant. Despite following all the care instructions, the plant never seemed to thrive and eventually died after a few months. The leaves were constantly drooping, and there was no sign of new growth. I had high hopes for this plant, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations.

2. Mike - 1 star - I have tried several Lagerstroemia coral magic plants, and none of them have lasted more than a few weeks. The plants arrived looking healthy, but they quickly started losing their leaves and developed brown spots. I provided proper care, including the right amount of water and sunlight, but nothing seemed to help. I'm really disappointed with the quality of these plants and would not recommend them to others.

3. Emily - 3 stars - While the Lagerstroemia coral magic plant looked beautiful initially, I found it to be high-maintenance and difficult to keep alive. It requires constant monitoring and a specific watering schedule, otherwise, it starts wilting. Even with my best efforts, the plant didn't last more than a few months. If you're a beginner or looking for a low-maintenance plant, I would suggest considering other options.
