Kind of guessing here, but have you used fertilizer of any kind? Sometimes you can burn leaves. Spikes work best for container growing. Have you checked the underside of the leaves for pests? Could have picked something up being outside. IF there are arn of cottony looking spots clean with a mild dish soap and water solution. Can't think of anything else. Hope this helps MJ
Hi and thanks for the advise, i did feed it with a liquid rhododendrone- magnolia fertalizer,im thinking may it have been a bit too much that i added i did mesure it out. what is the best thing to do now as it is still producing leaves that havent gone brown (yet).. is there anything more known on this sort of magnolia?,thanks for all help.
