 How do I grow Michelias (Michelia alba, Michelia champaca, Michelia figo, etc.)? -
Michelias are a family of sub-tropical bushes or small trees related to magnolias that produce relatively small but powerfully fragrant flowers.
The fact that michelias are related to magnolias is an indicator of their nature: these are surface-rooted, acid-loving, second-story plants that want warmth and a lot of light, but limited direct sun.
Michelia's light requirements are somewhat complex: as much as they like lots of light and warmth, full sun-even at the coast-dries out their leaves and turns them an unpleasant yellowish green.

The distinction depended on slight or perceived differences in the flower position (pseudoaxillary for Michelia) or in the fruit (four seeds per carpel for Manglietia).
Recently, DNA sequencing and more detailed morphological studies of Michelia and Manglietia have convinced many taxonomists that there is no scientific basis for maintaining these genera apart from Magnolia.
In this magnolia, the gynoecium, or female part of the flower, extends well beyond the stamens and cup-shaped tepals (in magnolias, flower petals are generally referred to as tepals).

Some of their older leaves are yellowing and dropping off, though there’s new growth which is green and healthy.
THE leaves you sent showed no signs of pest or disease, so it looks as if the michelias are just taking time to settle in and recover fully from being planted out, which is quite common for this species.
Also worth bearing in mind is that many evergreens, including michelias, will lose some leaves as part of their normal annual cycle.

 RNZIH - Plant Doctor - Yellow leaves on michelia
Some of the leaves nearest the trunk are turning yellow and dropping off.
If the soil is very wet or the hole is waterlogged, then lack of drainage is the problem — a hole dug in heavy clay can sometimes just fill up with water and the new plant will “drown”.
If this is the case, dig a channel to drain water away from the hole or dig up your michelia and replant it, this time on a mound of good soil and compost raised 30-50cm above the normal soil level so excess water drains away.
