It is now two years old and I mulch every autumn but only one bud appears and does not open properly

Is your soil acidic? If not that could be the problem... Position too if it gets frosted. What are you mulching with?

Motinot trees really prefer to be in the ground if poss. rather than a pot...

Some Magnolias wait for a few years before they decide to flower, I'm afraid. You will have to be patient. I agree with Moon grower - pots are not for Magnolias!
