How to feed phlox in the garden to bloom abundantly

Welcome gardeners!

Phlox, scented pets, decorate their flowering summer flower beds. Caring for a decorative plant, loved for large caps and bright, very simple and not difficult for each newcomer. But if you want to encourage the bush to abundant flowering, take care of serving, wards - dressing to taste and time.

This article details the sign for a full schedule of phlox fertilizers. I made it on the basis of the literature and personal experience. Someone might scare amount of fertilizing. Immediately noticed: I am in no case I do not insist that they have to make sure it all. Therefore, I will remark: what is preferable and what is secondary (but effectively!).

It is interesting: Each grade has its own time phlox blossom. Some bloom in late June, and the other decorated with an autumn garden, starting only in autumn. Choose plants that you can get a continuous flowering fragrant floksary

Schedule fertilizing phlox in the year of gathering snow until the end of the season

During the growing season phlox fed five or six times. Fertilizing perform root and foliar ways.

The first - the traditional method when the power is introduced into the plants root zone as liquid fertilizer or fertilizing scatter in dry form, and then buried in the soil and its abundantly watered. Foliar feeding makes the leaves from a watering can or sprayer. In this case, reduce the dose of fertilizer.

A source"Phlox" landscape designer Elena Konstantinova. The author believes that with proper farming techniques phlox transform the garden!

Of course, my head does not come to fertilize perennials in the country 6 times a year. Not because I consider it unnecessary - I have no doubt in the author's competence. But I do not have much time :) so choose the most important thing.

First fertilizing phlox held in the spring when the snow melts and phlox "wakes up." I scattered on the ground around phlox pellets NPK 10:10:10. Such fertilizer contains at once all the macronutrients needed for the development and the roots and leaves, inflorescences and future.

important Notice: There is no need to close up strongly pellets into the ground. Phlox paniculata have superficial root system: the main part is located at a depth of 3-15 cm. Therefore, granules, dissolving after watering or rain, reach the roots.

The second top dressing phlox falls in the middle of June (early varieties) or end (for pozdnetsvetuschih). Now I am doing an emphasis on potassium and phosphorus. I always take complex mineral fertilizers "for flowering" in the granules, there has been calculated dosage and a good squad. You can use the 10 g of superphosphate and potassium sulphate or other phosphorus-potassium fertilizer.

People's choice - a glass ash. It can be powdered soil or dissolve in 10 liters of water to shed floksary solution. Very useful if you have acidic soil.

The third feeding (It's not even really dressing) I'm doing before hibernation. By the way, in the winter phlox not hide - the layer with good snow they can survive and frost -35 ° C. But crumbled under every bush a few crystals of copper sulfate - for disease prevention.

I also periodically spray the bushes phlox from June until the end of flowering liquid fertilizer on the sheet. I not particularly worried, so I use the same means as for indoor plants. Composition something suitable!

The main feeding - the first, in the early spring. So we lay the foundation for the growth and flowering all season. Love phlox and the article was interesting? Please click the "Thumbs up!" Thanks. Also I offer even read about Phlox: Flowering phlox: what it depends on, and how to influence
