Peonies bloom - it's time to feed, to get a good bloom the next year
Hello, comrades!
You leave in the morning in the garden. The grass is still covered with dew, but feel that the day will be hot. Turn the corner, you walk along the path to the peony bush, shimmering in the rays of the early sun, and admire their terry cloth caps... You take a flower in both hands and enjoy its gentle scent...
Peony -pozhaluy, my favorite plant in the garden. Although, of course, each flower is good in its own way!
What did not make for the sake of such beauty. An important component of the care of a grateful peony - annual fertilization. "The ideal scheme" means 4 or even 5 fertilizer application procedures for the holiday season. But the most important - in the spring, as soon as the snow melted and the shoots began to reach for the sun, and now, during the flowering.
On the one hand, the peony has already spent a lot of effort (Read - the nutrients) in the build-up of leaves, buds and the dissolution of fine hats. It is necessary to make up for the lack of them. This is especially important if this year you have not fed peonies or did so only in the early spring.
On the other, we contribute to the flowering of the next year! If you think that after wilting buds peony leaves on a holiday, then you are wrong. Everything is much more interesting.
When peony fades, it becomes an important part of his life, that is an annual cycle of development. Under the ground, which does not penetrate the eye of passers-by gardeners and bush works, starting to form flower buds for next year. Therefore, fertilizing during flowering - a profitable horticultural contribution.
Important! For this reason, while it is impossible to cut the peony foliage. In the plant boil processes of life, and the destruction of the photosynthetic factory - direct way to to get sickly bush and see the full flowering.
When asked what to feed peonies after flowering, I give a definite answer: the complex granular fertilizer. It should be slightly nitrogen (N), the main task of which - the growth of leaves, to a greater extent - phosphorus (P), in whose competence - blooms, and potassium (K), which generally strengthens the health of the plants and directed works with underground part.
What kind of fertilizer you choose? In principle, it is possible to buy any with a suitable composition. But I have my favorite, which I will write below. Can you take the store shelf "diammofoska", for example, where nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium 10:26:26 respectively.
But I have many years of use complex granular fertilizer "For the Roses" or "Flower". Believe me, the marking of the particular type of plant does not make it unsuitable for the other, because it is just a marketing ploy. Look in the composition, there 8:20:30. Not bad!
But the main thing - besides the main macronutrients, the drug enhanced boron, manganese, molybdenum, sulfur and other trace elements nemaloznachimymi. Love peonies and a note was interesting?
