My favorite dressing of the Decembrist for Lush bloom in autumn and winter
What could be better than gorgeous blooming flowers in autumn and winter, not cut, but live, grown by their own hands?
If you are wondering how to achieve a chic, literally blooming Decembrist look in the cold season, then, use the recommendations below, which I derived from scientific and botanical books and personal experience!
And to begin with, I want to warn you that in autumn and winter, nitrogen is the most harmful of all minerals for the Decembrist. In spring, it helps the plant to build up green mass, but at other times it inhibits flowering.
Another thing is potassium and phosphorus, as well as, ideally, another set of minerals, among which sodium, calcium, magnesium and others can be noted. But the first two - in the composition of fertilizers should prevail.
My favorite dressing for the Decembrist is applied not once, but in three successive stages, separated by intervals of 7-10 days.
To prepare the first composition, you must dilute 3 tablespoons of wood ash in 1 liter of water. The infusion must be kept for 7 days, every day - shaking the container with it a little so that the microscopic ash particles dissolve better. Then, you should simply use this water to water the Decembrist.
Ash not only nourishes the Decembrist, bringing it closer to a spectacular flowering, but also ensures the prevention of fungal, putrefactive diseases.
If the plant has recently been affected by pests or has become generally weakened, in addition to root feeding from ash, you can also spray it with it from a spray bottle.
The following recipe is made from an apple. You need to take a large fruit, cut into pieces, pour 2 liters of hot water and set aside for 2 days. This apple "cocktail" of the Decembrist can be watered even during the flowering period - to prolong it.
The last part of the feeding includes the usual iodine solution - 1 drop per 1 liter of water. It is unacceptable to increase the proportions, otherwise, in the "best" case, the flowers of the Decembrist will acquire an ugly yellowish tint, and at worst, the root system of the plant will receive burns, as a result of which decorating a home "garden" can generally perish.
In conclusion of the topic, I want to add that despite all the effectiveness of feeding, of course, for flowering the Decembrist needs to provide him with the basic necessary care - keep in a pot of a suitable size, on time loosen the soil.
