One simple but important feeding of daffodils immediately after flowering: advised by a knowledgeable neighbor. His front garden
Want to see an "improved" version of your favorite daffodils in your garden? Give the bulbous plant a simple top dressing IMMEDIATELY after flowering.
And again a fiery fireworks, fellow flower growers!
Narcissus - unfortunately, fell into the group of Cinderella plants. They work well and bloom without much attention from the owner. Hence, the gardeners add up deceptive impressionthat it is not necessary to feed them.
Say "Daffodils don't need grooming!" can only be those who have not seen really well-groomed daffodils. The difference between them and the colors left to themselves is very striking!
My visionary neighbor has become a fairy godmother for his front garden. His daffodils receive one top dressing every May. And, I give a grudge, his flowerbed with bulbous flowers near the house is the most beautiful in the village!
I, comrades, could not ignore this fact. Wanting to transform his daffodils, he asked head-on: "Fedya! And what are you feeding your daffodils with? Confess! "
And Fedka told me that the most important feeding of daffodils is coming one of these days, when the flowering ends. Right now, the bulbs will be sharing and planting flower potential for next year.
Comrade! Thanks to the simple but important feeding:
- Next year daffodil flowers will be larger and more colorful. All ornamental plants are arranged in such a despicable way that the brightness of the color of the petals and the size directly depend on whether the gardener spared the fertilizer or not.
- Daffodils grow faster.
Spring feeding of daffodils is especially important for varietal, terry daffodils. Without "doping" their varietal traits become less and less noticeable. Up to the treacherous transformation into "Normal".
Comrade! When the daffodil has faded, let the flower and peduncle dry out. This will transfer the nutrients into the bulb. In no case touch the leaves - they will feed the bulb for a long time due to photosynthesis.
And you scatter superphosphate and potassium sulfate (or other phosphorus and potassium fertilizers) on the wet ground. Lightly bury it in the ground (at the same time, you will loosen the soil!). The granules will gradually dissolve in the ground, and the onion will receive the macronutrients important during this period at the right time.
