Using a complex fertilizer specifically for hydrangeas.

 To feed hydrangeas with complex fertilizers, you need to follow several rules. It is important to use fertilizers developed specifically for hydrangeas or containing the necessary macro- and microelements in the right proportions. It is better to feed during the period of active growth and flowering, avoiding fertilizing during the dormant period.

Using a complex fertilizer
 specifically for hydrangeas.

 When and how to use complex fertilizers:

 In the spring:

 During the period of active growth and the emergence of new shoots, hydrangeas need nitrogen to build up green mass. Use fertilizers with a high nitrogen content, such as nitroammophoska.

 In the summer:

 During the period of budding and flowering, hydrangeas need phosphorus and potassium for lush flowering and bright colors of inflorescences. It is recommended to use fertilizers with a high potassium content, such as potassium monophosphate. You can also use complex fertilizers containing all the necessary macro- and microelements, such as iron, magnesium, boron and others.

 In autumn:

 In late summer and autumn, before preparing for winter, hydrangeas form flower buds for the next year. Fertilizing during this period will help the plants regain their strength and better survive the winter. During this period, it is recommended to use complex fertilizers with a high content of potassium and phosphorus.

 Recommended use:

 Application:

 Fertilizers can be applied both by root (watering with a solution) and foliar (spraying on the leaves).

 Dosage:

 Follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging, do not exceed the recommended doses to avoid overdose and leaf burns.

 Watering:

 Before applying fertilizers, especially dry ones, it is recommended to water the plant well so that the nutrients are better absorbed.

 Combination:

 It is not recommended to mix different fertilizers with each other, it is better to apply them one after the other.

 Regularity:

 The frequency of fertilizing depends on the fertility of the soil, growing conditions and the condition of the plant. On average, it is recommended to fertilize 2-4 times per season.

 Helpful tips:

 To acidify the soil, you can use special preparations or natural remedies, such as peat, citric acid, or succinic acid.

 It is important to remember that hydrangeas do not like excess lime in the soil, so it is not recommended to use ash, manure, dolomite flour and other alkaline fertilizers.

 To improve flowering, you can use foliar feeding with boric acid.

 To prevent chlorosis, to which hydrangeas are prone, you can use iron chelate.
