Every avid gardener sets aside a place on his plot for spring bulbous plants, which are among the first to fill the garden with beauty.
To ensure that the flowering is impressive, the bulbous plants need to be fed.
Crocuses
When the crocus leaves have reached their maximum, they are fed with potassium and phosphorus fertilizers (1:1). 40 g is applied per 1 square meter.
Hyacinths
As soon as the first shoots appear, add urea and nitrophoska - 2 tablespoons per 1 square meter.
After the buds have formed, it is time for the second feeding: 5 g of urea, superphosphate and potassium sulfate are dissolved in 10 liters of water.
Primrose
After the buds appear, the primrose needs a weak solution of complex fertilizer. It is applied throughout the flowering period. The interval is 14 days.
Tulips
The first feeding consists of dry mineral fertilizer - 30 g per 1 "square". The soil should be moist and loose.
When the tulips release their third leaf, mineral fertilizer is applied in the same amount. The third feeding is done after the buds appear. Flowers are fertilized with superphosphate - 20 g per 1 square meter.
Daffodils
The first feeding is carried out when the first shoots appear. Daffodils are fertilized with nitroammophoska - 30 g per "square".
When the plants produce flower stalks, nitrogen-potassium fertilizers are added - 50 g per 1 square meter.
The final feeding is done after flowering. For this, potassium is used - 20 g per "square" and phosphorus - 40 g.
