Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers
Nitrogen fertilizers promote the development of green mass of the plant and improve its overall health. However, it is important not to overdo it, otherwise there will be more greenery than flowers.
Phosphorus fertilizers will help stimulate flowering, they are important for the correct formation of buds and flowers. Such feeding will help prepare the hydrangea for flowering in the new season.
Potassium fertilizers are applied in mid-summer during the flowering period to increase the plant's resistance to diseases and improve flowering.
Organic fertilizers
Humus, compost, fish oil, and infusion of stale bread crusts can be used to enrich the soil with nutrients and stimulate the growth of hydrangeas.
They contain a complex of microelements and nutrients that are necessary for healthy growth and full flowering.
Bread infusion
Place stale bread in a container, fill with water, let it sit, strain, dilute with water 1 to 1 and water once a month.
