Some summer residents believe that hydrangeas do not need to be fed in the fall.

However, such flowers are immediately visible: they do not reveal their beauty to the fullest extent.

The role of nutrients is largely to improve the health and aesthetics of hydrangeas. Therefore, you can immediately purchase a comprehensive autumn composition with the necessary components.

What should be included in a quality fertilizer for hydrangeas

Potassium with phosphorus

These are considered to be the most important components for autumn fertilization of hydrangeas. The role of phosphorus is important: it is what promotes the formation of buds, thanks to which we enjoy luxurious and lush flowering.

But potassium gives the plant a stunning, powerful hue.

Magnesium

It is believed that the leaves become "juicy" in color precisely due to magnesium. This element also promotes long-term flowering of plants.

Other elements

Also, a high-quality complex fertilizer should contain boron and magnesium. If you do not want to buy a complex fertilizer, then you should apply the preparations separately.

It is recommended to choose superphosphate, potassium sulfate, potassium magnesium sulfate, borofoska and potassium monophosphate. The products are applied according to the instructions.
