2. The next feeding is done after 2 months. In mid-June, prepare a mixture of nitrophoska (1 tbsp. per 10 l of water) and "Agricola" (1 tbsp. per 10 l of water).

The composition increases the number of ovaries and stimulates more lush flowering of hydrangea.

3. The last feeding of the season is done 3 months after the second. In mid-September, the emphasis is on potassium-phosphorus fertilizers.

This kind of feeding will form the foundation for lush flowering next year. The plant will accumulate nutrients, thanks to which it will survive the winter without problems and will delight you with flowering with renewed vigor in the new season.
