For full growth and development, any crop needs to be fertilized, and asters are no exception.
Nutrients are added if plants are not growing well, are not blooming and are sick. Fertilizers will give plants strength to fight infections and pests.
How to properly fertilize asters
Not every gardener knows how to properly feed asters. Some believe that asters just need to be watered and they will grow lushly and bloom all season.
If you want your asters to delight you with lush blooms, then carry nutrients correctly. Flowers will reciprocate.
The first feeding is done so that the plants can adapt to the new location after they are planted in the ground.
Fertilizers are also used both before and during budding.
Nutrition is important when laying the flower stalk, because feeding has a positive effect on the growth of asters, making their immune system stronger.
Nutrients are very important for abundant flowering. The main thing is to feed the flowers, following the recommendations of specialists.
After flowering, it is necessary to dig up the area and add mineral and organic fertilizers.
In this case, you can use compost or humus. However, do not forget that manure is not the best option for feeding. Asters do not tolerate ammonia well, which can cause them to become ill.
Calcium or potassium salt can be used as mineral supplements.
It is important to know that asters will not grow and bloom well in acidic soil. Neutral soil is considered the best option for plants.
