Honeysuckle is conquering more and more summer cottages, becoming as common a crop as currants or gooseberries.
In the second half of spring, honeysuckle blooms, but not all gardeners know that the bushes need to be fed when this process is complete.
But the plant does not need random fertilizer, but a precisely calibrated composition that will stimulate the further development of the bushes.
How to feed honeysuckle
The fertilizer consists of two components, not counting water. For honeysuckle, fertilizer is prepared from:
- nitrophoska;
- potassium sulfate.
For 10 liters of warm water take 2 tablespoons of nitrophoska and 1 tablespoon of potassium sulfate.
How to apply fertilizer
The resulting solution is applied under the root, but the bushes are first watered with ordinary water. This way, the nutrients will be better absorbed, and the roots that are closer to the surface will not get burned.
The consumption for one adult bush is 10-20 liters of fertilizer. For one young plant, 5 liters is enough.
