At the end of April and the beginning of May, many summer residents open a new season, starting to thoroughly work on their vegetable garden and orchard.
Peonies are not left without attention during this period. Autumn care is more important for the plant, but there is one important thing to do in the spring.
Fertilizer for peonies
Bushes need mineral fertilizers to form leaves. In spring, peonies are fed with any nitro-containing product.
For example, in April-May, plants can be fertilized with nitroammophoska or ammonium nitrate. The main thing is that the product contains nitrate.
How to apply
Before adding mineral fertilizers, flowers are watered with plain water. Fertilizer can be added in dry form. For example, the consumption of nitroammophoska per adult bush is 20-30 g.
The fertilizer is scattered around the perimeter of the bushes, lightly tucked into the soil, or the peonies are immediately watered again with regular water.
Peonies love it
10 days after applying mineral fertilizer, ash is scattered around the bushes.
It will reduce the acidity of the soil and provide potassium, calcium, and phosphorus, which are necessary for peonies during the period of bud formation.
