One common myth about peonies prevents gardeners from enjoying the luxurious flowering of these plants.
This prejudice has taken root in the minds of many summer residents. But experienced gardeners have long since destroyed this myth.
Myth about caring for peonies
Many gardeners are sure that young peonies do not need additional fertilizers applied under the root. It is believed that this method of applying fertilizer can destroy delicate plants.
The taboo on root feeding is valid for up to 3 years. Only from this moment can peonies be fertilized by applying products under the root.
The secret of lush flowering
Spraying on the leaves will not give either a positive or negative effect. In the case of peonies, fertilizers should be applied under the root.
This procedure can be carried out in the first year of the plant's life. Peonies need additional feeding already in the spring. Thus, during this period, the bushes need nitrogen and other elements.
Root feeding will saturate the roots with all the necessary nutrients. But gardeners do not wait until 3 years have passed after planting, but begin to act at the early stages of flower development.
