Asters of unrivaled beauty bloom in the summer and continue to delight with their flowering until late autumn.

It often happens that the trees are already bare, without leaves, but these flowers are not going to give up their positions.

But if you want the flowering period to last as long as possible, do not forget about the basic care that asters, like any other plants, need.

First of all, it is worth talking about the soil that is suitable for these flowers - it should be loamy, but asters do not like fresh humus.

Watering can prolong the flowering of asters; you should not forget about it throughout the entire period of plant development, and especially during a dry summer.

In addition, plants should be fed. This is the only way to achieve lush and long-lasting flowering.

Fertilizers are usually applied when asters begin to grow actively, and then the “operation” is repeated in June and July.

Do not forget to thoroughly loosen the soil in which the asters grow after watering or applying fertilizer; this is necessary for active aeration.
