- Fertilizer for rhododendrons and azaleas is a multi-component mineral fertilizer intended for fertilizing all species and varieties of rhododendrons (rhododendrons), azaleas and other heath plants.
Fertilizer for rhododendrons and azaleas is a multi-component mineral fertilizer intended for fertilizing all species and varieties of rhododendrons (rhododendrons), azaleas and other heath plants. Thanks to the granular form, it is convenient to use and guarantees an even release of nutrients. Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and micronutrients in the fertilizer cover the nutritional needs of plants for these nutrients. Systematically applied fertilizer has a positive effect on the condition of plants, abundant flowering and intensive coloring of flowers and leaves. Optimally nourished rhododendrons produce fine flower buds for the next season and are less sensitive to adverse environmental factors.
The fertilizer contains optimal doses of macro- and microelements adapted to the needs of ericaceous plants. The basic distinguishing feature of the fertilizer for rhododendrons and azaleas is the ability to maintain the correct acid reaction of the substrate, which is very important in the cultivation of heath plants. It is only in this reaction that rhododendrons, azaleas and other ericaceous plants are able to absorb all the nutrients from the soil. Rhododendrons and azaleas very often suffer from diseases caused by nutrient deficiency. Symptoms of deficiencies are various types of discoloration and spots on the leaves. Sometimes, due to a deficiency, plants do not bloom. Nitrogen and a microelement - iron are the components of the fertilizer, which can be easily supplemented by using the fertilizer. Their deficiency is indicated by yellow discoloration of the leaves between the veins. Potassium provides the leaves with proper firmness thanks to the proper water management in the plant's tissues, but also prolongs the flowering period. The high content of potassium also has a positive effect on the general appearance of plants, their health and resistance to freezing. Properly selected macro- and micronutrients ensure proper growth, abundant flowering and intense coloration of flowers.
