Fertilizer for conifers 5 kg

Its wholesome composition, rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, fully covers the nutritional needs of conifers, which positively affects their even growth. Systematic fertilization ensures proper coloring of the needles and proper condition of the plants. Fertilizer for coniferous plants such as: spruces, pines, Douglas firs, hemlocks, thujas, yews, cypresses, junipers, larches, cypresses, cedars, cypresses and other less popular coniferous plants, e.g.

Conifers are a very specific group of plants because they are mostly evergreens. Conifers keep needles or leaf scales on themselves for a long time and "replace" them once every several years. Such physiology of plants makes them react very quickly to deficiencies of nutrients in the soil, and the symptoms of deficiencies persist for a long time on evergreen parts of plants. If we do not apply fertilization, we can cause the conifers to irretrievably lose their needles and their re-densification from the inside of the crown will not be possible. By systematically applying fertilizer for conifers, we will avoid discoloration of the needles, which initially turn yellow, then turn brown and die. Long-term nutrient deficiencies can lead to excessive stripping of needles from plants, which makes them look unhealthy. Fertilizer for conifers prevents yellowing and browning of needles, so they do not fall off prematurely and stay on the plant for a long time. Using fertilizer for conifers, we can also restore the proper appearance and health of the needles. Properly nourished plants intensively thicken and grow relatively quickly.

The sprinkle form of fertilizer for conifers is very convenient. It is enough to spread the fertilizer directly within the root ball, where the fertilizer will release nutrients under the influence of soil moisture. Do not leave the fertilizer near the root neck, i.e. under the trunk itself. Unlike liquid fertilizers, powder fertilizers last longer because the ingredients contained in the granules bind to the sorption complex of the substrate and are not washed out too quickly into the ground. For this reason, fertilizers for conifers in the form of sprinkles are perfect for fertilizing plants in the garden, growing directly in the ground.

Fertilizer for coniferous plants should be used especially in spring, after the plants have left the dormant period. Then the conifers, weakened after winter, need an injection of energy for the new growing season. Then the conifers will produce young strong and firm shoots. Fertilization must be continued every 45-60 days, because conifers are at a later stage of development.

We use many coniferous plants for shaping. Usually, evergreen conifers are used as hedges formed to protect the garden from the outside world. To obtain an intimate atmosphere, we care about a compact, dense hedge that will please the eye all year round. Such a hedge must be properly cared for. Regular pruning is part of the care to keep it in shape. But in order for the hedge to produce young growth and thicken properly, it is also necessary to use specialized fertilizers for conifers. Then the hedge will be a dense, intensely green wall that we care about.

Sometimes we form various fancy shapes from conifers, creating garden bonsai. Such plants, which are pruned very often, should be taken care of when it comes to proper nutrition. Then the formed balls or other shapes will gain an attractive appearance thanks to the appropriate density.

Conifers with specific requirements
Some conifers require an acid reaction of the substrate for proper development. Usually, when planting, we enrich the substrate with acidic peat or soil. But after some time of cultivation, the soil becomes sterile and loses its properties. When the substrate has lost its acid reaction in the cultivation of acidophilic conifers, then it is worth using an acidifying fertilizer for conifers.

In some cases, nutrient deficiencies are so great that the basic color of the needles has been lost. If the needles turn brown, then it is worth using an intervention fertilizer, i.e. fertilizer for conifers against browning of the needles, which, in addition to the basic nutrients, contains magnesium, which helps to regain the proper color of the needles.

Properties:

for feeding conifers and other evergreen plants
also suitable for fertilizing deciduous trees and shrubs
ensures proper plant growth and intensive coloring of needles, scales and leaves
dosage depends on the size of the plant (50 g for each meter of height)

Contents:

• EC fertilizer
• nitrogen (N) - 14%
• phosphorus (P2O5) - 14%
• potassium (K2O) - 21%

Method of application

Use from March to August, every 45-60 days. Autumn fertilizer should be applied from September.

1. Measure the right amount of fertilizer, depending on the size of the plant:

young plants (up to 0.5 m high) - use 20-30 g of fertilizer
older plants - use 40-60 g of fertilizer for every 1 m of plant height
creeping plants - fertilize depending on the spread of the bush/on 1 m of span use 40-60 g of fertilizer

2. Spread the fertilizer evenly around the plant and, if possible, mix it with the top layer of soil.

3. After applying the fertilizer, water the plant abundantly.

One handful is about 30-40 g of fertilizer. Fertilizer components are released over a period of about 4-6 weeks.
