Fertilizing Flowers in Spring: Ensuring Beautiful and Long-Lasting Blooms

Every flower lover sets aside a special place in their garden for spring bulbous plants, which are among the first to bloom and add vibrant colors to the landscape. To ensure their high-quality flowering, it’s essential to properly feed these bulbous plants.

Crocuses

After the leaves of crocuses have fully developed, apply potash and phosphorus fertilizers in a 1:1 ratio. Use 40 g of fertilizers for every 1 square meter of land.

Hyacinths

Once the first sprouts of hyacinths appear, feed them with urea and nitrophoska, adding 2 tablespoons per 1 square meter. After the buds form, provide a second feeding with 5 g of urea, superphosphate, and potassium sulfate dissolved in 10 liters of water.

Primrose

For primroses, apply a weak solution of complex fertilizer after buds appear. Repeat this feeding every 14 days throughout the flowering period.

Tulips

The first feeding of tulips should be done using dry mineral fertilizer at 30 g per 1 square meter. Ensure the soil is moist and loose. After the tulips produce their third leaf, apply mineral fertilizer again in the same amount. A third feeding is necessary after the buds appear, using superphosphate at 20 g per 1 square meter.

Daffodils

The first feeding for daffodils should occur after the first shoots appear, using nitroammophoska at 30 g per 1 square meter. When the daffodils send up flower stalks, apply nitrogen-potassium fertilizers at 50 g per 1 square meter. The final feeding takes place after flowering, using potassium at 20 g per 1 square meter and phosphorus at 40 g.

By following these fertilization guidelines, you can enjoy beautiful and long-lasting blooms in your spring garden!
