How can we take care of our plants in winter? ❄️
How can we prepare our pots and the garden for the coming spring? 🍅🌿🌹
During the winter period
In winter we can lay the foundations for a rich and productive year in our garden and balconies, with many flowers, fruits and abundant vegetation!
During this period, the soil needs renewal, so that it is ready in spring to welcome the seeds of the plants of our choice, but also to support existing or new plants!
So what do we do?
- We carefully clean our pots and the garden of dry leaves and twigs
- We dig lightly
- We incorporate Biotron S (leonardite) into the soil, a 100% natural product that will revitalize it and make it fertile. The plants that already exist or are going to grow there will be able to properly develop their roots, shoots, have intense color in their flowers and grow harmoniously.
At the end of winter, before spring
In already existing plants such as hedges, trees, shrubs, which are fed from the end of winter, we incorporate directly into the soil, the slow-release granular fertilizer Per piante verdi with a composition of 20-10-10 and iron, which ensures complete nutrition for the plants for up to 4 months.
Where poor growth, pale leaves are observed – even in the lawn – we strengthen our plants by watering them together with liquid fertilizer, for immediate stimulation and rapid absorption, Azoto with a composition of 30-0-0.
Where chlorosis is observed (yellowing between the veins of the leaves) we apply special liquid iron chelate Ferfast 6% DTPA together with the irrigation water. It can also be used preventively, especially in acidophilic plants such as gardenia, in the lawn, etc.
