Top-dressing for flowers at the end of the season
The beginning of autumn - how to feed flowers
We have already enjoyed the flowering of your favorite plants, and now you need to prepare the garden for the last autumn carnival this season, when in all its splendor chrysanthemums, sedums, asters, colchicum will manifest themselves.
We start to prepare plants for the winter. And here the approach to their nutrition should be special: most importantly - exclude nitrogen and give potassium and phosphorus, which play a primary role in maturing shoots.
Dahlias
Feed in August with a solution of "Nitrofoski" and "Superphosphate" (2: 1 tbsp / 10 L of water).
Weigh the bushes to a height of 10-15, see. This will protect the tubers, the root collar and the lower part of the stem from freezing.
Clematis
After flowering, fertilize with full mineral fertilizers.
Clematis 2-th trimming group can remove faded shoots to the first pair of vegetative buds and new ones will develop on the bushes. This will contribute to a new flowering. For winter, clematis requires minimal pruning.
Phloxes
You can feed the late-bodied plants with phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. At the end of the month you can share them and plant them.

Heathers
After flowering, fertilize plants with mineral fertilizers, for example, "Kemira. Autumn "(according to the instructions). You can sprinkle them directly under the bushes, without covering up the soil, so as not to damage the rootlets, then - abundantly watered. Do not overfeed heather! Not prepared for winter, they can not lay flower buds.
It is necessary to avoid fertilizers, which reduce the acidity of the soil.
Chrysanthemums
In budding and flowering period, feed the bushes with phosphorous potassium fertilizers.
Daylilies
In September, feed those who have a short period of rest before laying new shoots next year. Add a complex mineral fertilizer with a low nitrogen content (as instructed).
Gladiolus
In late August, feed the gladiolus superphosphate (15 g) and potassium sulfate (30 g). Dissolve in 10 liters of water. For greater effect, make the superphosphate extract because it is poorly soluble in water: 200 g superphosphate (double-100 g) pour 1 l of hot water and leave for 1-1,5 for an hour, stirring constantly. 0,2 l extracts dilute in 10 liters of water.
In early September, for the last time this season, pour plants with a solution of potassium permanganate (5 g / 10 L of water).
Rhododendrons
At the end of July, the feeding has already been stopped. It is important to stop the growth of young shoots. This can be done by spraying plants with 1% solution of potassium sulphate K2S04 or 1% solution of monosodium phosphate KN2R04.
Autumn for rhododendron is much more important charging watering than fertilizing.

Roses
We stop watering, loosening, we feed once every 10-14 days and without nitrogen. You can use complex mineral fertilizers containing two or three macronutrients, namely ammophos, nitrophos, nitroammophoska, potassium nitrate (according to the instructions).
TIPS OF ROSOVOD ALEXANDER IVANOVNA THEORIN (MOSCOW):
"You can use double superphosphate - pour it with hot water (100 g / l), insist 3-4 hours, strain and dilute in 10 l of water. Before spraying add 20 g of potassium nitrate and a freshly prepared solution to sprinkle the plants abundantly.
Useful foliar top dressing infusion of ash: 2 st. pour hot water and 10-15 min. boil, insist, drain, dilute in 10 l water. Before sprinkling add a tablet of microfertilizers.
You can spread the dry ash around the bushes, reducing the acidification of the soil.
During transplantation, pruning, cutting flowers, cooling, drought, it is very effective to spray roses with "Epin" (1 ampoule for 5 l of water).

My indoor flowers like top-dressing from aloe juice: 1 tsp. I plant in 1,5 l water, water the plants once a month. They look good and do not get sick.

It is necessary to take care of the queen of the garden now that she is well prepared for the upcoming winter and in the next season also abundantly blossomed. The main task in August is to create conditions for the ripening of shoots. No longer do I feed bushes with nitrogen fertilizers, so as not to provoke the growth of new branches that will not have time to mature before frost. In the middle-end of the month I apply phosphorus-potassium fertilizers: double superphosphate, potassium sulfate (according to the instructions), ashes (1-2 item / sq. M.).
Watering with a solution of boric acid (1 / 4 tsp per bucket of water) also contributes to better wintering.
For the prevention of fungal diseases:
- I do not thicken plantings and periodically mulch the soil around the bushes with fresh nutrient soil;
- in the fall I collect and burn fallen leaves (they are the main source of infection in the spring);
- before the winter shelter and immediately after the opening, I process the bushes and the ground around Fitosporin in a dose that is halved than recommended for treatment. The main thing is that the drug is fresh, otherwise it is useless (you need to pay attention to the expiration date).
In September I stop feeding. And if previously introduced nitrogen and warm weather at this time still provoke the growth of roses in roses new shoots - they should be pinched.
When affected by diseases such as black spots, rust, I use fungicides "Topaz", "Ridomil Gold" or biofungicide "Fitosporin-M" (according to the instructions).

How do you apply mineral fertilizers for perennials? Spread and poured. But with this method, useful substances will not soon reach the roots of ornamental plants, in addition, some of them will be "stolen" by weeds, which inevitably grow everywhere. I suggest a more effective way.
Slightly departing from the base of the bush, in the perimeter of the roots of each plant on both sides of the scoop, make holes with a depth of 3-5 cm, and then pour into each approximately a teaspoon of complex fertilizer and pour the excavated soil. Watering at once is not necessary, it can be done during routine irrigation. Fertilizers with each watering, gradually dissolving, will penetrate directly to the roots. But this method is not suitable for applying pure nitrogen fertilizers!

My breakfast is scrambled eggs and coffee, and for good reason! For the plants of my garden, I make fertilizer from coffee grounds and eggshells. I also add ash there (only ash from a summer barbecue doesn’t work, it’s better from an ordinary fire). The ratio is: for 5 teaspoons of coffee grounds and the same amount of ash is the shell of 3 eggs, it must first be dried and crushed. I mix everything.
Nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium top dressing, which increases the resistance of plants, is ready! Since it contains nitrogen as well, in autumn it is better not to use it, but you can safely and gradually accumulate its ingredients for the new season.
It is clear that even in this case there will be not so much mixture, so I prefer to determine in advance the plants that I will arrange such a “breakfast” (feed them hydrangeas), and divide it into portions - I store them in kapron bags.
