    Daylilies and phlox fed with urea. But, they say, it is wrong to give only nitrogen fertilizers at this time. What should be the first feeding?

      - It is wrong to give daylilies only nitrogen in spring: at the beginning of growth, they intensively absorb phosphates. Early phosphorus starvation has such a depressing effect that it cannot be overcome by subsequent normal nutrition. Therefore, the first dressing is done on the leaves, using any water-soluble complex mineral fertilizer. In the second half of May, they are fed with a complex mineral fertilizer with trace elements (according to the instructions). Good effect from fertilizing with a yeast solution. Baker's yeast is used in briquettes. Pour 3 tbsp into a 0,5-liter jar. Sahara. Add 1/3 of a 100-gram pack of yeast. Water is poured into 2/3 cans (it turns out a little less than 2 liters). Leave to ferment in a warm place for several days. The solution is diluted in a ratio of 250 ml of mash/10 l of water.

      As for phlox, nitrogen reduces their resistance to fungal diseases. In the spring, to improve flowering, a mixture of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers is added: 35 g of ammonium nitrate, 65 g of superphosphate, 30 g of potassium salt (approximately 10-12 g of each element). The proportion is calculated for loamy soils. On chernozems, the amount of fertilizer should be reduced, and on podzolic soils, it can be increased. On acidic soils, ash should be applied not only in autumn, but also in spring.

    In early June, I am preparing universal dressing for flowers and vegetable plants. In a tank (200 l) I put grass after weeding the garden (wood lice, quinoa, nettle), fresh vegetable peeling, a bucket of horse or cow dung, eggshell. When the mass fills half of the tank, add water so that it slightly covers the contents.
    I cover the tank with a film or a lid. I leave the waste to roam for 20-30 days. Then I dilute the infusion as follows: add a half liter of liquid from the tank to a bucket of water (10 l). Scooping a bucket of infusion for feeding, add the same amount of water to the tank. The contents again leave to wander until the next feeding.

    I water all the flowers with this infusion two to three times a month, and vegetables once or twice a month, alternating with other purchased preparations for feeding vegetables.

    I can not guarantee that if you feed the plants well, you can count on giant flowers. But something really can be done.
    First, you should purchase quality seeds. And before you sow them, you need to check for germination. It is also necessary to properly prepare the soil for the flower of your choice to grow.
    Secondly, it is necessary to properly care for the plant. When it begins to develop, it will require nitrogen. At the stage of budding - a full range of fertilizers with a predominance of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
    When the plant blooms, it needs fertilizing again. But fertilizers should be with less nitrogen, but with more phosphorus. And if you are an opponent of "chemistry", then use wood ash. From her flowers become not only larger, but also brighter.
    Pay attention to the color of the leaves of a flowering plant. If they are light green, do not skimp on top dressing. And they noticed that an ugly brown border appeared on the leaves, the tips curled up, reduce the dose of fertilizers.
    At the same time, use organic dressings, giving the flowers an infusion of high-quality rotted compost. All this will have a decisive impact on the growth and size of the flowers.

    Do not forget also about the correct lighting, humidity and temperature. It is important that the difference of night and day does not exceed 10 degrees. Remove dried leaves and flowers in time: the plant will have more energy to form new buds.
    Sometimes an increase in the size of flowers contributes to cutting the top of the plant. Usually this procedure allows you to appear new shoots. True, this should be done while the plant is still young.
    But it is best not to be lazy to experiment, try to apply new drugs that stimulate the growth and flowering of plants. And over time you will understand what is most suitable for growing various flowering plants and makes them taller and larger.
