    We have a lot of coniferous plants growing on the site. Every spring I make sure to add mineral mixtures with magnesium. In the summer I feed with fertilizers with potassium. A few years ago, the needles on the Christmas trees began to turn yellow and fall off. I took a brush and “cleaned out” all the yellow needles, then fed at the root and sprayed with a growth stimulator. By the way, in the fall (before the first frost), I water all evergreens abundantly several times.
    I wish all gardeners good health and rich harvests!

    Cutting conifers

    Now you can start breeding conifers at home. The roots are best formed by cuttings of juniper, thuja and cypress.
    I harvest shoots (10-12 cm long) from the side branches, tearing off, as usual, "with the heel." If it is too long, I shorten it with scissors. I clean the cuttings from the needles and dipped them into the Epin solution (1-2 drops / 100 ml of water) overnight.
    I pour sphagnum moss in a container with water to be nourished. Then, wringing it out a little, I spread it on one side of a paper towel folded in half.
    I spread the cuttings on the moss with the tops outward, close it with its free edge and fold everything into a roll. The tops remain open at the same time. I put it in a plastic bag, tie it tightly and attach it to the closed blinds on the balcony (shading is important). By April-May, the roots are formed in the plants - you can plant them in the school.

    I heard that there are restrictions on the use of pesticides for conifers, depending on the weather. Is it so?

      - Read the recommendations carefully before using all products. With treatments in early spring or late autumn, it is too hot or cold, it may rain and wash off the entire preparation. The instructions always indicate a favorable temperature. For example, "Angle" is effective in the range of + 10-25 degrees. It is advisable to use it at least 2 hours before the expected precipitation. A common mistake is the treatment of conifers with a growth stimulant such as "Epin" under the influence of direct sunlight. The best time to use most of these products is in the evening, after sunset.
