What to fertilize peonies in the spring, summer and autumn you will learn from this article. It contains not only the basic rules of procedure, but also examples of drugs that can be used as fertilizers.
It is known that the bushes of peonies can grow in one place for up to 50 years, while blooming every year in lush color. All that is needed for this is correct carewhich includes watering, loosening, making beneficial substances, combating diseases and pests.
This procedure is especially important in spring and summer, during the growing season. The task of this article is to tell more about the timing and methods of conducting such procedures, reveal their features and rules.
What is needed spring feeding
Among all seasonal feeding special place Cares spring. After all, it is precisely how it depends on how quickly the bushes will awaken after the winter, whether they have enough strength to abundant and long flowering (Figure 1).
For this reason experienced gardeners In the spring, a whole range of activities aimed at entering the soil of the necessary nutrients.
Features
Spring feeding is carried out in several stages. The first starts at the end of April - early May, when the sprouts will rise a bit above the surface of the soil, a complex of organic and minerals is introduced into the soil (well-rolled cow or horse manure + nitroposka), which is scattered over the surface of the earth, followed by a depth of 8-10 cm.
Figure 1. Features of spring feeding 2-3 weeks after the first spend the second feeding, the task of which is to provide a plant with nutrients during flowering period. This time we prepare a liquid fertilizer consisting of 20 g of potassium and 40 g of phosphate substances at the rate of the bucket infusion of a cowboy. Under each bush poured 2-3 liters of the prepared solution.
The third should be 2-3 weeks after the end of flowering. It is carried out using liquid mix Infusion of a cowboy with the addition of 30 g of superphosphate and 15 g of potassium sulphate on a bucket of infusion.
Young bushes are also useful to conduct extractive procedures each month with a solution of a full mineral preparation.
rules
Fueling the bushes of these colors, should be followed by some rules:
- All types of drugs are better to make in the evening or cloudy weather.
- With an extraordinary procedure it is recommended to add to the prepared solution a large number of economic Soap or washing powder (1 tbsp. Spoon on the bucket of the solution), which will allow the fluid to linger on the surface of the leaves, and not drain from it.
- It is necessary to start a feed in late April - early May. Subsequent are held in 2-3 weeks after the previous ones at important stages of the plant development: in the germination phase, during the formation of buds, after the end of flowering.
- Scattering under the bush of humus or mineral fertilizers, it is necessary to ensure that they do not fall into the leaves, as it can cause their burns.
Immediately before making the roasting supplies, it is necessary to moisten the soil under the bush for more efficient penetration of nutrients to the roots of the plant.
Than fertilize peonies in spring
The most important for the growth of culture are the elements such as nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. At the same time, the first feeding should include nitrogen and potassium to ensure the growing increase in green mass. Phosphorus include in the second feeding. And if the first time nitrogen prevails, then in the second all elements take approximately equal amounts (10-15 g).
Experienced gardeners know how to fertilize peonies in the spring, but some useful tips will need beginners in growing colors.
The most popular fertilizers in the spring are considered (Figure 2):
- Kemira, which can be made three times per season. The procedure for its introduction is simple: to post a handful of fertilizer into the deepening under the bush and pour out the earth. For each separate stage Plant Development Apply Preparations of the drug: Kemira-Universal is entered in early spring to flowering, and Kemira Combi is used for the second fuel. This drug is so easily dissolved that it is simply poured on the surface of the Earth and water water.
- Baikal EM-1 got widespread among organic drugs. It not only feeds the soil, but also improves its structure. In the autumn, this drug must be mixed with a compost that is used as a mulching material for the winter.
- Chicken litter can also be used as a source of useful substances. For its preparation, floor liters littered with a bucket of water and insisted for 2 weeks. Infusion is used divorced with water in a ratio of 1: 3. For a larger effect, the addition of handstone wood ash.
Figure 2. Basic types of fertilizers for flowers: Kemira, Baikal and chicken litter For extractive feeders, any complex fertilizers are used, which dissolve in water according to the instructions. In early spring You can also use the urea solution (50 g per 10 liters of water) with the addition of microelements a month after the first one.
From the video you will learn more useful Soviets and practical recommendations on spring feeding.
Feeding peonies yeast in spring
Experienced gardeners are also used by yeast-based preparations, which ensures lush flowering bushes. To prepare such a fertilizer, you will need 100 g of bakery yeast, which poured with a small amount warm water A glass of sugar dissolved in it is left overnight (Figure 3).
Figure 3. Features of feeding yeast The worried solution is filled and poured into the water bucket. The bushes are watered by this composition, which are just beginning to grow.
Fertilizer peonies in summer
Young bushes begin to bloom intensively on the third year after landing. Therefore, it is during this period that mineral feeding is necessary, which is carried out in the spring-summer season three times.
Features
The last stage of the mineral substances will fall on the first summer month, when the bushes have already been blowing and they need strength to resume to ensure abundant bloom in the next season.
At this stage, potassium-phosphoric feeding is carried out using 10-15 g of potassium and 15-20 g of phosphorus. At the same time, fertilizers can be made both in a dry form and in the form of a solution. It will also be quite well added to a solution for watering 1-2 microfertili tablets on the water bucket.
rules
It is recommended to make useful substances in the evening when heat falls, or choose more cool days for this. Making a fertilizer in a dry form or in the form of a solution, it is necessary to ensure that the substances do not fall on the stems and leaves, as it can cause thermal burns that significantly weaken the plant.
Remember that any drug is absorbed by the plant better and faster if it is brought into a well-moistened soil.
Feeding peonies in autumn
In addition to the feeding, which are conducted during the most intense stages of plant development, important and necessary place It occupies an autumn procedure, providing the future "harvest" (Figure 4).
For what is needed
The thing is that even in the fall, in September-October, the roots of these decorative shrubs continue to grow, at the same time accumulating in separate thickened areas nutrients, required plants In order to successfully survive winter and germinate in the spring. That is why in no case cannot ignore the supply of nutrients in the fall.
Features
Most important elements For plants in the fall are potassium and phosphorus. These substances not only feed the plant, but also stimulate the development of new kidneys, which is the key to beautiful flowering in the new season.
Figure 4. Pion care rules in autumn Kalievo-phosphoric feeding can be made both in dry and in liquid form. That is, for each bush it is recommended to pour 15 g of each of the fertilizers, or dissolve them in a bucket of water and pour a plant.
rules
It should be known that when making potassium-phosphoric fertilizers, it is necessary to pre-shed the soil under a bush and only after that scatter (close) granules. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that fertilizers do not fall on the neck of the plant. Conducting feeding with the help of a solution, try to water the plant so that the fluid does not fall on the leaves, because it can cause their burns.
Valuable tips of the gardeners along the feeding and the choice of fertilizer for plants are given in the video.
Luxury peonies caps on strong bluers - pride of any garden. Their blossom is especially welcome after a long winter. Peonies, perhaps, one of the largest colors among perennials. In order for the bushes to always rejoice in lush healthy bloom, they need to properly care for them: to make fertilizers in a timely manner, feed, water and protect against diseases and pests.
Care of peonies in spring
Spring care for peonies in the garden in the conditions of the Moscow region begins even before the snow. First, the shelter is removed, feeding the minerals are carried out, and then.
As soon as the temperature ceases to fall below -5 ° C, it's time to remove the shelter with tree peonies. If the peonies for the winter were closed (close and replacing), the land from them you need to cut as soon as possible. Otherwise, additional roots are formed on the trunks of shoots, and it will be necessary to build up general level Flowers. It is undesirable to do so, since the root neck will be lower than the level of the ground, and the flowering may not come.
A week after the appearance of sprouts of peonies, neatly loosen the earth and mulch by humus or, along the way.
Podon feeding in spring
During the spring feeding, it is important to provide peonies not only by nitrogen, but also with potash-phosphoric fertilizers, so that the stems and flowers are strong. This is the difference of feeding for peonies from the rest of the rest, which in the spring is needed only nitrogen.
Urea feeding
In early March, while the snow has not yet completely melted, but only acquired a brown shade, scattering urea granules on flowerbeds with peonies. TELL WATER Already dissolved fertilizers to roots and raise plants with food. Such spring feeding The snow is very convenient because the risk of burning leaves is missing fertilizers.
Undercaming ash
As soon as the snow is melting, and the sprouts have not yet appeared, I scatter ash in the place of planting of peonies. The ash will strengthen the plants, make the tone of colors more saturated. Asha is important to apply in a timely manner. If it is scattered simultaneously with urea granules in the snow, it will contribute to the rapid melting of snow and the appearance of escapes that can damage the return frosts.
Feeding herbal infusion
In the 20th of May, I spend the first liquid feeding for peonies. To do this, at the beginning of May I am preparing, with watering, lashes 1: 8 with water. Before watering green fertilizer, I wash peonies with water so as not to burn the roots. If you need to pour a large number of fertilizer landings, then for convenience I go to the trick, I spend the feeding immediately after the rain when the ground is wet.

Peonies are actively growing and abundantly bloom on the same territory. But for this colors need competent care. Starting from the 3rd year of flowering, they need not only timely watering and loosening, but also the application of fertilizers:
Important: when feeding should be carefully observed dosage of drugs. If nitrogen is too much, the green mass grows up, and the bootonization is delayed.
What fertilizers feed peonies
There are several very effective modern means.
Kemira - Mineral Fertilizer
The composition is used three times per season. At the beginning of spring and 7 days after flowering, the drug Kemira-Universal is used. At first, each plant is watered, and then plowing the fertilizer's handful under it and bury it into the ground. The composition immediately dissolves in water and penetrates the roots of the flower.
The second feeder can be carried out by the Kemira-Combi tool, which is not necessary to reprove. The packaging is simply poured into beds under the bushes and watered. This is an instant drug that almost immediately reaches herbal roots.
All components of the Kemira have a chelated form, due to which they are absorbed by plants without additional processing Microorganisms of soil.
Another useful toolcontaining many trace elements is called "Siliplant". It helps to increase the strength of the tissues of the plant and adapting it to external conditions.
Baikal Em-1 - Organic Fertilizer
Microbiological preparation based on EM-technology. It has live microorganisms that improve the composition and fertility of the soil. Baikal EM-1 is put in compost, which in the fall is carried out mulching of mature plants. Layer mulch 7-10 cm.
Any organic worker helps develop flower shoots and numerous buds. The fertilizer often make a korovyan divided into water in a ratio of 1:10 and a bird litter - 1:15. This composition of the plant is carefully watered under the root without affecting the root neck. It is advisable to make small yams around the bush and pour the drug in them. Such feeding is carried out once in the season when the bootonization is going.
Extra cornering subcortex
Bushes, regardless of age, 1 time per month feather an extraxanle method: spray the bushes with a solution of combined mineral composition. For example, you can apply the drug ideal, the use rate of which is recorded in annotations.
Important: so that the fertilizer remains longer on the leaves in it, 1 tablespoon of washing or household soap is placed on 10 liters. composition.
There is another variant of the extraxanle feeding. For the first time, it is carried out after the formation of the ground part of the plant: the urea solution is made by 10 liters. water. The second time - in a month: Microfitur tablets are put on the divorced carbamide, 1 piece is 10 liters. Solid. The third processing is carried out only with a composition of 2 tablets for 10 liters. water.
To strengthen the roots, heteroaceuxin, 2 tablets on the water bucket are used. To actively grew up shoots, peonies are fed by the humate of sodium, 5 g. Battle, scattering it into small furrows near the flower.
Most of the drugs are sprayed on a bush with a pulverizer, but so that soaps are better "sticking" the flowers can be treated with brush.
What do experienced gardeners say
"I am not a special peony, so they didn't want to bloom at all. We constantly formed small buds that did not become with flowers.

Peonies are loved by our gardeners and grow in almost every paralisian. However, some of these are huge bushes, completely covered with flowers, others are also solid, and the buds on them once or two and turned around. And the reason is usually in caring for plants.
In the first years of life, peony flowers can be smaller and even do not even match the varietal color. Fully properties of the variety are manifested only from the fifth year of flowering.
As competently care for the peonies, so that they delightly pleased with abundant blossom, tells Agronom from Saratov Alexey Volodikhin. Your attention is 5 secrets of lush flowering of peonies.
1. Competent watering of peonies
You don't need to water the peonies in the rainy and cool summer. However, if there is a heat, it will have to do this and - according to the rules.
It is necessary to water the peonies every 7-10 days. Especially important in the end of May - early July, when the bushes are rapidly growing and flowers are formed. Another an important stage - Mid-July - August, when the renewal kidney is laid.
Many pour water right under the bush, where there are practically no roots. There, near the foundation of shoots, there are thickened roots, sparkling nutrients, they cannot suck moisture from the soil. The young roots capable of drinking a bush are located on the periphery.
In young peonies, the suction zone is therefore approximately 20-25 cm from the center of the bush, and the old one is 40 cm. Here it is necessary to pour water. And so that it does not spread, you turn around 10 cm with a depth of about 10 cm around the perimeter and water straight into it - 3-4 buckets under the bush.
It is best to water peonies in the evening so that the water is completely absorbed into the soil, and not evaporated.
2. loosening soil around bushes
This work should be done after each watering or rain if you want the roots to breathe and grow well.
To loosen the soil around the bushes should be carefully - at the stems at a depth of no more than 5-7 cm, and at 20-25 cm from them, 10-15 cm.
3. Timely feeding of peonies
If the Pioneys for peonies were previously filled with fertilizers, in the first two years it is not necessary to feed peonies. Starting since the third year, peonies require 4 feeders per season:
- The first feeding is made as red sprouts will be shown from the soil. 1 tbsp. Ammonium nitrate is dissolved in 10 liters of water and watered plants from the calculation - a bucket for each bush. After that, the soil is mulched by humus, which will gradually give the plant with nutrients.
- The second time the peonies fed when buds appear. Mixed in dry form 1/2 tbsp. Ammonia Selitra, 1/2 Article. Superphosphate and 1/3 of Article. Potash salt, scatter all this under a bush and close up in the soil.
- The third dressing of the composition repeats the previous one and entered during the flowering of peony.
- The fourth time fertilize the peonies after they completely blend. Under the bush brought 1/2 tbsp. Superphosphate and 1/3 of Article. Potash salt.
Fertilizers can be made only after rain or watering. Watch out for the norm of feeding - an excess of nitrogen stimulates the extension of shoots and leaves to the detriment of the tying of buds.
4. Removing buds
So that peonies bloom abundantly, the buds must be deleted. It is especially important to do this in the first and the second years after the landing, since mass flowering does not allow fully developed by the root system.
If you want to get large upper flowers, remove the side buds to achieve their size with the pea. And, on the contrary, it is not necessary to do this, if you are more important for you, there are not single flowers on the cutting, but the total amount of their number on the bush and its long-lasting flowering.
It is very important to remove the flowers immediately with the beginning of withering, without waiting for the flow of petals. Otherwise, hitting the leaves, they can provoke a sulfur-making disease, especially in rainy weather.
5. Rejuvenation of peonies
Peonies may well grow in one place 50 and even 100 years! However, the bush becomes older, the weaker it blooms. Therefore, once in 8-10 years, peonies need to dig and divide so that on each decene it was 3-4 kidneys. And you can only do this in August!
