AUTUMN CONIFER FERTILIZER – prepares conifers and trees and bushes for winter

Autumn fertilizer prepares conifers, trees and bushes with leaves for winter. It is granular potassium – magnesium fertilizer, intended for autumn fertilization of all varieties of conifers. Suitable for growing decorative deciduous trees and shrubs, because it does not change the pH of the substrate. The fertilizer is primarily used to prepare plants for difficult winter conditions. It is worth starting using autumn fertilizers in the summer (even from July instead of nitrogen fertilizers). High potassium content accelerates the wooding of shoots, which protects less resistant species of trees and shrubs from freezing. Magnesium is a component of enzymes responsible for plant resistance to temperature changes. Its content in the fertilizer effectively prevents browning of conifer needles. Sulfur is necessary for building chemical compounds that increase plant resistance to fungal and bacterial diseases. Thanks to it, plants have a better spring start.

The most importantly – autumn conifer fertilizer does not contain nitrogen, so it does not stimulate plants to intensively grow and create young shoots, sensitive to low temperatures. A balanced composition helps plants enter winter dormancy, and also increases winter hardiness and frost resistance of conifers.

Application method

The fertilizer can be used from mid-July to better prepare plants for winter dormancy. However, the best time to start fertilizing with autumn fertilizer is August. Then the plants will manage to optimally use the supplied nutrients before the onset of winter. In recent years, changes in our climate could be observed, consisting in a significant extension of the summer-autumn period, which translates into the extension of the vegetation period of plants. Therefore, fertilizing with autumn fertilizer can be repeated after 2 months. You just have to remember not to delay fertilization for frosts, because the plants cannot absorb nutrients from the frozen ground. If necessary, we can also use autumn fertilizer for conifers in spring, but it is worth supplementing it with nitrogen fertilizer.

DOSAGES OF FERTILIZER

The dose depends on the height of the plant:

– 30 g of fertilizer (about one handful) to be used for every 1 meter of plant height,

– creeping plants: apply 30 g of fertilizer for every 1 meter of plant span.

Spread the fertilizer evenly around the plant and, if possible, mix it with the top layer of soil, and after watering abundantly with water. Fertilizer in contact with moist soil will gradually dissolve.
