Twitch hitch is otherwise bidens or golden rain. It has single, yellow flowers and belongs to the Asteraceae family. It begins to bloom in May and lasts until the first frost in October. It grows best in full sun, which is why more and more people decide to plant it on the balcony. However, you must remember to water it very often and abundantly, because it does not tolerate drought well. In hot weather, you have to do it even twice a day.
Twig hook. The perfect plant for the balcony
Bidens grows best in boxes, containers and hanging pots. For this reason, it will be perfect for a terrace, balcony or as a decoration of the stairs leading to the entrance to the building. It is resistant to weather changes and tolerates both cold and rain as well as heat (provided that it is watered often). The seeds of the stickwort should be sown in February or March. You can prune fast-growing shoots at any time. In May, it is best to do it every 2 weeks, thanks to which it will gain a nice, dense shape.
Fertilizer for balcony plants. Make it yourself with leftover onions
The hitch is rarely a victim of pests, but it needs to be fertilized regularly. It grows very quickly, so it’s best to do it once a week. You don’t have to buy expensive preparations in a garden store. You can easily make an effective and ecological fertilizer yourself at home. You will need onion husks. Maybe you just had a few left over from lunch? Do not throw them away, just mix them with 2 liters of water and cook for 3 hours. After this time, strain, pour into a spray bottle and spray on top of the soil. It is a real vitamin bomb for flowers: it contains vitamins B, C and E as well as potassium, iron and magnesium. You can also put crushed eggshells in the soil, which will enrich the soil with nutrients.
