What requirements do asters have? Pay attention to the soil
Asters belong from March to May. Among them you will find both annuals and perennials. They can be grown in the garden and in pots on the balcony and terrace. Asters bloom from May even to November, and the flowers take on a white, blue or purple color.
Most varieties need a light, well-drained and slightly moist soil with a high humus content. The position should be sunny, but some species will also develop well in partial shade. Water 1-2 times a week, depending on the weather outside the window. The most common fungal disease that affects asters is powdery mildew. It is manifested by a characteristic white coating on the leaves that resemble flour staining. Unfortunately, powdery mildew quickly spreads to other plants, so it is worth fighting it as soon as possible, and burning the affected leaves and other parts of the plant.
