How often do heathers need to be watered? Better pay attention to that
Although the cultivation of heather in and in a pot does not seem to be difficult or complicated, it is worth paying a lot of attention to the plant. If you notice that it is starting to wilt and wither, and yet you water it often, it has probably been given too much water and the roots are slowly starting to rot. Seeing heather withering, the first thing we think about is re-watering, but this is a mistake and it’s better to refrain from it. How to water heathers? It is best to do it regularly and with small portions of water. The soil should be kept slightly moist at all times and the roots should not dry out. If you have heathers in the garden, be sure to water them if it doesn’t rain for a long time. All you need to do is use tap water or rainwater.
What fertilizer for heathers? Use the leftovers you throw away
Heathers should also be supported from time to time with a growth-stimulating fertilizer. Not everyone knows that you can prepare such a mixture yourself at home and you will not spend a lot of money on it. All because you will make it from leftovers that you usually throw in the garbage. What will you need?
In the case of acid-loving heather, brewed coffee grounds will work. Mix a cup of coffee grounds with 10 liters of water and wait one hour. Increase or decrease the proportions as needed. Stir the mixture and water the heathers with it about once a week. If you don’t have the time and inclination to prepare a liquid mixture, you can also mix the coffee grounds with the top layer of soil in which the plants develop. You will provide them with large amounts of phosphorus, magnesium, potassium and nitrogen compounds.
