Do barberries like the sun? Check the requirements of this plant

People who choose seedlings rooted in containers can purchase them for the garden at any time.
How to strengthen barberry? Use unsalted vegetable water
For lush and healthy growth, barberry needs many nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, magnesium, iron and calcium. Mixtures containing them will work well in spring and summer, but autumn is approaching, which is the time when (in the case of barberries) you should avoid fertilizers containing large amounts of nitrogen.
Instead of investing in store-bought mixtures, prepare a barberry strengthener at home. How to make it? All you need is water from cooked, unsalted vegetables (salt can be deadly to plants), such as beets, carrots, parsley, celery and potatoes. Cool the decoction to room temperature and water the plants about once every two weeks. However, remember not to use water after cooking cruciferous vegetables such as Brussels sprouts, broccoli or cauliflower.
