A healthy, beautiful garden offers a space for play and relaxation and for a colourful garden, choosing vibrant plants for the right season and fertilizing regularly at the right times with the right products is essential.
Known for their beautiful flowers and lovely scent, roses are a popular choice for gardeners around the world. South Africa has the ideal growing conditions and climate for vibrant and healthy blooms. Flowers like bush lilies, plumbago, forget-me-nots, and phlox will provide spades of color in spring. Annuals like marigolds, impatiens, and petunias are popular summer varieties that flower for extended periods. Autumn color comes from chrysanthemums, amaranthus, Inca lilies, carnations, gladiolus, hydrangea, gerberas, and zinnias – too many to mention. For winter color, Iceland poppies, Bellis perennis, stocks, sweet peas, aloes, and even kale will satisfy any craving for color. With proper nutrition and care, you can enjoy all year-round color in your garden. And do not forget about the bulb beauties that will brighten up your garden in winter, spring, or summer.
Roses, seedlings, and flower and fruit-bearing plants require nitrogen (8 parts of nitrogen) to boost growth, phosphorus (1 part phosphorus) which supports root development, and potassium (5 parts potassium) which assists plants withstanding stress from drought, pests and disease. Protek’s Rose & Flower Fertiliser 8:1:5 is formulated with balanced nutrients for flowering and fruit-bearing plants. It strengthens root systems and boosts bloom color and size as well as the overall health of plants. Apply as soon as new growth appears and continue throughout the growing season. Avoid over-fertilisation and water after fertilising to prevent chemical burn.
There are many advantages to using granular fertilizers.
- They are predictable, and reliable and improve crop yields as they contain the essential macro elements (N:P: K) essential for plant growth.
- They are designed to support a specific purpose and the unique requirements of plants, eg. a fertilizer high in nitrogen is formulated for green growth of lawns and foliage plants, high in phosphorus for root development, or a high is potassium to increase fruit and flower formation.
- Results are fast and quickly visible.
- They contain a filler that assists with the even distribution of the fertilizers, avoiding burning or over-fertilization of plants.
For best results alternate between Protek’s Rose & Flower Fertiliser 8:1:5 and NutriGreen Flower Power, which is a slow-release, organically based fertilizer specially developed for flowers and fruit.
