The health of the plant also depends on the quality of the seedlings.

During planting, from 10 to 15 liters should be poured under the bush in several steps. Subsequently, the bush should be watered abundantly, especially during the growing season. In the fall, it is advised to reduce watering to a minimum.

Top dressing. What fertilizers does the honeysuckle variety of honeysuckle Bakcharsky giant need? In the spring - nitrogen fertilizers.

We lay out drainage at the bottom of the pit - sand or broken brick. We place the seedling in the hole, the root collar should be flush with the ground. We bury the honeysuckle, compact and water, shorten the branches by a third of the length. Then we lay out the mulch - for the summer it can be decorative colored sawdust, straw, for the winter damp manure, spruce branches, peat.

The first two years of fertilization are no longer necessary. You only have to water the area, loosen, remove weeds. Perform sanitary pruning of all bad branches in the spring.
