Gray rot
For healthy growth and successful flowering, the "Polar Bear" needs fertile soil with a low pH level. In soil that is scarce in nutrients, the variety will grow more slowly, its flowering will be much worse.
For a seedling, you need to dig a hole 60-65 cm deep. This depth is necessary for a reserve so that a drainage layer of gravel or crushed stone fits on the bottom.
On top of the drainage, you need to put a layer of high-quality soil mixture, which includes peat, turf soil, manure and sand. This composition will increase the de-training of the soil and improve its chemical composition, which is necessary for fertility.
The soil under the plant must be regularly moistened. Watering is carried out at the root in the morning or evening with warm water (rainwater is recommended). The soil under the bush must not be allowed to dry out, so it is advisable to water it once a week in the summer and once every two weeks in the spring.
Top dressing is carried out every season. In the spring, nitrogen fertilizers are applied, in the summer during the budding period - mineral fertilizers, in the fall - fertilizing based on phosphorus and potassium. In order to reduce the amount of weed near the crop, timely loosening is necessary.
As a large amount of litter appears, weeding should be carried out in order to protect the plant from infection with parasites and fungi. In the fall or spring, it is required to carry out sanitary pruning of dead and affected branches.
In summer, it is recommended to remove dried buds immediately after flowering. The variety is winter-hardy, but in a harsh winter it is better to cover the plant with a covering greenhouse material. In light frosts, it is enough to cover the bush with peat or fallen leaves.
