How to grow heather in autumn

1. Proper fertilization

Nutrient supplementation is necessary. In the spring, in order to promote its growth, urea will be applied once every half a month. However, in autumn, you can change the type of nutrients. You can no longer apply nutrients with high nitrogen content. Instead, you can apply a small amount of nutrients containing phosphorus and potassium. However, the dosage must not be too large to prevent excessive concentration and cause root burn.

2. Thorough pruning

In the fall, the trees can be thoroughly pruned. Cut off some diseased and insect-infested branches to prevent infection of the remaining branches. Gather the cut ones together and burn them to destroy them completely. You can take this opportunity to prune the branches and cut off some branches that are too long or growing too densely to pave the way for next year. This can not only maintain its trend and reduce consumption, but also maintain the beauty of the shape.

3. Reduce the amount of watering

In summer, water is needed in time to maintain growth. However, the growth becomes slower in autumn, so the amount of water applied can be reduced appropriately.
