7. Step-by-Step: Applying the Mixture to Dormant Hydrangea Roots
Begin by clearing any debris from around the base of the hydrangea to ensure the mixture reaches the soil effectively. Use a watering can or a garden sprayer to apply the mixture evenly around the root zone.
Pour slowly to allow the soil to absorb the nutrients, and avoid water runoff. Ensure that the mixture penetrates the soil to reach the roots, as surface application is less effective.
8. Mistakes to Avoid When Feeding Dormant Hydrangeas
Avoid over-fertilizing, as too much nutrient can lead to root burn and damage the plant. Stick to recommended dosages for bone meal and Epsom salt.
