🌲How to Turn Cedar_ Spruce and Cypress Arizona Blue in Color🌲
Ken Lain, the Top 10 Gardener, is here, ready to share some earthy wisdom on how to make your evergreens pop with vibrant color this monsoon season!
Evergreens Love a Little Acid
If you want those cedars, spruces, and cypresses to show off their bluest hues, give them a dose of aluminum sulfate along with their regular 7-4-4 fertilizer. The rain will carry those nutrients deep into the roots, resulting in a stunning transformation.
Phosphorus is the Key to Blooming
Superphosphate is the secret weapon for flowering plants. This phosphorus-rich boost encourages abundant blooms and attracts butterflies and hummingbirds to your garden.
Don't Forget New Plants
Newly planted trees and shrubs need extra attention. To take advantage of the monsoon moisture and establish strong roots, make sure they are well-fertilized with an organic 7-4-4 blend.
Remember:
- Organic fertilizers are the way to go. They nourish both your plants and the beneficial life in your soil.
- Take advantage of the monsoon rains. This is the second growing season for many plants.
