Bloom my Calluna vulgaris

in #flowers5 years ago

Calluna vulgaris is a perennial evergreen.
Home to Calluna vulgaris is an Southeast Asia.
Calluna vulgaris flowers are purple, pink ,, purple ,, white or yellow.
Calluna blooming begins after five years of age.
The life of heather is from 30 to 50 years.
This Calluna for a long time not lived with me :-((

I began to be interested in the cause of his death.
Now I understand the reason...
This information from the Internet.
I share it with you so that if anyone has this plant will not repeat my mistakes!

Soil composition

Heather grows preferably in acidic soils. If necessary, the acidity of the soil can be reduced by adding peat and sulfur to the soil or adding lemon malic, acetic or oxalic acid to the water for irrigation. Heather grows worse, and may even die if it is grown on alkaline soils and used in large quantities of organic matter. Ideal for planting this shrub soil, made from peat, sand, sawdust and soil in the following ratio: 3: 1: 1: 1. It is better to take the soil under coniferous trees from five centimeters depth. Also in this mixture is recommended to add an additional about 80 grams of sulfur.

Yes, unfortunately, time is something that we always lack!
