By the way<\/strong>: Although the forsythia develops many bright flowers, it is of no interest to bees. The forsythia found in this country is almost all hybrid varieties that do not produce pollen and therefore do not attract bees. You can find the most bee-friendly perennials for your garden here.<\/div><\/div>\nThese products are ideal for cutting your shrubs, hedges, and trees:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Felco Secateurs: Manual pruning, pruning, and gardening shears recommended for all types of cutting.

<\/span>Maintain forsythia<\/span><\/h2>\nApart from the correct pruning in spring, the forsythia is considered to be a very easy-care shrub. Below are some tips on how to water the plant correctly and whether fertilization is necessary.<\/p>\n
Forsythias do not need a particularly high level of care, which makes them very popular as plants in the garden. Basically, it can be said that you usually do not need to water the shrub – the rain in Germany is by far enough. Nevertheless, it is always worthwhile to work compost and leaves into the soil before planting out, so that the soil can better retain moisture. If the forsythia should still hang its head in particularly strong heat in summer, you can of course help with a little cool water.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
When it comes to fertilization, the same applies to watering: you can dispense with fertilizing apart from the one-off incorporation of compost. Forsythias also grow well in less nutrient-rich locations.<\/p>\n
Here is a summary of everything you need to know about caring for forsythia:<\/p>\n
\n- Pouring is usually not necessary<\/li>\n
- Water only when it is extremely dry<\/li>\n
- No fertilization<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>Forsythia multiply by yourself<\/span><\/h2>\nIf you decide to plant forsythia in your garden, you can purchase one from the gardener or garden center. The sowing is rather unusual and takes much longer. A good way to grow several plants is to use cuttings and cuttings to propagate them. We present both variants and explain the difference.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Propagate forsythia by cuttings<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nBasically, it can be said that pulling cuttings is the easiest way to quickly multiply forsythia. Proceed as follows: In early summer, cut off several slightly woody shoots with a length of about 15 cm on the bush. Then first remove the flowers and the lower leaves. Then plant the cutting in the ground, preferably directly in the garden. To increase the chances of successful root formation, it makes sense to plant several cuttings at the same time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/span>Increase forsythia with offshoots<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nAnother simple method of propagation is the formation of offshoots (also called subsidence). In contrast to cuttings, in forsythia no shoots are cut off, but (as the name suggests) shoots are bent to the ground. Pick out long shoots and dig them into a small groove in the ground. The end of the instinct should look out of the earth again. Make sure that there is enough soil on the branch. Before digging in, cut light notches in the bark of the branch – new cuttings will develop from this over the course of a year. After about a year, you can then separate the new offshoots and plant them again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
