Plant the broom correctly - tips and tricks
He is not only hardy and easy to care for, the broom also flowers exceptionally well and thrives even on very poor soil. Therefore, it is ideal for many locations. When planting, however, you should pay attention to a few things.
Find the right place for broom
All species of the beast prefer a location in the full sun, the warmer the better. Not even the blazing midday sun scares the broom. In the shade, he does not feel well. There he will neither grow well nor flower abundantly.
Before planting the broom, keep in mind that it is poisonous. For small animals, nibbling on the bush can be fatal and even for children, the tempting colorful flowers as well as the small pods are quite dangerous.
The nature of the soil
The broom can also feel at ease where other plants already "starve" because he prefers a lean soil. He likes to be sandy and dry. On stony ground, on the other hand, you will not enjoy your broom very much. The roots easily start to rot there and the plant enters.
Good company for your broom
Even in nature, gorse often grows in the company of other heather plants. You can use this property well for your garden. Ornamental grasses, juniper and wild roses can also be combined well with broom. In addition, some broom species are ideal for the planting of rockeries, Mediterranean beets or embankments.
Planting broom - step by step
Since the roots of the gorse are quite long and sensitive, it is best to buy a plant in a container or flowerpot. Pick out a sufficiently deep planting hole, at least as deep as the root of your broom is long. If you want to create a drainage layer to improve the drainage, then the hole should be correspondingly deeper.
Loosen a heavy soil with a little sand and exceptionally do not give fertilizer or compost into the planting hole. Finally, not only the leaves grow but also plenty of flowers. Water your freshly planted broom well. Once it has grown, casting is no longer necessary, but transplanting is no longer recommended.
