Planting Tips
Location:
Choose a spot that receives ample sunlight, but also has some areas of shade. For optimal growth and vibrant blooms for your Magical®️ Gold Forsythia, it is important to provide it with ample sunlight.
Soil:
It is important to plant your forsythia in soil that drains well. While it can thrive in various conditions, it tends to favor a loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH.
Spacing:
It is important to give your plants enough room to grow by placing them at least 4-5 feet apart. This will allow for proper air circulation and support their healthy development.
Watering:
Ensure that your Magical®️ Gold Forsythia receives ample watering throughout its initial growth period in order to establish a strong and well-developed root system. Once established, they have a decent tolerance for drought but it's a good idea to water them during long periods without rain.
Applying mulch:
It is recommended to apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plant. These methods help to maintain soil moisture, control soil temperature, and minimize weed competition. It is important to maintain a proper distance between the mulch and the stems in order to avoid any potential rotting issues.
Pruning:
It is recommended to prune your Magical®️ Gold Forsythia right after it finishes blooming in spring. Pruning is beneficial as it enables the plant to cultivate bloom from the new stems that emerge and adds more stems for blooms the following year, Prune the plant by trimming to shape and promote bushier growth.
Applying fertilizer:
Ensure optimal growth for your forsythia by applying a well-balanced, slow-release fertilizer like SR-18-5-10 slow release fertilizer once during the early spring, just before new growth emerges. This will ensure that the flowers receive the necessary nutrients for optimal production and overall well-being. It is important to be cautious with fertilization to prevent an imbalance that may result in reduced blooming and excessive foliage.
