In spring, lilacs bloom profusely, and many people pick them for a bouquet.
But you definitely shouldn’t do this, and it’s not just a matter of omens.
Agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh explained why it is better not to break lilac branches.
Why can't you do this?
It is important to understand that there is a significant difference between cutting and breaking a lilac.
If branches are broken, the risk of the bush dying may increase.
And the more often you do this, the more likely it is that the lilac will bloom poorly next year.
As a result, this may even lead to the withering and death of the bush.
But you also need to prune the lilac correctly. First, you need to wait until it blooms. Then, use pruning shears to cut off the seeds that remain in place of the inflorescences.
Lilac care
In order for lilac to delight with bright and lush flowers, it requires care. However, it is quite simple.
Don't forget about fertilizing. You can use mineral or organic fertilizers for this.
Sawdust and fallen leaves are good options.
During the first year, lilacs require regular watering. After that, the bush will need to be watered during periods of drought.
