Forsythia suspensa, commonly known as Weeping Forsythia, is a deciduous shrub in the Oleaceae family. Native to China, it is known for its arching branches and bright yellow flowers that bloom in early spring. This plant prefers temperate climates and goes through a dormancy period during the winter months.
Forsythia suspensa thrives in direct bright light and requires moderate temperatures. It prefers soil that dries out partially between waterings and benefits from moderate humidity levels. Regular pruning is necessary to maintain its shape and encourage new growth.
Bodem
Forsythia suspensa prefers well-draining loam soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can harm the plant's roots.
Kunstmest
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize in early spring before new growth begins and again in mid-summer to support healthy development.
Verpotten
Repot Forsythia suspensa every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current container. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage and fresh loam soil. Repot in early spring before new growth starts.
Voortplanting
Propagate Forsythia suspensa through softwood cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Dip the cuttings in rooting hormone and plant them in a well-draining soil mix. Keep the soil moist and provide indirect bright light until roots develop.
Snoeien
Prune Forsythia suspensa immediately after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage new growth. Remove any dead or damaged branches and thin out crowded areas to improve air circulation.
Toxiciteit
Forsythia suspensa is not toxic to pets or humans. All parts of the plant are considered safe, making it a good choice for gardens with children and animals.
Aanvullend
Forsythia suspensa is known for its early spring blooms, which can add a burst of color to gardens. It can also be used as a hedge or border plant due to its dense growth habit.
