When planting, it is necessary to take into account the fact that the shrub does not like drafts and strong gusts of wind.
Heat-loving forsythia feels good in illuminated, sunny areas and in partial shade.
How to plant forsythia
It is better to plant shrubs in the fall before the onset of frost at a distance of 1.5 - 2 m in light or semi-shaded places protected from the wind. Planting depth is 50–70 cm.
The soil must be limed; if not, add 300–400 g of slaked lime or 200 g of wood ash to the hole and mix well with the soil mixture.
How to grow forsythia correctly
Forsythia loves windless, sunny places and loose, nutritious soil.
Possible planting in openwork partial shade.
The ideal soil is a mixture of humus (humus), leaf soil and coarse river sand in a 1:1:2 ratio.
Acidified soil must be limed by adding chalk or dolomite flour.
How to properly care for Forsythia
Forsythia does not tolerate waterlogging very well, so one of the particularly important aspects of caring for this plant is organizing proper watering.
If the summer is not very dry and hot, depending on the weather, water the plant once every 1-2 weeks, using one bucket of water for each bush.
