How to care for them in the pot

Which weigelia are suitable for planting in pots?

The rather small varieties of weigela are best suited for planting in a tub. This includes, for example, the particularly long-blooming dwarf weigela "All Summer Red". It is only about 50 to 70 centimeters high.

If you want to cultivate a tall Weigela such as the most well-known variety “Bristol Ruby” in a container, then you should definitely use a sufficiently large container. After about three to four years, the weigela becomes too big for that too. Now it's time for you to see the weigela in the garden transplant or rejuvenate their root ball extensively.

How do I care for weigelia in the bucket?

Freshly planted in the tub and with good Potting soil Your Weigelie does not need to take care of anything in the first few months fertilizer. A regular supply of nutrients later makes sense. Likewise, a container plant should be watered regularly and circumcisedwill.

The rejuvenation cut for potted plants

So that a large weigela will still thrive in the tub after a few years and continue to bloom profusely, you should remove the plant after about three years and rejuvenate the root ball. First, you should loosen the pad a little. If it is very dense and firm, trim it a little.

But do this very carefully so that your weigela is not damaged. It is best to just cut a few wedges out of the bale. This is better for your weigela than if you pruned the bale all around.

The essentials in brief:

• particularly suitable: dwarf varieties such as "All Summer Red"
• large varieties after a few years outdoors realize or rejuvenate their root ball
• Potted plants carefully fertilize, water and prune
• definitely think about winter protection
• put in a sunny place
