The Lady's slipper Needs regular watering, but we suggest letting the soil dry between one watering and the other; let's take action every 1-2 weeks , remembering to water the substratum well with 2-3 glasses of water . As autumn comes these plants tend to perish, we can diminish the waterings, or even interrupt them.

Pests Lady's slipper
The spring weather, with a high temperature swing between the day and night hours, and pretty frequent rains, can favour the development of fungus diseases, which should be treated pre-emptively with a systemic fungicide, to use before the gems grow excessively; at the end of the winter we also suggest a wide range insecticide to prevent the attack of aphids and cochineals. We should always remember to do these treatments when there aren't flowerings in the garden.

Mold Lady's slipper
Cultivate these annual plants in a soil with a not too accentuated drainage, which remains slightly humid.
