Temperatures Spotted snapweedSole pieno
Annual plants are usually not grown during the cold period; as autumn arrives we can uproot them and save the seeds for the year after. The Spotted snapweed can't tolerate freezings, therefore it is best to grow it in a cold green house or in an apartment; during late Spring we can place them outside, when all risks of freezings are unprobable.For a balanced development of the The Spotted snapweed it is advisable to locate it in a place where it is exposed to at least a few hours of direct sunlight.

Irrigation Spotted snapweedTenere Umido
As autumn comes these plants tend to perish, we can diminish the waterings, or even interrupt them. These plants favour quite regular watering, usually 2-3 glasses of water ; we advise in any case to irrigate every 1-2 weeks , when the soil is dry.

Feed Spotted snapweed
When we prepare the soil to welcome our annuals, in the apring or at the beginning of the summer, let’s add a good quantity of manure, or slow release granular fertilizer. To improve the flowering we can also give it specific fertilizations for flowering or green plants, mixed with the irrigating water, every 20-30 days.

Adversity Spotted snapweed
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.

Substrate Spotted snapweed
Cultivate these annual plants in a soil with a not too accentuated drainage, which remains slightly humid.
