Feed Castor oil plant
Annual plants have a quite vigorous development and need, during the spring, a continuous fertilization; when placing them let’s add some humus or mature manure or some slow release granular fertilizer to the ground. During the spring months we suggest mixing some fertilizer for flowering plants to the irrigating water every 20-30 days.

Care Castor oil plant
The Castor oil plant have a one or two year development cycle. The Castor oil plant is medium in size and 1,5 m in height; in the spring, summer, autumn, winter it assumes a red colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year. These plants give origin to a brush with a rounded form.

Irrigation Castor oil plantTenere asciutto
As the cold weather arrives, in autumn, usually waterings is interrupted because these plants can't bear harsh temperatures. Watering takes place only when the soil has been dry for days, usually every 1-2 weeks can be enough; if the climate is particularly hot we can slightly intensify the irrigations, using 2-3 glasses of water .

Adversity Castor oil plant
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.

Substrate Castor oil plant
We advise locating these annual plants in a dissolved soil, with an elevated drainage.
