These plants don't like excessively harsh temperatures, with night-time minimum temperatures below 0°C. during the spring in general they are grown in a covered place, moving them outdoors, or uncovering them, when there isn't any danger of sudden temperature drops. These plants have an annual development, therefore when it becomes cold they deteriorate, and get completely eradicated.We suggest to position the The Painted tongue in a sunny spot at least a few hours a day.
Cultivation Painted tongue
The Painted tongue have a one or two year development cycle. The Painted tongue is medium in size and 60 cm 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.
Fertilize Painted tongue
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.
Water Painted tongue
Water sporadically, with 2-3 glasses of water , leaving the soil dry for a few days before watering again; when watering we suggest avoiding excesses, but to wet the substratum well. Let's act every 1-2 weeks . As the cold weather arrives, in autumn, usually waterings is interrupted because these plants can't bear harsh temperatures.
Pests Painted tongue
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.
Mold Painted tongue
We advise locating these annual plants in a dissolved soil, with an elevated drainage.
