Naupaka Scaevola

Feed Naupaka
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.

Irrigation NaupakaTenere asciutto
Let’s water these plants only when the substratum is clearly dry using 2-3 glasses of water ; during this period of the year we should intervene every 1-2 weeks , or even less if the weather is rainy. As autumn comes these plants tend to perish, we can diminish the waterings, or even interrupt them.

Temperatures NaupakaPosizione mezza ombra
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. For a balanced development of the the Naupaka , let's choose a partially shaded place, where it can enjoy direct sunlight only during the coolest hours of the day.The Naupaka 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.

Adversity Naupaka
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 Naupaka
Let’s grow these plants in a soft and dissolved, but well drained, soil.

Seeing the quite contained development it’s possible to grow these plants in a container. The indications given in this article are related to a medium size plant.
