Viscaria oculata

Care Viscaria oculata
This plant in the summer assumes a bluepurplepink colouring; it is small in size and can reach 40 cm high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter. The Viscaria oculata has a panel-like development, therefore it tends to widen very much. These plants have a one or two year development. Feed Viscaria oculata
Before placing the annuals, let’s enrich the soil with a small dose of organic fertilizer or slow release granular chemical fertilizer; during the spring we should use a specific fertilizer for flowering plants to be mixed with the irrigating water, to be used every 20-30 days. Temperatures Viscaria oculata
These plants can be put outdoors only if any danger of freezings has gone by. Let's grow the the Viscaria oculata in a luminous place, with direct sunlight.These plants shouldn't be grown in the garden during the cold period; in autumn the plants usually perish, and should be eradicated from the ground. Irrigation Viscaria oculata
We suggest watering the the Viscaria oculata every 1-2 weeks with 2-3 glasses of water , which means when the soil has been dry for days; if the season should be very hot and arid we can intensify the quantity of irrigations, although we must avoid leaving the substratum soaked with water. As the cold weather arrives, in autumn, we can interrupt watering, and let the plants perish. Adversity Viscaria oculata
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture. Substrate Viscaria oculata
They prefer dissolved soils, with an optimal drainage.
