Light DalechampiaPosizione luminosa
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. Let's position the plants where they can enjoy a good source of light,yet avoiding direct sunshine, which could cause antiaesthetic burnings on the foliage.We suggest to leave this plant in a place where it is not directly exposed to solar rays, which might ruin its leaves; in any case it is best to choose a very bright spot.

Cultivation Dalechampia
The Dalechampia has a shrub- like development. The Dalechampia Is medium in size; in summer it assumes a pink colouring. These are evergreen plants, which means they keep their leaves year round. These plants are climbers, therefore they grow leaning against supports of all types.

Fertilize Dalechampia
During this period of the year it's good to fertilize our plants every 15-20 days; let’s choose a specific fertilizer, for house plants, flowering or green ones, to add to the water used to irrigate. We should prefer fertilizers rich in nitrogen and potassium, to favour flowering and the development of new vegetation.

Water DalechampiaTenere asciutto
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 . Let's remember to empty the plant saucers after watering, to avoid that stagnant water could damage the roots.

Pests Dalechampia
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 Dalechampia
Let’s grow these apartment plants in a very well drained soil.
