Temperatures Wild chestnutPosizione luminosa
We suggest locating the vases in a pretty bright place, although avoiding direct sunlight, which could damage the foliage. Let's avoid exposing the The Wild chestnut to temperatures below 15°C. During late Spring we can place them outdoors, possibly sheltered by the wind.It is advisable to grow the The Wild chestnut in a very bright place, although it should be protected by direct solar rays.

Irrigation Wild chestnutTenere asciutto
It is advisable to water the plants avoiding to leave water in the saucer, because stagnant water often develops fungal diseases. We suggest watering the The Wild chestnut 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.

Feed Wild chestnut
During the spring let’s regularly use a fertilizer rich with nitrogen and potassium to favour the development of the new vegetation; fertilization is done by adding fertilizer to the irrigating water, every 15-20 days.

Adversity Wild chestnut
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 Wild chestnut
These plants favour soft and very well drained soils. We suggest, every 2-3 years to repot the plants, changing the soil.
