Temperatures African hempSole pieno
Let's grow the The African hemp in a luminous place, with direct sunlight. 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 African hemp to temperatures below 15°C. During late Spring we can place them outdoors, possibly sheltered by the wind.

Care African hemp
The African hemp grows erect, developing a short stem with a small crown, usually roundish. African hemp Is an evergreen; during summer iIt assumes a white colouring; the adult specimens are large in size and reach 4 m high. These plants are shrubs.

Feed African hemp
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.

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

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