Temperatures Cape primrose
Let's avoid exposing the The Cape primrose to temperatures below 15°C. During late Spring we can place them outdoors, possibly sheltered by the wind. We suggest locating the vases in a pretty bright place, although avoiding direct sunlight, which could damage the foliage.Locate this plant in a partially shaded place, where it is exposed to solar rays during the coolest hours of the day.

Care Cape primrose
These plants are perennial herbs. Cape primrose Is an evergreen; during winter iIt assumes a purple colouring; the adult specimens are small in size and reach 25 cm high. The Cape primrose has a panel-like development, therefore it tends to widen very much.

Feed Cape primrose
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 Cape primrose
Water when the ground is dry; in case of prolonged droughts water very often, otherwise every 1-2 weeks can be enough using 2-3 glasses of water ; avoid water stagnations and excessive watering. It is advisable to water the plants avoiding to leave water in the saucer, because stagnant water often develops fungal diseases.

Adversity Cape primrose
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.
