 Fertilization Common borage
During the spring months let’s add to the irrigating water, every 15-20 days, some fertilizer for green plants, rich in nitrogen and potassium.
Watering Common borage
Water rarely, about once every 2-3 weeks with 2-3 glasses of water , keeping the soil dry for a few days before watering again; when wetting we suggest avoiding surpluses, however to wet the soil deep down. To use these plants year round we can proceed with harvesting, in the spring or in the summer. The plants should be washed and dried well, then dehydrated, or frozen, to use them during the year.
Exposure Common borage
The leaves of aromatic plants are used in the kitchen; if necessary let’s remember to use only agricultural parasiticides, and let’s follow the lacking period indicated on the label: if we spray a plant we can ‘t use its leaves for alimentary use for the period of time indicated, when the chemical product is harmful. The Common borage should be grown in a bright place, with direct sunlight.The Common borage should be grown outdoors; it can bear very harsh temperatures without any problems, even many degrees below zero.
