Care Ilang-ilang
The Ilang-ilang develops like a tree. The Ilang-ilang develops growing in height, and develops a bare stem, creating a thick crown. This plant in the winter assumes a yellowgreen colouring; it is large in size and can reach 12 m high. It keeps its leaves in the winter.

Temperatures Ilang-ilangSole pieno
For a balanced development of the the Ilang-ilang it is advisable to locate it in a place where it is exposed to at least a few hours of direct sunlight. During the spring the the Ilang-ilang can't stand the cold weather; should the climate be particularly harsh, with minimum night-time temperatures some degrees below zero, let's cover our plant with non-woven fabric.Seeing that the foliage of the aromatic plants is used for alimentary needs, we advise paying attention to the use of insecticides and anticryptogamics: let’s use only those for agriculture and let’s follow very strictly the lacking period written on the label before harvesting these plants.

Irrigation Ilang-ilangTenere asciutto
Let’s water these plants only when the substratum is clearly dry using 2-3 glasses of water ; during this period of the year we should intervene every 2-3 weeks , or even less if the weather is rainy. A great part of the aromatic plants are used fresh; during the spring and in the summer it is possible to harvest a good quantity of them, to conserve dehydrated or frozen, to use them during the cold months.

Adversity Ilang-ilang
The spring weather, with a high temperature swing between the day and night hours, and pretty frequent rains, can favour the development of fungus diseases, which should be treated pre-emptively with a systemic fungicide, to use before the gems grow excessively; at the end of the winter we also suggest a wide range insecticide to prevent the attack of aphids and cochineals. We should always remember to do these treatments when there aren't flowerings in the garden.

Substrate Ilang-ilang
We recommend cultivating these aromatic plants in a soft and light, very well drained, soil.
