Temperatures Lippia citriodoraPosizione mezza ombra
During the spring the the Lippia citriodora 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.For a balanced development of the the Lippia citriodora , let's choose a partially shaded place, where it can enjoy direct sunlight only during the coolest hours of the day.

Care Lippia citriodora
The Lippia citriodora develops like a perennial herb. Lippia citriodora isn't an evergreen; during the autumn it assumes a greenwhite colouring; the adult species are medium in size and reach 50 cm in height. The development of the the Lippia citriodora is

Feed Lippia citriodora
Medicinal plants develop new shoots and foliage during the spring period, this is why it is advisable to fertilize periodically, every 15-20 days, using a fertilizer rich in nitrogen and potassium, to mix with the irrigating water.

Irrigation Lippia citriodoraTenere 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 Lippia citriodora
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 Lippia citriodora
We recommend cultivating these aromatic plants in a soft and light, very well drained, soil.
