Care Nutmeg
This plant in the winter assumes a green colouring; it is large in size and can reach 7 m high. It keeps its leaves in the winter. The Nutmeg develops growing in height, and develops a bare stem, creating a thick crown. The Nutmeg develops like a tree. Feed Nutmeg
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. Temperatures NutmegPosizione mezza ombra
The Nutmeg can't tolerate freezings, therefore it is best to grow it in a cold green house or in an apartment; during late Spring we can place them outside, when all risks of freezings are unprobable. For a balanced development of the The Nutmeg , let's choose a partially shaded place, where it can enjoy direct sunlight only during the coolest hours of the day.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 NutmegTenere Umido
These plants favour quite regular watering, usually 2-3 glasses of water ; we advise in any case to irrigate every 2-3 weeks , when the soil is dry. 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 Nutmeg
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 Nutmeg
We recommend cultivating these plants in a slightly humid, not too drained substratum.
