I like the article This plant in the summer assumes a yellow colouring; it is small in size and can reach 25 cm high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter. The Roscoea cautleoides has a panel-like development, therefore it tends to widen very much. These plants are bulbeous. Fertilize Roscoea cautleoides
Let’s use a slow release fertilizer, or manure, when planting, mixing the product to the ground; during the spring let’s mix, every 15-20 days, a specific fertilizer for bulbous plants to our irrigation water, starting from the moment in which the first flowers are withering. Light Roscoea cautleoides
These plants are rustic in the areas with a Mediterranean climate, therefore they can be grown outside. The Roscoea cautleoides should be preferably located in a place where it can have at least a few hours a day of direct solar light.If you desire cleaning the ground from the bulbous plants after flowering, wait for the leaves to dry; later it’s possible to take the bulbs out of the ground and place them somewhere dark, cool and dry, until the best season to plant them again. Water Roscoea cautleoides
Water regularly, every 1-2 weeks , wetting the soil deeply with about 1-2 glasses of water ,but waiting for the substratum to dry completely between one watering and another; avoid leaving stagnant water. We suggest not to exceed with the waterings: if the soil remains damp too long, it can favour the development of rotten in the bulbs. Pests Roscoea cautleoides
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. Mold Roscoea cautleoides
Cultivate in a quite humid, not excessively drained, soil.
