For climber plants to develop without problems, let’s act at the end of the winter, or in autumn, adding some manure, or a slow release fertilizer to the ground. In the spring, every 25-30 days, let’s add some specific fertilizer for green or flowering plants to the irrigating water.

Irrigation Scarlet passionflower
Watering takes place only when the soil has been dry for days, usually every 2-3 weeks can be enough; if the climate is particularly hot we can slightly intensify the irrigations, using 1-2 buckets of water . These plants have a vigorous development; when the stem is wider it might need abundant watering during the long summer months.

Adversity Scarlet passionflower
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.

Substrate Scarlet passionflower
