Watering Dioon eduleTenere asciutto
We suggest watering these plants only from time to time, but we must remember to wet the soil deeply using 1-2 buckets of water every 4-5 weeks . The young specimens, recently sheltered, need more cures compared to the adult specimens: as the years go by the development of a good radical apparatus allows the plant to be satisfied with the rain, without needing other waterings.

Exposure Dioon eduleSole pieno
For a balanced development, it is best to position the The Dioon edule in a place where it is exposed to at least a few hours of direct sunlight. For a correct development of the plant we suggest avoiding exposure to late freezings; let's grow it in a covered place, locating it outside only in late spring.During the winter young plants could need a light protection from the wind or cold; when putting the very young specimens, with a thin stem, in shelter, we should provide them with a high stake to keep them erect.

Generalities Dioon edule
The Dioon edule develops like a shrub. The Dioon edule develops long arcuate leaves ; the deportment is typical of palm trees , with a pretty erect stem in the lower part, bringing an arched crown. This plant in the spring, summer, autumn, winter assumes a green colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 7 m high. It keeps its leaves in the winter.

Treatments Dioon edule
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.

Soil Dioon edule
Let’s place these trees in a soft and deep, but well drained, soil.
