Dioon spinulosum

Exposure Dioon spinulosumSole pieno
With a particularly windy climate we suggest securing young trees to long solid stakes, to avoid that the wind could bare young and not very developed roots; specimens which are only a few years old might fear intense cold and wind. The Dioon spinulosum should be grown in a bright place, with direct sunlight.The Dioon spinulosum can't stand temperatures below zero; they should be grown in cold green houses or at least in a place where they are sheltered by the wind; when every risk of late freezings has gone by we can place them outside or remove the protections.

Fertilization Dioon spinulosum
Tree fertilization should be done at the beginning of the spring or of autumn, using humus or mature manure; this should be done by mixing a few buckets of fertilizer to the ground, around the trunk of the tree, every 2-3 years or when the tree implanted.

Generalities Dioon spinulosum
These plants have an arcuate deportment, like palm trees. The Dioon spinulosum has a shrub- like development. The Dioon spinulosum Is medium in size; in spring, summer, autumn, winter it assumes a green colouring. These are evergreen plants, which means they keep their leaves year round.

Watering Dioon spinulosumTenere asciutto
Water rarely, about once every 4-5 weeks with 1-2 buckets of water , keeping the soil dry for a few days before watering again; when wetting we suggest avoiding surpluses, however to wet the soil deep down. We advise watering the young specimens, or the recently sheltered ones; the adult specimens usually are satisfied with rain water.

Treatments Dioon spinulosum
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.

Soil Dioon spinulosum
Grow these plants in a dissolved and deep, but well drained soil.
