Let's grow the the European centaury in a luminous place, with direct sunlight. Since the foliage is used to be eaten, let’s use specific insecticides and anticryptogamics, far from the harvest period.These plants don't like the cold weather during this time of year. If the minimum night-time temperatures are very harsh it is best to cover the the European centaury with non-woven fabric.
Care European centaury
The European centaury has a panel-like development, therefore it tends to widen very much. This plant in the summer assumes a yellow colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 30 cm high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter. These plants have a one or two year development.
Feed European centaury
During the spring months let’s fertilize our plants periodically, every 15-20 days, using a fertilizer rich in nitrogen. When desired, it is also possible to use a slow release fertilizer, to add to the soil every 3-4 months.
Irrigation European centaury
We suggest watering the the European centaury every 2-3 weeks with 2-3 glasses of water , which means when the soil has been dry for days; if the season should be very hot and arid we can intensify the quantity of irrigations, although we must avoid leaving the substratum soaked with water. Medicinal plants can be used fresh or dehydrated; if we want to harvest them to put them aside dehydrated, let’s get information regarding the balsamic period of the plant we have chosen, rather when the plant has a higher quantity of active principles.
Adversity European centaury
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.
Substrate European centaury
Let’s prefer dissolved soils, with an excellent drainage.
