Temperatures Sea hollySole pieno
Let's grow the the Sea holly 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 can be put outdoors only if any danger of freezings has gone by.

Care Sea holly
The development is erect, they tend to grow both in height and in width, giving origin to a rounded shrub. Sea holly Is an evergreen; during summer iIt assumes a white colouring; the adult specimens are large in size and reach 2 m high. These plants are perennial herbs.

Feed Sea holly
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 Sea hollyTenere asciutto
We suggest watering the the Sea holly 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 Sea holly
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 Sea holly
Let’s prefer dissolved soils, with an excellent drainage.
