Cultivation Common chickweed
The Common chickweed is small in size and 15 cm in height; in the summer it assumes a greenbluewhite colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year. These plants grow covering the whole land at their disposal. The Common chickweed have a one or two year development cycle. Fertilize Common chickweed
During this period of the year, our plants need a frequent fertilization, to guarantee a good quantity of nutritional substances, useful during the development of new vegetation. We can add a fertilizer rich in nitrogen to the irrigating water, every 15-20 days, or a granular slow release fertilizer, to add to the ground every 3-4 months. Light Common chickweedPosizione mezza ombra
These plants don't like excessively harsh temperatures, with night-time minimum temperatures below 0°C. during the spring in general they are grown in a covered place, moving them outdoors, or uncovering them, when there isn't any danger of sudden temperature drops. Locate this plant in a partially shady place, where it can take in the solar rays during the coolest hours of the day.Exposure of the medicinal plants. Water Common chickweedTenere Umido
Let's wet abundantly with about 2-3 glasses of water , acting when the soil is pretty dry; during this period of the year we can water even every 2-3 weeks . We can use some medicinal plants in the kitchen, fresh; instead if we want to harvest them to use them dehydrated, let’s be sure about their balsamic period, meaning the period of the year in which every period has a higher quantity of active principles. Pests Common chickweed
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. Mold Common chickweed
These medicinal plants need a slightly heavy soil, which withholds humidity little.
