Generalities Horsebean
Horsebean isn't an evergreen; during the summer it assumes a green colouring; the adult species are medium in size and reach 1,2 m in height. It has a climber development, for a correct development it is best to place these plants near a support on which they can develop themselves. The Horsebean is a year or two year long plant. Fertilization Horsebean
In the spring we suggest fertilizing our plants with fertilizers rich in nitrogen, to favour the development of the radical apparatus of the young leaves. We can use liquid fertilizers, to be added every 15-20 days, or slow release fertilizers, to be added to the cultivation soil every 3-4 months. Exposure HorsebeanSole pieno
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. For a balanced development, it is best to position the The Horsebean in a place where it is exposed to at least a few hours of direct sunlight.Let’s remember that a large part of the leaves of the medicinal plants can be used for alimentary use, therefore let’s use insecticides and anticryptogamics for agricultural use, far from harvest season. Watering HorsebeanTenere asciutto
We suggest watering these plants only from time to time, but we must remember to wet the soil deeply using 2-3 glasses of water every 2-3 weeks . Before harvesting and using them, let’s be informed on the balsamic period, rather the period in which the active principles are present in a greater quantity in the plant we have chosen. Treatments Horsebean
Soil Horsebean
We recommend growing these medicinal plants in a soft and light, very well drained soil.
