Care 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. Feed 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. Temperatures HorsebeanSole pieno
The Horsebean can't tolerate freezings, therefore it is best to grow it in a cold green house or in an apartment; during late Spring we can place them outside, when all risks of freezings are unprobable. For a balanced development of the The Horsebean it is advisable to locate it 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. Irrigation HorsebeanTenere asciutto
Let’s water these plants only when the substratum is clearly dry using 2-3 glasses of water ; during this period of the year we should intervene every 2-3 weeks , or even less if the weather is rainy. 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.
