Temperatures Peruvian-lily
The Peruvian-lily can bear minimum temperatures a few degrees below zero; in general during the Spring it would be grown outdoors without any problems, but if the harsh temperatures should go down it is advised to cover it with non-woven fabric. These plants lose the aerial part during the coldest months of the year. As spring begins, stems and leaves quickly start to reproduce.Plant which needs at least a few hours a day of sunlight.

Care Peruvian-lily
These plants have trunks or roots which store nourishment, originating bulbs or tubers. The Peruvian-lily is large in size and 1 m in height; in the summer it assumes a orange colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year. These plants give origin to a brush with a rounded form.

Feed Peruvian-lily
We suggest adding to the irrigation water, in the spring, every 20-25 days, a specific fertilizer for flowering plants. We can also mix to the soil near the plants a granular slow release fertilizer, which has a 3-4 month action.

Irrigation Peruvian-lily
Watering takes place only when the soil has been dry for days, usually every 1-2 weeks can be enough; if the climate is particularly hot we can slightly intensify the irrigations, using 2-3 glasses of water . Perennial plants are subject to some months of vegetational rest. During these months it isn't necessary to water them.

Adversity Peruvian-lily
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.

Substrate Peruvian-lily
We suggest a substratum characterized by an excellent drainage.
