Irrigation SnowdropTenere Umido
Perennial plants are subject to some months of vegetational rest. During these months it isn't necessary to water them. The Snowdrop needs to be watered quite frequently, every 1-2 weeks ; if there are abundant rains we can diminish watering, which should be done only when the soil is dry. The suggested quantity is 2-3 glasses of water .

Care Snowdrop
These plants grow covering the whole land at their disposal. The Snowdrop is small in size and 20 cm in height; in the winter it assumes a white colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year. These plants have trunks or roots which store nourishment, originating bulbs or tubers.

Temperatures SnowdropPosizione mezza ombra
We suggest locating this plant in a partially shady place, where it is exposed to direct sunlight during the coolest hours of the day. These plants lose the aerial part during the coldest months of the year. As spring begins, stems and leaves quickly start to reproduce.The Snowdrop 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.

Adversity Snowdrop
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 Snowdrop
These plants need a scarcely drained soil, which can remain slightly damp.
