Geranium wallichianum Buxton's Blue

Geranium wallichianum I like the article

Temperatures Geranium wallichianumPosizione mezza ombra
Let's grow the The Geranium wallichianum outdoors; they can bear very harsh minimum temperatures, even when many degrees below zero. Perennial plants mainly have a spring and summer development. During the coldest months of the year the aerial part can completely dry out, to come up the year after.Locate this plant in a partially shaded place, where it is exposed to solar rays during the coolest hours of the day.

Care Geranium wallichianum
These plants are perennial herbs. This plant in the summer assumes a blue colouring; it is small in size and can reach 45 cm high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter. The Geranium wallichianum has a panel-like development, therefore it tends to widen very much.

Feed Geranium wallichianum
In the spring let’s fertilize perennials periodically, using a specific fertilizer for flowering plants, to add to the irrigating water, every 20-25 days; or we can spread a slow release fertilizer near the plants every 3-4 months.

Irrigation Geranium wallichianumTenere asciutto
We suggest watering the The Geranium wallichianum every 1-2 weeks with 2-3 glasses of water , which means when the soil has been dry for days; if the season should be very hot and arid we can intensify the quantity of irrigations, although we must avoid leaving the substratum soaked with water. These plants display a pretty long period of vegetational rest. During this time it isn't necessary to water the plants.

Adversity Geranium wallichianum
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture.

Substrate Geranium wallichianum
Locate these plants in a soft and deep, very well drained soil.
