Lenten rose Helleborus x sternii

Lenten rose I like the article

Light Lenten rosePosizione mezza ombra
Avoid excessively sunny places; we suggest to put the The in a partially shady spot. 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.These plants are rustic in the areas with a Mediterranean climate, therefore they can be grown outside.

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

Fertilize Lenten rose
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.

Water Lenten roseTenere asciutto
Let's water abundantly, moistening the soil deeply with 2-3 glasses of water , but let's act only when the substratum is dry, leaving it dry even for 1-2 weeks before watering it. These plants display a pretty long period of vegetational rest. During this time it isn't necessary to water the plants.

Pests Lenten rose
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.

Mold Lenten rose
Locate these plants in a soft and deep, very well drained soil.
