Kaempferia pulchra

Kaempferia pulchra I like the article

Light Kaempferia pulchraPosizione mezza ombra
These plants are grown in apartment or in a temperated green house; they can be brought outdoors when the minimum temperatures are above 15° C. 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.Avoid excessively sunny places; we suggest to put the the in a partially shady spot.

Cultivation Kaempferia pulchra
These plants are perennial herbs. This plant in the summer assumes a purple colouring; it is small in size and can reach 15 cm high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter. The Kaempferia pulchra has a panel-like development, therefore it tends to widen very much.

Fertilize Kaempferia pulchra
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 Kaempferia pulchraTenere Umido
Water regularly, every 1-2 weeks , wetting the soil deeply with about 2-3 glasses of water ,but waiting for the substratum to dry completely between one watering and another; avoid leaving stagnant water. These plants display a pretty long period of vegetational rest. During this time it isn't necessary to water the plants.

Pests Kaempferia pulchra
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 Kaempferia pulchra
We suggest growing these plants in a slightly damp substratum, which isn’t too drained.
