Temperatures Opium poppySole pieno
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. Let's grow the the Opium poppy outdoors; they can bear very harsh minimum temperatures, even when many degrees below zero.Let's grow the the Opium poppy in a luminous place, with direct sunlight.

Irrigation Opium poppyTenere asciutto
These plants display a pretty long period of vegetational rest. During this time it isn't necessary to water the plants. We suggest watering the the Opium poppy 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.

Feed Opium poppy
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.

Adversity Opium poppy
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 Opium poppy
Locate these plants in a soft and deep, very well drained soil.
