Temperatures MilkwortSole pieno
These plants lose the aerial part during the coldest months of the year. As spring begins, stems and leaves quickly start to reproduce. We suggest growing the The Milkwort outdoors year round, as they don't fear cold weather.Plant which needs at least a few hours a day of sunlight.

Irrigation MilkwortTenere asciutto
Perennial plants are subject to some months of vegetational rest. During these months it isn't necessary to water them. Watering takes place only when the soil has been dry for days, usually every 1-2 weeks can be enough; if the climate is particularly hot we can slightly intensify the irrigations, using 2-3 glasses of water .

Feed Milkwort
We suggest adding to the irrigation water, in the spring, every 20-25 days, a specific fertilizer for flowering plants. We can also mix to the soil near the plants a granular slow release fertilizer, which has a 3-4 month action.

Adversity Milkwort
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 Milkwort
We suggest a substratum characterized by an excellent drainage.
