Temperatures Mealycup sageSole pieno
Let's grow the The Mealycup sage In a cold green house or in the house, as they fear frost; we can move them outside in late spring, with minimum temperatures above zero. These plants lose the aerial part during the coldest months of the year. As spring begins, stems and leaves quickly start to reproduce.Plant which needs at least a few hours a day of sunlight.

Care Mealycup sage
The Mealycup sage have a one or two year development cycle. The Mealycup sage is medium in size and 45 cm in height; in the spring, summer, autumn, winter it assumes a bluepurple colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year. These plants grow covering the whole land at their disposal.

Feed Mealycup sage
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.

Irrigation Mealycup sageTenere asciutto
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 . Perennial plants are subject to some months of vegetational rest. During these months it isn't necessary to water them.

Adversity Mealycup sage
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 Mealycup sage
We suggest a substratum characterized by an excellent drainage.
