Temperatures Strobilanthe atropurpureusPosizione mezza ombra
The Strobilanthe atropurpureus can bear minimum temperatures a few degrees below zero; in general during the Spring it would be grown outdoors without any problems, but if the harsh temperatures should go down it is advised to cover it with non-woven fabric. 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 locating this plant in a partially shady place, where it is exposed to direct sunlight during the coolest hours of the day.

Care Strobilanthe atropurpureus
The Strobilanthe atropurpureus is a perennial herb plant. The Strobilanthe atropurpureus is medium in size and 1,2 m in height; in the autumn it assumes a purple 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 Strobilanthe atropurpureus
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 Strobilanthe atropurpureusTenere 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 Strobilanthe atropurpureus
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 Strobilanthe atropurpureus
We suggest a substratum characterized by an excellent drainage.
