I like the article The Bottlebrush buckeye is large in size and 4 m in height; in the summer it assumes a white colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year. These plants give origin to a brush with a rounded form. The Bottlebrush buckeye has a shrub- like development. Fertilize Bottlebrush buckeye
Shrubs develop new shoots and prepare their flowers during the spring period, therefore we must remember, by the end of the winter, to give it a good dose of humus or mature manure, or granular slow release fertilizer, to be added to the soil at the foot of the plant. During the spring we can choose a fertilizer rich in nitrogen and potassium, to mix with the irrigating water, every 20-25 days. Light Bottlebrush buckeye
We advise cultivating the The Bottlebrush buckeye outdoors, since it doesn't fear cold temperatures. We suggest to position the The Bottlebrush buckeye in a sunny spot at least a few hours a day.To prevent damage caused by the cold temperatures, during the months with definately harsh minimum temperatures, we can protect the shrubs by covering the soil around the stem with straw or dry leaves. Water Bottlebrush buckeye
Water sporadically, with 1-2 buckets of water , leaving the soil dry for a few days before watering again; when watering we suggest avoiding excesses, but to wet the substratum well. Let's act every 2-3 weeks . If we want to grow these plants in a vase, we should water them a bit more often, compared to plants cultivated in the ground; Every 2-3 years we should renew the substratum in the vase, or enrich with organic amender. Pests Bottlebrush buckeye
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. Mold Bottlebrush buckeye
For these shrubs it’s necessary to choose a rich and deep substratum , which presents an excellent drainage.
