Temperatures Enkianthus campanulatusSole pieno
For a balanced development of the the Enkianthus campanulatus it is advisable to locate it in a place where it is exposed to at least a few hours of direct sunlight. During the winter months we can cover a portion of the soil near the roots with dry leaves or other mulch tissue; in this manner we will protect the plant from the harsh climate.The Enkianthus campanulatus is a plant which can be grown in the garden year round.

Care Enkianthus campanulatus
They tend to develop like erect small trees. This plant in the spring assumes a pinkwhite colouring; it is small in size and can reach 4 m high. It keeps its leaves in the winter. The Enkianthus campanulatus develops like a shrub.

Feed Enkianthus campanulatus
Let’s remember to fertilize our shrubs often; we can fertilize enriching our soil with manure, at the end of the winter; or we can give it a fertilizer for flowering plants, every 20-25 days, when watering. If the shrubs are large or cover a large area, we can use a slow release granular fertilizer, to be used every 3-4 months. In the spring let’s favour fertilizers rich in nitrogen and potassium, to favour the development of a new vegetation and of flowerings.

Irrigation Enkianthus campanulatusTenere Umido
These plants favour quite regular watering, usually 1-2 buckets of water ; we advise in any case to irrigate every 2-3 weeks , when the soil is dry. Concerning those specimens grown in vases, let's remember that usually they need more watering, compared to the same shrubs placed in the ground. Moreover, they are often more sensible to temperatures, either very high or very low, and to radical apparatus diseases.

Adversity Enkianthus campanulatus
The spring weather, with a high temperature swing between the day and night hours, and pretty frequent rains, can favour the development of fungus diseases, which should be treated pre-emptively with a systemic fungicide, to use before the gems grow excessively; at the end of the winter we also suggest a wide range insecticide to prevent the attack of aphids and cochineals. We should always remember to do these treatments when there aren't flowerings in the garden.

Substrate Enkianthus campanulatus
These shrubs need to be cultivated in a quite drained, specific soil for acidophilic plants.
