Temperatures Eucryphia milliganiiPosizione mezza ombra
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. We suggest locating this plant in a partially shady place, where it is exposed to direct sunlight during the coolest hours of the day.The Eucryphia milliganii 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.

Feed Eucryphia milliganii
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.

Care Eucryphia milliganii
These plants have an erect, columnar development. The Eucryphia milliganii has a shrub- like development. The Eucryphia milliganii Is medium in size; in summer it assumes a white colouring. These are evergreen plants, which means they keep their leaves year round.

Irrigation Eucryphia milliganiiTenere Umido
The Eucryphia milliganii needs to be watered quite frequently, every 2-3 weeks ; if there are abundant rains we can diminish watering, which should be done only when the soil is dry. The suggested quantity is 1-2 buckets of water . 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.

Adversity Eucryphia milliganii
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.
