I like the article Gaulnettya Is an evergreen; during spring iIt assumes a pinkwhite colouring; the adult specimens are small in size and reach 1 m high. The Gaulnettya has a panel-like development, therefore it tends to widen very much. These plants are shrubs. Feed Gaulnettya
To obtain a florid development it is important to remember to fertilize our shrubs periodically; in the spring let’s use a fertilizer rich in nitrogen and potassium, which will favour the development of new vegetation and of flowerings. We can intervene at the end of the winter, mixing a good dose of slow release organic fertilizer to the soil surrounding our plant. During the spring it is also possible to act periodically, with liquid or powder fertilizers, to add to the water when irrigating, every 20-25 days. Temperatures Gaulnettya
Let's grow the the Gaulnettya outdoors; they can bear very harsh minimum temperatures, even when many degrees below zero. Locate this plant in a partially shaded place, where it is exposed to solar rays during the coolest hours of the day.When the minimum temperatures are very low we can protec the more sensible brushes by covering their roots with dry leaves or straw. Irrigation Gaulnettya
Water when the ground is dry; in case of prolonged droughts water very often, otherwise every 2-3 weeks can be enough using 1-2 buckets of water ; avoid water stagnations and excessive watering. If we decide to grow a specimen of the Gaulnettya in a container, we should remember that it will have slightly different needs compared to a specimen grown in the ground: we should pay more attention to its water and nutritional needs and check more often for possible development of parassites. Adversity Gaulnettya
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture. Substrate Gaulnettya
The Gaulnettya prefers quite drained soils, with a low PH.
