These plants are grown in apartment or in a temperated green house; they can be brought outdoors when the minimum temperatures are above 15° C. When the minimum temperatures are very low we can protec the more sensible brushes by covering their roots with dry leaves or straw.The Leucospermum reflexum should be preferably located in a place where it can have at least a few hours a day of direct solar light.
Cultivation Leucospermum reflexum
These plants are shrubs. Leucospermum reflexum Is an evergreen; during spring iIt assumes a redpink colouring; the adult specimens are medium in size and reach 3 m high. When growing these plants tend to go up, developing very little in width, and they tend to have a columnar development.
Fertilize Leucospermum reflexum
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.
Water Leucospermum reflexum
Let's water abundantly, moistening the soil deeply with 1-2 buckets of water , but let's act only when the substratum is dry, leaving it dry even for 2-3 weeks before watering it. If we decide to grow a specimen of the Leucospermum reflexum 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.
Pests Leucospermum reflexum
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.
Mold Leucospermum reflexum
Locate in a soft soil with an accentuated drainage.
