Cheesewood I like the article

Care Cheesewood
The Cheesewood develops in an erect manner and, as the years go by, becomes a tree. These plants give origin to a brush with a rounded form. The Cheesewood Is small in size; in winter it assumes a white colouring. These are evergreen plants, which means they keep their leaves year round.

Temperatures CheesewoodSole pieno
Plant which needs at least a few hours a day of sunlight. The Cheesewood 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.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.

Irrigation CheesewoodTenere asciutto
Watering takes place only when the soil has been dry for days, usually every 2-3 weeks can be enough; if the climate is particularly hot we can slightly intensify the irrigations, using 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 Cheesewood
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.

Substrate Cheesewood
For these shrubs it’s necessary to choose a rich and deep substratum , which presents an excellent drainage.
