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. For a balanced development, it is best to position the The Cape leadwort in a place where it is exposed to at least a few hours of direct sunlight.The Cape leadwort usually doesn't have temperature problems during this time of year, because it can bear freezings although not too intense ones.
Fertilization Cape leadwort
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.
Generalities Cape leadwort
It has a climber development, for a correct development it is best to place these plants near a support on which they can develop themselves. The Cape leadwort develops like a shrub. This plant in the summer assumes a bluepurple colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 6 m high. It keeps its leaves in the winter.
Watering Cape leadwort
We suggest watering these plants only from time to time, but we must remember to wet the soil deeply using 1-2 buckets of water every 2-3 weeks . 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.
Treatments Cape leadwort
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.
Soil Cape leadwort
