Irrigation CinquefoilTenere asciutto
If we decide to grow a specimen of the Cinquefoil 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. We suggest watering the The Cinquefoil every 2-3 weeks with 1-2 buckets of water , which means when the soil has been dry for days; if the season should be very hot and arid we can intensify the quantity of irrigations, although we must avoid leaving the substratum soaked with water.

Care Cinquefoil
The Cinquefoil has a panel-like development, therefore it tends to widen very much. This plant in the spring assumes a yellow colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 50 cm high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter. These plants are used in rock gardens.

Temperatures CinquefoilSole pieno
Let's grow the The Cinquefoil in a luminous place, with direct sunlight. When the minimum temperatures are very low we can protec the more sensible brushes by covering their roots with dry leaves or straw.Let's grow the The Cinquefoil outdoors; they can bear very harsh minimum temperatures, even when many degrees below zero.

Adversity Cinquefoil
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 Cinquefoil
Locate in a soft soil with an accentuated drainage.
