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 Sprekelia formosissima in a luminous place, with direct sunlight.These plants can be put outdoors only if any danger of freezings has gone by.
Feed Sprekelia formosissima
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.
Care Sprekelia formosissima
The development is erect, they tend to grow both in height and in width, giving origin to a rounded shrub. These plants are bulbeous. This plant in the spring assumes a red colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 35 cm high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter.
Irrigation Sprekelia formosissima
We suggest watering the the Sprekelia formosissima 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. If we decide to grow a specimen of the Sprekelia formosissima 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 Sprekelia formosissima
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 Sprekelia formosissima
Locate in a soft soil with an accentuated drainage.
