Watering Island mallowTenere asciutto
We suggest watering these plants only from time to time, but we must remember to wet the soil deeply using 2-3 glasses of water every 1-2 weeks . As autumn comes these plants tend to perish, we can diminish the waterings, or even interrupt them.

Exposure Island mallowSole pieno
For a balanced development, it is best to position the the Island mallow in a place where it is exposed to at least a few hours of direct sunlight. The Island mallow usually doesn't have temperature problems during this time of year, because it can bear freezings although not too intense ones.Annual plants are usually not grown during the cold period; as autumn arrives we can uproot them and save the seeds for the year after.

Treatments Island mallow
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.
