Temperatures Tropaeolum polyphyllumSole pieno
Let's grow the The Tropaeolum polyphyllum outdoors; they can bear very harsh minimum temperatures, even when many degrees below zero. These plants shouldn't be grown in the garden during the cold period; in autumn the plants usually perish, and should be eradicated from the ground.Let's grow the The Tropaeolum polyphyllum in a luminous place, with direct sunlight.

Care Tropaeolum polyphyllum
These plants are perennial herbs. This plant in the summer assumes a yellow colouring; it is small in size and can reach 10 cm high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter. The development is erect, they tend to grow both in height and in width, giving origin to a rounded shrub.

Feed Tropaeolum polyphyllum
Before placing the annuals, let’s enrich the soil with a small dose of organic fertilizer or slow release granular chemical fertilizer; during the spring we should use a specific fertilizer for flowering plants to be mixed with the irrigating water, to be used every 20-30 days.

Irrigation Tropaeolum polyphyllumTenere asciutto
We suggest watering the The Tropaeolum polyphyllum every 1-2 weeks with 2-3 glasses 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. As the cold weather arrives, in autumn, we can interrupt watering, and let the plants perish.

Adversity Tropaeolum polyphyllum
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.
