Temperatures Columnea mocrophyllaPosizione mezza ombra
Let's position the plants where they can enjoy a good source of light,yet avoiding direct sunshine, which could cause antiaesthetic burnings on the foliage. These plants don't like cold temperatures, therefore in the spring it is best to place them outside only when temperatures are above 15°C.We suggest locating this plant in a partially shady place, where it is exposed to direct sunlight during the coolest hours of the day.

Irrigation Columnea mocrophyllaTenere Umido
Let's remember to empty the plant saucers after watering, to avoid that stagnant water could damage the roots. The Columnea mocrophylla needs to be watered quite frequently, every 1-2 weeks ; if there are abundant rains we can diminish watering, which should be done only when the soil is dry. The suggested quantity is 2-3 glasses of water .

Feed Columnea mocrophylla
During this period of the year it's good to fertilize our plants every 15-20 days; let’s choose a specific fertilizer, for house plants, flowering or green ones, to add to the water used to irrigate. We should prefer fertilizers rich in nitrogen and potassium, to favour flowering and the development of new vegetation.

Adversity Columnea mocrophylla
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.

Substrate Columnea mocrophylla
The Columnea mocrophylla favours not very drained soils, which can slightly withhold humidity.
