Since the foliage is used to be eaten, let’s use specific insecticides and anticryptogamics, far from the harvest period. The Cardoon should be preferably located in a place where it can have at least a few hours a day of direct solar light.These plants are rustic in the areas with a Mediterranean climate, therefore they can be grown outside.
Fertilize Cardoon
During the spring months let’s fertilize our plants periodically, every 15-20 days, using a fertilizer rich in nitrogen. When desired, it is also possible to use a slow release fertilizer, to add to the soil every 3-4 months.
Cultivation Cardoon
The development is erect, they tend to grow both in height and in width, giving origin to a rounded shrub. These plants are perennial herbs. This plant in the summer assumes a purple colouring; it is large in size and can reach 2 m high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter.
Water Cardoon
Let's water abundantly, moistening the soil deeply with 2-3 glasses of water , but let's act only when the substratum is dry, leaving it dry even for 2-3 weeks before watering it. Medicinal plants can be used fresh or dehydrated; if we want to harvest them to put them aside dehydrated, let’s get information regarding the balsamic period of the plant we have chosen, rather when the plant has a higher quantity of active principles.
Pests Cardoon
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.
Mold Cardoon
Let’s prefer dissolved soils, with an excellent drainage.
