Cultivation Gentian
The Gentian develops like a perennial herb. The development of the The Gentian is Gentian isn't an evergreen; during the summer it assumes a purple colouring; the adult species are medium in size and reach 40 cm in height.

Light GentianSole pieno
Plant which need at least a few hours a day of solar light. The Gentian bears even very harsh temperatures, therefore it can be grown outdoors without feeling endangered by low temperatures.Let’s remember that a large part of the leaves of the medicinal plants can be used for alimentary use, therefore let’s use insecticides and anticryptogamics for agricultural use, far from harvest season.

Water GentianTenere asciutto
We suggest watering these plants with 2-3 glasses of water only when the soil is perfectly dry, generally it needs to be watered about every 2-3 weeks . Let's avoid to exceed. Before harvesting and using them, let’s be informed on the balsamic period, rather the period in which the active principles are present in a greater quantity in the plant we have chosen.

Pests Gentian
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.

Mold Gentian
We recommend growing these medicinal plants in a soft and light, very well drained soil.
