Exposure Sweet baySole pieno
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. For a balanced development, it is best to position the The Sweet bay in a place where it is exposed to at least a few hours of direct sunlight.The Sweet bay plant can be grown in the garden throughout the whole year. It doesn't fear cold weather and it bears very harsh minimum temperatures.

Fertilization Sweet bay
In the spring we suggest fertilizing our plants with fertilizers rich in nitrogen, to favour the development of the radical apparatus of the young leaves. We can use liquid fertilizers, to be added every 15-20 days, or slow release fertilizers, to be added to the cultivation soil every 3-4 months.

Generalities Sweet bay
They tend to develop like erect small trees. The Sweet bay develops like a shrub. This plant in the winter assumes a yellowgreen colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 5 m high. It keeps its leaves in the winter.

Watering Sweet bayTenere 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 2-3 weeks . 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.

Treatments Sweet bay
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.

Soil Sweet bay
We recommend growing these medicinal plants in a soft and light, very well drained soil.
