Fertilize Parakeetflower
In the spring let’s remember to fertilize our perennial plants, using a slow release granular fertilizer, to add in one solution every 3-4 months. If desired we can also use a liquid fertilizer for flowering plants, to mix with the irrigation water every 20-25 days.

Water ParakeetflowerTenere 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 1-2 weeks . Let's avoid to exceed. Generally during the period of vegetatational rest it isn't necessary to water our perennial plants, which in many cases lose their aerial part.

Light ParakeetflowerPosizione mezza ombra
Usually during the coldest periods of the year the aerial part of these plants dries; it will begin to develop again the spring after. It prefers partially shady locations, where it can be reached by the solar rays only during the coolest hours of the day.The Parakeetflower is a pretty delicate plant, which fears minimum temperatures below 15°C; during late spring it can be cultivated outdoors.

Pests Parakeetflower
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 Parakeetflower
Grow these perennial plants in a very well drained substratum.
