Setterwort Helleborus foetidus

Setterwort I like the article

Exposure SetterwortPosizione mezza ombra
It is advisable to position this plant in a partially shady place, where it is exposed to direct sunlight only during the coolest hours of the day. These plants lose the aerial part during the coldest months of the year. As spring begins, stems and leaves quickly start to reproduce.The Setterwort should be grown outdoors; it can bear very harsh temperatures without any problems, even many degrees below zero.

Generalities Setterwort
These plants grow covering the whole land at their disposal. The Setterwort Is small in size; in winter it assumes a yellowgreen colouring. These are evergreen plants, which means they keep their leaves year round. The Setterwort is a perennial herb plant.

Fertilization Setterwort
We suggest adding to the irrigation water, in the spring, every 20-25 days, a specific fertilizer for flowering plants. We can also mix to the soil near the plants a granular slow release fertilizer, which has a 3-4 month action.

Watering SetterwortTenere asciutto
Water rarely, about once every 1-2 weeks with 2-3 glasses of water , keeping the soil dry for a few days before watering again; when wetting we suggest avoiding surpluses, however to wet the soil deep down. Perennial plants are subject to some months of vegetational rest. During these months it isn't necessary to water them.

Treatments Setterwort
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.

Soil Setterwort
We suggest a substratum characterized by an excellent drainage.
