I like the article The Lenten rose is small in size and 45 cm in height; in the winter it assumes a pink colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year. These plants grow covering the whole land at their disposal. The Lenten rose is a perennial herb plant. Fertilization Lenten rose
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. Exposure Lenten rose
The Lenten rose should be grown outdoors; it can bear very harsh temperatures without any problems, even many degrees below zero. 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. Watering Lenten rose
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 Lenten rose
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 Lenten rose
We suggest a substratum characterized by an excellent drainage.
