Temperatures Beard tongueSole pieno
Perennial plants mainly have a spring and summer development. During the coldest months of the year the aerial part can completely dry out, to come up the year after. Let's grow the The Beard tongue in a luminous place, with direct sunlight.These plants don't like the cold weather during this time of year. If the minimum night-time temperatures are very harsh it is best to cover the The Beard tongue with non-woven fabric.

Feed Beard tongue
In the spring let’s fertilize perennials periodically, using a specific fertilizer for flowering plants, to add to the irrigating water, every 20-25 days; or we can spread a slow release fertilizer near the plants every 3-4 months.

Care Beard tongue
The Beard tongue has a panel-like development, therefore it tends to widen very much. These plants are perennial herbs. Beard tongue Is an evergreen; during summer iIt assumes a pink colouring; the adult specimens are small in size and reach 60 cm high.

Irrigation Beard tongueTenere asciutto
We suggest watering the The Beard tongue every 1-2 weeks with 2-3 glasses of water , which means when the soil has been dry for days; if the season should be very hot and arid we can intensify the quantity of irrigations, although we must avoid leaving the substratum soaked with water. These plants display a pretty long period of vegetational rest. During this time it isn't necessary to water the plants.

Adversity Beard tongue
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture.

Substrate Beard tongue
Locate these plants in a soft and deep, very well drained soil.
