Puya chilensis I like the article

Watering Puya chilensisTenere 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 1-2 weeks . Generally during the period of vegetatational rest it isn't necessary to water our perennial plants, which in many cases lose their aerial part.

Exposure Puya chilensisSole pieno
For a balanced development, it is best to position the the Puya chilensis in a place where it is exposed to at least a few hours of direct sunlight. The Puya chilensis needs a minimum temperature superior to 15°C, during this time of the year it is best to check the night temperatures before setting it outside.Usually during the coldest periods of the year the aerial part of these plants dries; it will begin to develop again the spring after.

Generalities Puya chilensis
The Puya chilensis develops like a perennial herb. Growing they develop a round-shape shrub. This plant in the spring, summer, autumn, winter assumes a green colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 1 m high. It keeps its leaves in the winter.

Treatments Puya chilensis
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 Puya chilensis
Grow these perennial plants in a very well drained substratum.
