Temperatures Saxifraga hirsutaPosizione mezza ombra
We suggest growing the the Saxifraga hirsuta outdoors year round, as they don't fear cold weather. These plants lose the aerial part during the coldest months of the year. As spring begins, stems and leaves quickly start to reproduce.We suggest locating this plant in a partially shady place, where it is exposed to direct sunlight during the coolest hours of the day.

Care Saxifraga hirsuta
The Saxifraga hirsuta is a plant for a rock garden. The Saxifraga hirsuta Is large in size; in spring it assumes a white colouring. These are evergreen plants, which means they keep their leaves year round. These plants grow covering the whole land at their disposal.

Feed Saxifraga hirsuta
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.

Irrigation Saxifraga hirsutaTenere Umido
The Saxifraga hirsuta needs to be watered quite frequently, every 1-2 weeks ; if there are abundant rains we can diminish watering, which should be done only when the soil is dry. The suggested quantity is 2-3 glasses of water . Perennial plants are subject to some months of vegetational rest. During these months it isn't necessary to water them.

Adversity Saxifraga hirsuta
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.

Substrate Saxifraga hirsuta
These plants need a scarcely drained soil, which can remain slightly damp.
