Cultivation Crimson bottlebrush
The Crimson bottlebrush has a shrub- like development. These plants have an erect, columnar development. The Crimson bottlebrush Is medium in size; in summer it assumes a red colouring. These are evergreen plants, which means they keep their leaves year round.

Light Crimson bottlebrushSole pieno
We suggest to position the The Crimson bottlebrush in a sunny spot at least a few hours a day. We suggest growing the The Crimson bottlebrush in the garden; these are very rustic plants.To prevent damage caused by the cold temperatures, during the months with definately harsh minimum temperatures, we can protect the shrubs by covering the soil around the stem with straw or dry leaves.

Water Crimson bottlebrushTenere asciutto
Water sporadically, with 1-2 buckets of water , leaving the soil dry for a few days before watering again; when watering we suggest avoiding excesses, but to wet the substratum well. Let's act every 2-3 weeks . If we want to grow these plants in a vase, we should water them a bit more often, compared to plants cultivated in the ground; Every 2-3 years we should renew the substratum in the vase, or enrich with organic amender.

Pests Crimson bottlebrush
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.

Mold Crimson bottlebrush
For these shrubs it’s necessary to choose a rich and deep substratum , which presents an excellent drainage.
