Fertilization Hovea elliptica
To obtain a florid development it is important to remember to fertilize our shrubs periodically; in the spring let’s use a fertilizer rich in nitrogen and potassium, which will favour the development of new vegetation and of flowerings. We can intervene at the end of the winter, mixing a good dose of slow release organic fertilizer to the soil surrounding our plant. During the spring it is also possible to act periodically, with liquid or powder fertilizers, to add to the water when irrigating, every 20-25 days.

Watering Hovea ellipticaTenere Umido
Water regularly, every The , wetting the ground deeply with 1-2 buckets of water , always waiting for the soil to be dry before watering; avoid leaving stagnant water. If we decide to grow a specimen of the Hovea elliptica in a container, we should remember that it will have slightly different needs compared to a specimen grown in the ground: we should pay more attention to its water and nutritional needs and check more often for possible development of parassites.

Exposure Hovea ellipticaPosizione mezza ombra
When the minimum temperatures are very low we can protec the more sensible brushes by covering their roots with dry leaves or straw. For a balanced development, it is best to position the the Hovea elliptica in a partially shady place, where it can enjoy direct sunlight only during the coolest hours of the day.These plants don't fear the cold weather and therefore can be grown in the garden during any time of year.

Treatments Hovea elliptica
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.
