I like the article This plant in the summer assumes a white colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 2 m high. It keeps its leaves in the winter. Growing they develop a round-shape shrub. The Mountain fetterbush develops like a shrub. Feed Mountain fetterbush
Let’s remember to fertilize our shrubs often; we can fertilize enriching our soil with manure, at the end of the winter; or we can give it a fertilizer for flowering plants, every 20-25 days, when watering. If the shrubs are large or cover a large area, we can use a slow release granular fertilizer, to be used every 3-4 months. In the spring let’s favour fertilizers rich in nitrogen and potassium, to favour the development of a new vegetation and of flowerings. Temperatures Mountain fetterbush
During the spring the The Mountain fetterbush can't stand the cold weather; should the climate be particularly harsh, with minimum night-time temperatures some degrees below zero, let's cover our plant with non-woven fabric. For a balanced development of the The Mountain fetterbush , let's choose a partially shaded place, where it can enjoy direct sunlight only during the coolest hours of the day.During the winter months we can cover a portion of the soil near the roots with dry leaves or other mulch tissue; in this manner we will protect the plant from the harsh climate. Irrigation Mountain fetterbush
These plants favour quite regular watering, usually 1-2 buckets of water ; we advise in any case to irrigate every 2-3 weeks , when the soil is dry. Concerning those specimens grown in vases, let's remember that usually they need more watering, compared to the same shrubs placed in the ground. Moreover, they are often more sensible to temperatures, either very high or very low, and to radical apparatus diseases. Adversity Mountain fetterbush
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. Substrate Mountain fetterbush
These shrubs need to be cultivated in a quite drained, specific soil for acidophilic plants.
