The Prostanthera rotundifolia usually doesn't have temperature problems during this time of year, because it can bear freezings although not too intense ones. 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.Locate this plant in a partially shady place, where it can receive the sunrays during the coolest hours of the day.
Generalities Prostanthera rotundifolia
The Prostanthera rotundifolia develops like a shrub. This plant in the spring assumes a pink colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 1,8 m high. It keeps its leaves in the winter. Growing they develop a round-shape shrub.
Fertilization Prostanthera rotundifolia
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.
Watering Prostanthera rotundifolia
We suggest watering pretty often and regularly, with 1-2 buckets of water ; we should always wait for the soil to be clearly dry between one watering and the other. During this time of year usually it is necessary to irrigate every 2-3 weeks . 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.
Treatments Prostanthera rotundifolia
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 Prostanthera rotundifolia
Let’s favour an averagely drained, soft and rich growing substratum.
