Watering Halesia carolinacontinental : Let’s try to keep the ground fairly damp, watering every 2-3 weeks with 1-2 buckets of water; when the weather is very harsh and the temperatures are below zero, watering can be interrupted. alpine : Every 3-4 weeks water the soil, trying to wet it deeply; keep the ground constantly moist, although we must avoid water stagnations. Usually 0-1 buckets of water are used. mediterranean : We suggest watering regularly with 2-3 buckets of water, trying to keep the growing substratum pretty cool and moist; if the climate is very cold we can reduce watering. 1-2 weeks should go by between irrigations. Exposure Halesia carolinacontinental : Locate this plant in a partially shady spot, where it can receive some hours of direct sunlight. alpine : Let's grow these plants in a partially shaded place, where they can receive direct sunrays just for a few hours a day. mediterranean : The Halesia carolina can bear a few hours of direct insolagtion, but it is best to place it in a partially shady place. Fertilization Halesia carolina : During the winter it’s not necessary to fertilize shrubs. Before the winter climate gets decisively harsh, we should remember to put some fertilizer to the evergreen shrubs, preferably using organic fertilizer. Treatments Halesia carolina : Towards the end of the winter, before the buds get bigger, let’s apply a defensive treatment against the most common fungi diseases, using a fungicide based on sulphur and copper. |
