ADVICES

How and when trim the plants?

Plants should not be pruned during the flowering phase. In March a training pruning is sufficient, while from April to October a simple trimming is more than sufficient. For proper pruning, branches that are too long must be shortened to ensure good light penetration into the foliage.

When is it recommended to repot the plants?

It is prefarable to repot the plants after the cold winter, and it is convenient to repot them in pots that are somewhat larger by 2 to 4 points than the original ones, they should be neither smaller nor too large. It is also necessary to add new potting soil to the old one.

Which soil is best to use?

We recommended using a not too fertile, fresh and well-drained soil with good water retention, for example dark, blond peat and expanded clay.

How much water to give the plants?

The plants must be watered regularly, obviously the frequency varies depending on the seasons. In the winter months it is best to limit the frequency of watering and avoid over-watering. In summer, on the other hand, it is necessary to water the plants at least three or four times a week. The water must flow freely, so several holes at the base of the pot are neccessary.
