Gaultheria mucronata

continental : These plants like shady or semishady locations, where they are exposed for few hours a day to direct sunlight.
We can place this plants outside; also in winter they can tolerate very rigid temperatures without any problem.

alpine : Place these plants in a semishady location, where they are exposed to direct sunlight for short periods of time.
These plants can tolerate also very intense frosts without any problem.

mediterranean : Place these plants in a semishady location, not excessively exposed to direct sunlight.
Place the Gaultheria mucronata in the garden all year long; they do not suffer from cold.

Feed Gaultheria mucronata : Fertilize our shrubs using an organic fertilizer or a slow-release granular fertilizer, intervening at the end of winter and at the end of summer. Use potassium-rich fertilizers for our flowering plants, nitrogen-rich fertilizer for green plants.

continental : Grow the Gaultheria mucronata in a mostly dry soil, watering only in case of long drought or in case the substrate is very dry.

alpine : The Gaultheria mucronata prefers a dry soil, it does not suffer from drought; intervene and give water only during spring and summer, every 7-9 days, avoiding excessive watering, however watering the soil deeply. When the cold season starts decrease waterings or suspend them.

mediterranean : For the Gaultheria mucronata waterings can be not frequent, since these plants do not tolerate an excessive humidity of the soil; therefore always allow the soil to dry out between two waterings, leaving the plants without watering also for few days.

Adversity Gaultheria mucronata : Apply a precautionary treatment against fungal diseases at the end of winter; later on treatments will be applied only in case parasites are on the plant, trying to use specific products and not broad-spectrum ones. In any case avoid treatments during bloom for not injuring the pollinating insects.
