continental : Water every 2-3 weeks, when the ground is perfectly dry; we advise avoiding excesses when watering, although the substratum must be wet well. Let’s use 1-2 buckets of water for average size plants.

alpine : Water every 3-4 weeks, leaving the soil dry for a few days; avoid surpluses. In any case it is agreeable to wet the substratum well in case of prolonged drought using 0-1 buckets of water.

mediterranean : Irrigate with 2-3 buckets of water. Watering should be carried out only when the soil has been dry for days; during this period of the year watering once or twice a week could be enough. When irrigating avoid immoderation.

Fertilize Athyrium filix-femina : Usually fertilizers aren’t used during the summer; should we notice a development of spot virus on the leaves, caused by nutritional lacking, let’s add specific fertilizers. If we’re planting new shrubs, let’s always remember to add mature organic fertilizer, or slow release granular fertilizer.

Pests Athyrium filix-femina : During the summer months it is best to apply precise treatments, specifically against each type of parasite, to be used only when we have already noticed the presence of fungus or insects on our plants; these treatments should be applied during the coolest hours of the day. In general during this period of the year an infesting of ticks and rust is very likely to occur, because its development is favoured by dry climates.
