Berberis media - Darwin's berberis

continental : Plant which needs at least a few hours a day of solar rays.
We suggest locating the The Berberis media in the garden, since it is a very rustic plant.

alpine : These plants love very sunny positions, which are directly exposed to sunrays even for many hours a day.
We advise locating these plants outdoors, in the garden or on the terrace; they can stand the cold and heat.

mediterranean : These plants can be placed in a very bright place, possibly sunny, directly under the solar rays for a few hours a day.
Let’s cultivate the The Berberis media in the garden, in full ground, because it’s completely rustic.

continental : Watering should be done regularly and often, every 1-2 weeks; always avoiding surpluses and water stagnation. We suggest waiting for the soil to dry before watering again. Usually 1-2 buckets of water are used every The .

alpine : Watering should be fairly frequent and regular, using 0-1 buckets of water; let’s intervene at least every 2-3 weeks, paying attention that the ground dries well between a watering and the next.

mediterranean : These plants dislike soaked soils, we suggest always waiting for the soil to be dry between one watering and the other; during this time of year usually we water with 2-3 buckets of water every 0-1 weeks, or even less.

Fertilize Berberis media : 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 Berberis media : 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.
