Gomphrena globosa - Common globe amaranth

continental : These plants prefer a sunny location, where they can enjoy direct solar rays even throughout the whole day,
When summer begins we can grow the the Gomphrena globosa outside.

alpine : Let's grow the the Gomphrena globosa in a sunny place, with direct solar light.
The Gomphrena globosa can't stand the cold weather, but the minimum summer temperatures enable us to grow these plants outdoors.

mediterranean : Plant which needs a few hours a day of solar light.
The Gomphrena globosa can’t stand frost, but with the beautiful season and the heat we can grow it outdoors without problems.

continental : During this time of year very frequent watering is advised, even daily if the climate is very hot and dry; let’s try to keep the soil cool and damp. Irrigate every 0-1 weeks, during the evening or morning hours.

alpine : The Gomphrena globosa should be watered regularly, to maintain the substratum slightly damp using 0,5 litres of water; if the climate is very hot and there are scarce precipitations it might be necessary to water every 1-2 weeks, or more often than that.

mediterranean : We suggest watering often, trying to keep the soil slightly damp with 2,5 litres of water, but avoiding excesses; the forming of water stagnations also harm those plants which love wetness, usually the frequency of watering is every 0-0 weeks.

Feed Gomphrena globosa : In the summer annual plants need regular fertilizations, to be done every 15-20 days, adding a fertilizer for flowering plants to the irrigating water.

Adversity Gomphrena globosa : Summer treatments should be applied only in cases of displayed infesting; a dry climate favours the development of ticks and rust. During this period of the year, since there are many useful insects in the garden, it is advisable to avoid using wide-range products, favouring the use of specific products against each type of parasite. Let’s apply the treatments during early morning or evening hours.
