mediterranean : Every -0-0 weeks we should intervene with water, irrigating the soil only if it is dry; we suggest avoiding water stagnations by using 3-4 glasses of water.

Feed Leucojum vernum : In the summer we should fertilize only the bulbous plants in vegetation, which have a lush foliage; let’s act every 10-15 days, adding specific fertilizer to the irrigating water.

Adversity Leucojum vernum : 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.
