Ligularia dentata - Summer ragwort, Leopard plant

continental : We suggest to avoid direct sunrays placing the the Ligularia dentata in a shady spot.
Let's grow the the Ligularia dentata in the garden; they aren't afraid of the cold weather.

alpine : Let's choose a shady place for the the Ligularia dentata , protected by direct solar rays.
During the summer months we can grow these plants outdoors without needing to protect them.

mediterranean : These plants need to be located in a cool and shady spot, protected by direct solar rays, which could burn their leaves.
We suggest growing the the Ligularia dentata in the garden, because they are rustic problems.

continental : Water every 1-2 weeks, when the ground is perfectly dry; we advise avoiding excesses when watering, although the substratum must be wet well. Let’s use 4-5 glasses of water for average size plants.

alpine : Water every 2-3 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 3-4 glasses of water.

mediterranean : Irrigate with 5-6 glasses 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 Ligularia dentata : In the summer let’s fertilize periodically, using a fertilizer for flowering plants, to add to the irrigating water every 10-15 days; we can otherwise use a slow release fertilizer, to spread near the plants every 3-4 months.

Pests Ligularia dentata : 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.
