continental : Locate this plant in a partially shady spot, where it is exposed to sunrays during the coolest hours of the day.
When thesummer begins we can move the The Pachystachys lutea outside.

alpine : Let's favour partially shaded places for the The Pachystachys lutea , where they can enjoy direct sunlight for some hours a day.
These plants aren't rustic, they can't stand minimum temperatures below 15°C; during the summer season they can be located outdoors, but somewhere sheltered by the wind.

mediterranean : The Pachystachys lutea prefers cool and not too sunny spots; therefore let's choose a position in which it is exposed to solar rays only during the coolest hours of the day.
These plants can be grown outdoors only during the hot season, because they can’t stand temperatures below 15° C.

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 10-11 days, during the evening or morning hours.

alpine : The Pachystachys lutea should be watered regularly, to maintain the substratum slightly damp using 0-1 buckets of water; if the climate is very hot and there are scarce precipitations it might be necessary to water every 10-11 days, or more often than that.

mediterranean : We suggest watering often, trying to keep the soil slightly damp with 2-3 buckets of water, but avoiding excesses; the forming of water stagnations also harm those plants which love wetness, usually the frequency of watering is every 10-11 days.

Feed Pachystachys lutea : Let’s add some organic fertilizer, or a slow release fertilizer to the soil of newly planted shrubs; let’s also check for nutritional lacking, which can be cured with specific fertilizations.

Adversity Pachystachys lutea : 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.
