Papaver lateritium - Oriental poppy

continental : Plant which needs at least a few hours a day of solar rays.
We suggest locating the The Papaver lateritium 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 Papaver lateritium in the garden, in full ground, because it’s completely rustic.

continental : The Papaver lateritium needs very frequent watering; during this period of the year we advise watering even every 0-1 weeks using 1,5 litres of water, trying to keep the substratum always slightly damp.

alpine : We advise frequent watering, every 1-2 weeks using 0,5 litres of water, so that the soil is always a bit humid.

mediterranean : The watering must be very regular and frequent, using 2,5 litres of water, so that the soil is always slightly damp, avoiding excesses and water stagnation. A good rule is to wet every -0-0 weeks.

Fertilize Papaver lateritium : 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.
