Cassiope mertensia - Mountain heather

Feed Cassiope mertensia : We should enrich the soil near our perennials with some manure or earthworm humus, or with some slow release fertilizer. Besides improving the soil, making it softer and permeable, organic fertilization brings a good dose of nitrogen, which melts in the soil in about 3-4 months.

continental : We suggest to position the The Cassiope mertensia in a partially shaded place, which is exposed to direct solar rays only a few hours a day.
These plants can be located in the garden during the whole year; they can stand minimum temperatures many degrees below zero.

alpine : For a balanced development it is best to locate teh The Cassiope mertensia in a place where it can enjoy some hours of direct solar light, but protected from the sun for most of the day.
Autumn climate usually isn’t very harsh, in any case these plants can even bear very prolonged freezing, therefore they can be grown in the garden during any season.

mediterranean : Locate this plant in a partially shady place, directly lit by sunrays for a few hours a day.
These plants can stand the cold and can also stand very harsh minimum temperatures.

continental : Water regularly, every 1-2 weeks with 2-3 glasses of water, wetting the ground deeply, but waiting for the substratum to dry completely between an irrigation and another one; avoid stagnant water.

alpine : When the ground is thoroughly dry, we should water regularly but without exceeding, usually using 1-2 glasses of water. Keeping the dampness of the ground under control let’s water every 2-3 weeks.

mediterranean : The Cassiope mertensia doesn’t request too much watering; we should act with 3-4 glasses of water only when the soil is very dry, every 0-1 weeks, avoiding immoderation.
