Erodium x Hybridum

Fertilization Erodium x Hybridum : In autumn let’s add some organic fertilizer or granular slow release fertilizer to the soil surrounding the perennials. These plants often have a period of vegetative rest in the winter; the fertilizer will be useful for the spring vegetative reawakening.

continental : plant which needs to be exposed to direct sunrays.
In autumn these plants are grown in the garden; they can tolerate temperatures a few degrees below zero without problems.

alpine : Let's locate the the Erodium x Hybridum in a very luminous place, preferably sunny.
Autumn temperatures are easily tolerated by the the Erodium x Hybridum which usually doesn’t get damaged by short freezing; if the temperatures should go below -5°C, let’s protect our plant with a non-woven fabric.

mediterranean : These plants favour sunny exposures, where they can enjoy, even for the whole day, some direct solar rays.
The Erodium x Hybridum can stand temperatures a few degrees under zero, therefore they can be usually cultivated as garden plants.

continental : Let’s water every 0-1 weeks with 3-4 glasses of water, or even more often if the weather is hot and dry; we should always try to keep the ground slightly damp.

alpine : Water regularly, every 1-2 weeks, wetting the soil thoroughly by using 2-3 glasses of water and keeping it always a bit moist, although avoiding to soak it too much.

mediterranean : For a balanced development these plants need constant and abundant dampness; during this time of year it is good to water frequently, about 4-5 glasses of water at least every 0-0 weeks.

Treatments Erodium x Hybridum : During the cold months many pathogens spend the winter in the ground, at the feet of our plants; let’s treat the plants struck by black spot disease or by leaf curl disease with particular attention by applying a wide-range anticryptogamic treatment, to vaporize even on the ground. Let’s gather and destroy the leaves of the sick plants.
