Lonicera pileata

Feed Lonicera pileata : In autumn some manure or humus usually is planted at the foot of the plants; other types of fertilizer aren’t necessary, because the nitrogen in the organic fertilizer remains available to the plants for some months.

continental : We suggest to position the the Lonicera pileata 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 Lonicera pileata 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 : The Lonicera pileata needs frequent and regular irrigations; we advise keeping the soil damp using 1-2 buckets of water, watering every 1-2 weeks.

alpine : Water abundantly with 0-1 buckets of water approximately every 2-3 weeks, wetting the ground deep down; let’s always wait for the soil to dry before watering again.

mediterranean : Let’s water the the Lonicera pileata frequently with 2-3 buckets of water, even every 0-1 weeks, so that the soil is always damp, but not soaked with water.

Adversity Lonicera pileata : When the climate is still not too harsh we should apply a wide range fungal treatment, vaporizing the fungicide even on the soil on the feet of the plants. Let’s remember to collect and destroy the leaves of the plants affected by black spot disease or by leaf curl disease.
