Plants bloom most profusely in full sun. They are planted in good quality soil for potted plants.
Plants absorb large amounts of water in summer.In hot weather, they should be watered even twice a day: in the morning and in the evening.
In order for argyrantema to bloom luxuriantly, from May to August it should be supplied with power
2-3 times a month with high-component, liquid fertilizer for potted plants.
If argyrantema loses leaves, shoots can be shortened 1/3 of their length at the end of July (after first flowering). They should rebound strongly again.Before hibernating, do not prune the plants, because then they become susceptible to drying out. In spring, the shoots are shortened by about 1/3 of their length.
Argyrantema is placed in the bright quarters before the onset of frosts and hibernated at 8 to 12 ° C.We water the plants sparingly, but regularly, so as not to let the substrate dry out.In April / May, after the last frosts, we can put the containers on the terrace again. Move the plant with a dry root ball to a dark room.
By removing the faded argyrant flowers on an ongoing basis, new buds continue to appear in their place.
