Every morning, pink, white or red, rose-like blossoms open up with slightly crumpled petals.They fall in the evening, but don't worry about it - the magic performance is repeated every day from May to July. The non-falling, pleasantly smelling, gray-green leaves of the Cistus are also very pretty.
Purging position
A vigorously flowering pot shrub requires a sunny and warm position. We plant the Mediterranean plant in good quality potting soil.A 10 cm thick drainage layer of gravel or expanded clay should be laid at the bottom of the container.
Irrigation cleaning
Cistus is very sensitive to excess moisture.After pouring it, it can react by dropping leaves within a few days, so the plant should be watered quite rarely.You should also be careful not to leave the water in the stand after watering.
Clean - fertilization
From March to August, the bush is fed twice a month with full-fledged, liquid fertilizer for potted plants.
Cut Clean
Cistus does not lose its lower leaves, so it is enough to shorten the shoots slightly at the end of winter (only soft parts, not fully woody).
Wintering
The bush should spend the winter in a bright room with a temperature
2-10 ° c. Cistus endures short frosts to -8 ° C without harm.The soil should be slightly moist during the dormancy period.After the last frosts, take the plant out onto the terrace. Young plants are transplanted every year in March.
Tip
Make sure the winter accommodation is well ventilated.In this way we will prevent the appearance of gray mold on the shoots.
