Cultivation
Cultivation
• Tipo di suolo: Predilige terreni ben drenati; cresce bene in suoli sabbiosi, limosi o argillosi con pH leggermente acido o neutro.
• Frequenza di irrigazione: Essenziale annaffiare regolarmente i giovani esemplari; tollerante alla siccità una volta stabilito.
• Esposizione alla luce: Cresce bene in mezz’ombra o pieno sole; la produzione di bacche è ottimale in posizioni soleggiate.
• Temperature richieste: Resistente, tollera temperature tra -20°C e 30°C.
• Fertilizzazione: Applicare un fertilizzante bilanciato in primavera per favorire la crescita e la produzione di bacche.
• Potatura: Potare a fine inverno per modellare e rimuovere rami secchi o danneggiati; la potatura leggera favorisce una maggiore densità.
• Parassiti comuni: Occasionalmente colpito da minatori fogliari dell’agrifoglio o cocciniglie; monitorare e trattare se necessario.
• Altri consigli: Per garantire la produzione di bacche, assicurarsi di avere piante maschili e femminili vicine per l’impollinazione.
