To improve my growth you must expose me to the sun, I like the sandy soils and that the irrigation water drains very well, my growth occurs after the strong frost, I develop very well on warm days, when you plant me for the first time, you have to take into account to do it to 15 centimeters of depth and to fifty centimeters of another plant

I develop very well in soils that contain "nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and calcium" remember that when I am growing I have to be wet, the drought kills me, I do not need much space to develop you can plant on the ground or in plantearos or pots.
