Angeliki Bicolor

Common Name: Angeliki Bicolor
Origin: New Zealand

The angelic bicolor (Pittosporum tenuifolium "silver queen") is an evergreen shrub with a final height of 2-4m. Its leaves are wavy with a gray-green color and white edges. Its stem is thin and dark.

Flowers

Its flowers are white-yellow, fragrant. Its flowering lasts from April to June. The flower consists of five white petals each about one centimeter long. The fruits are hard small and round green in color. Inside are black seeds that are in a resinous pulp.

Location

Angelica is planted in soils of medium texture, usually sandy loam, which are rich in organic matter. It can also be planted in a pot, as long as its substrate drains well. In addition, angelica grows better in a semi-shaded environment, so it acquires a compact shape because its foliage is denser.

Durability

Resistant to sea droplets, atmospheric pollution and drought. It is one of the few plants that can withstand the sea.

Watering

It has moderate water requirements, with the exception of the summer months when you can increase its watering. In winter we water about every 10 days. In the summer 3 to 4 times a week. In spring and autumn 1 to 2 times a week.

Pruning

It is necessary to remove the dried and diseased shoots in early spring. We apply light shaping pruning to maintain its shape.

Lubrication

Fertilize your plants regularly using a water-soluble fertilizer for flowering plants or a granular fertilizer. Slow-release granular fertilizer is added to the soil during planting, following the dosing recommendations stated on the package.

Plants grown in pots and planters may need more frequent fertilization to look better. Apply the fertilizer during the spring and summer period (once a month). You can use either the granular fertilizer by spreading it on the ground between the plants and then watering well or by dissolving the water-soluble fertilizer in the watering can.

Enemies and Diseases

Although angelica is a disease-resistant plant, in some cases aphid colonies develop, but insects do not cause serious damage to the plant. Also, granules can grow on its branches, which remain stuck and immobile by sucking the vegetable juices, but without particularly affecting the plant.
