Cultivation of sangria or chinchamochina.
The ideal time to sow is in spring.
They do not require so much care.
They can reproduce by seeds and stakes.
These plants develop in underdeveloped soils originated from calcareous or Franco-calcareous materials.
They can be sown in pots, gardens, patios, terraces and balconies.
The more exposure to the sun you have, they will bloom faster, but they can also be grown in semi-shade.
They are able to withstand light and sporadic freezing temperatures.
It is necessary that the soil be very well drained if the land is alkaline and poor.
They are very resistant to drought, so irrigation is not very frequent.
It is advisable to prune them lightly at the beginning of autumn to favor flowering.
These plants are resistant to the usual pests but are sensitive to excess moisture.
The harvest of this plant is concentrated both in the leaves and in the flowers.
