{"title":"Ericaceous plants","description":"\u003cp\u003eSkimmia, leucothoe, dwarf rhododendron, camellia or blueberry: ericaceous plants are among the most decorative on the balcony, with their evergreen foliage, colourful winter buds and generous flowering. Their only requirement is acid, lime-free soil. The good news: in pots, you simply give them the right compost and they thrive, whatever the soil in your area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is an ericaceous plant?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEricaceous, or acid-loving, plants grow naturally in acid, light, humus-rich soils, like those of woodlands and heaths. In soil or water that is too chalky, they can no longer absorb iron: their leaves turn yellow while the veins stay green, a symptom called chlorosis. Grown in pots with suitable compost, on the other hand, they stay vigorous and richly coloured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur ericaceous plants\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/skimmia\"\u003eSkimmia\u003c\/a\u003e is covered in clusters of red or white buds all winter, then fragrant flowers in spring. \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/leucothoe\"\u003eLeucothoe\u003c\/a\u003e offers evergreen red, golden or variegated foliage that colours even more with the cold. \u003cstrong\u003eBloombux® rhododendrons\u003c\/strong\u003e, dwarf and compact, are covered in pink flowers in late spring; grafted onto an Inkarho rootstock, they tolerate lime better than classic rhododendrons. \u003cstrong\u003eCamellia 'Nuccio's Gem'\u003c\/strong\u003e unfurls large, very elegant double white flowers.

Do not add garden soil or multipurpose compost, which are often too limy. A mulch of pine bark on top maintains the acidity of the compost, keeps it moist and reduces watering. Repot every two to three years into a slightly larger container with fresh ericaceous compost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWatering and feeding\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEricaceous plants like compost that is always moist, never waterlogged.
