General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner

For best results with Cuphea Mexican Heather, we recommend using a well-drained soil with a balanced fertilizer on a constant feed program of 150-200 ppm N. Maintain a pH between 6.0 - 6.5. Cuphea may develop oedema and leaf yellowing if over-watered.

We recommend that you pinch Mexican Heather Allyson Purple once about 10 days after transplanting to your final container.

Spacing

Cuphea Mexican Heather should be spaced adequately to allow airflow and light penetration between the foliage.

No plant growth regulators are necessary.

Pests

Aphids, thrips, and whiteflies are the primary problem pests with Cuphea Mexican Heather.

Disease

Mexican Heather Allyson Purple are not prone to many diseases, but watch for botrytis while the days are short. This grey rot is usually associated with wet or humid conditions. You can prevent botrytis by allowing the plant to dry out between waterings, allowing for good airflow in your greenhouse, and spacing to allow the sun to penetrate to the soil level. The most common chemicals used to treat botrytis are Medallion and Banrot. Use them as a drench according to each label’s instructions.

Planting Mexican Heather Allyson Purple Liners

We recommend planting 5 starter plants per 10 inch basket. Use a well-drained soil in your baskets and plant your starter plants deep, allowing the ellepot to be completely covered by the soil. If you are planting 4” pots, 1 plant per pot should be sufficient. Plant it directly in the middle of your pot.
Pinch Mexican Heather Allyson Purple once about 10 days after transplanting to your final container.

Rooted Cuttings

Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.
