General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
For best results with Graptoveria Hybrid Debbie, plant one rooted plug per 4-inch container or three liners per 10-inch container. Use a well-drained mix of peat, sand, and perlite with a pH of 5.5-6.0, EC (2:1) of .40-.60, low feed (100-150 ppm N), and temperatures of 65-72. Pinching may promote branching but will delay finishing time. Supply 5,000-7,500 foot candles of light. Water thoroughly and then allow the soil to dry completely before watering again. With no overwatering, any disease is rare among this plant. You may see aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites.
