Herb Mint Hilarys Sweet Lemon Rooted Cutting Liner

For best results with Mint Hilarys Sweet Lemon, use well-drained soil with a constant feed program of 150-200 ppm N on well-rooted plants and a pH of 5.8-6.2. We recommend an additional iron supplement to deepen the foliage color. Pinch once 5-10 days after transplant. You may see whiteflies, aphids, and mealybugs.

Light purple flowers bloom from June-August.

Pinch once, 5-10 days after transplanting.

Space 4-inch, 6-inch, and gallon pots as needed to allow airflow and penetration of light between plants. Mint Hilarys Sweet Lemon can grow to a 12" spread. We do not recommend planting rooted plugs in 1801 or other traditional market trays as they tend to get leggy and can develop fungus when they have insufficient space.

We do not recommend using chemical growth regulators on herbs.

You may see whiteflies, aphids, and mealybugs.

Mint Hilarys Sweet Lemon isn't prone to disease. Don't oversaturate the soil. If the plant sits in moist soil at length, you could end up with root rot or botrytis. Botrytis grey rot tends to occur in wet or humid conditions. Take these steps to prevent botrytis: water in the morning and allow the plant to dry out between waterings; provide good airflow in your greenhouse; space plants so the sun can penetrate to the soil level. To best fight root rot in herbs, use a garden-safe fungicide, like Neem Oil.

We recommend planting one rooted liner per 4-inch, 6-inch, or gallon container. Use well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot in the center of the container.
