Isolepsis Colorgrass Live Wire Seedling Tray

For best results with Isolepsis Colorgrass Live Wire, grow one seedling plug per 1801 cell or 4-inch container or three per 6-inch container. Use well-drained soil with a pH of 5.5-6.2, EC of 1.2-1.5 mS/cm, and medium feed (175-225 ppm) with a nitrate-based, low-phosophorus fertilizer. Avoid fertilizers high in ammonia or nitrogen, which encourage less upright plants. This plant doesn't require PGRs or pinching. Provide temperatures of 66-74 daytime and 64-66 nighttime. It isn't prone to disease, but watch for mealybugs when it's growing indoors.

Long-lasting flower spikes resemble fiber-optic strands.

Scout for mealybugs as part of your commercial greenhouse's Integrated Pest Management program. Infestations tend to occur most commonly when Isolepsis roots aren't submerged in water.

Mealybugs are small, white, soft-bodied insects that feed on plant sap. They are covered in powdery wax, which gives them a cottony appearance. They reproduce and spread rapidly. Inspect plants regularly for signs of an infestation, including white, cottony masses on foliage. Always check new plants before bringing them into the greenhouse. Remove any highly infested plants from the greenhouse for quarantine or disposal. Introduce beneficial insects like ladybugs, lacewings, and parasitic wasps as biological controls for mealybug populations and apply insecticidal soap or horticultural oils to disrupt lifecycles and feeding. Maintaining a sanitary greenhouse and eliminating debris can deter pest infestations.

We recommend growing one seedling plug per 1801 cell or 4-inch container or three per 6-inch container. Use well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot centered or evenly spaced in the container.
