Lobularia Alyssum Lavender Stream Rooted Cutting Liner

For best results with Lobularia, we recommend using a constant feed program of 100-200 ppm N with an EC of 1.2-1.4. Maintain a pH between 5.5 - 5.8.

We recommend that you pinch Alyssum Lavender Stream once 10 days after transplanting and roots are well established.

Lobularia should be spaced adequately to allow airflow and light penetration between the foliage. Usually 2’ centers on baskets will be enough.

Lobularia are responsive to PGRs, but maintaining a high light intensity and proper pinching are the preferred methods for controlling stretching.

Aphids, whiteflies and possibly thrips are the primary pests attracted to Lobularia.

Alyssum Lavender Stream are susceptible to fungal growth when their growing environment is too wet. Watch for botrytis, leaf spots, stem blights, and root rots while the days are short. These problems are usually associated with oversaturation of the soil. You can prevent them 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 fungal infections are Medallion and Banrot. Use them as a drench according to each label’s instructions.

1. We recommend planting 4 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.
