General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner

For best results with Bright Eye use well-drained soil in full sun with 100-150 ppm and a pH of 6.0-6.5. Plant one starter plant per 4-inch container. We recommend spacing containers 5-7 inches apart to allow for sufficient airflow. You may see spidermites, stem eelworm, phlox plant bug, or stalk borer moth. Powdery mildew is the biggest concern with phlox, although this cultivar is resistant.

Flowering

Bright Eye flowers July-September. Deadhead flowers to encourage continuous blooming.

Pinching

This plant does not require pinching.

Spacing

Space containers 5-7 inches apart for airflow. Larger containers will need more spacing to maintain proper light penetration and airflow

Height Control

Bright Eye does not need chemical growth regulators.

Pests

You may see stem eelworm, spider mites, the phlox plant bug, and stalk borer moths. Spider mites are the most troublesome pest for Phlox.

Disease

Powdery mildew is the major disease issue with Phlox. This cultivar is resistant, but take the following precautions for prevention. Water plants at the base in the morning so they can dry out before nightfall. Space plants to allow for sufficient airflow; horizontal airflow fans are also effective at preventing outbreaks. You may also try spraying Strike, Systhane (Eagle), Pipron, Terraguard, Heritage, or others to prevent powdery mildew.
