General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner

Use well-drained sandy soil with a pH of 5.8-6.2, EC of 1.2-1.5, average daily temperatures of 68-72, and light feed (100-150 ppm N). You may see mealy bugs, scales, thrips, aphids, and spider mites. This plant isn't prone to disease, but fungal rot can develop in overly wet conditions.

Disease
This plant isn't prone to disease, but fungal rot can develop in overly wet conditions. Prevent fungal infections by following these protocols in your greenhouse:
1. Water at the base of each plant in the morning and allow the soil to dry completely between waterings.
2. Provide good airflow in your greenhouse. We recommend using horizontal airflow fans.
3. Space containers so sunlight can penetrate to the soil level of each plant. Grow this plant in full sun.
Planting Portulaca Molokiniensis Liners
We recommend planting one rooted plug per 4-inch container. Use well-drained, sandy soil and completely bury the ellepot in the center of the container.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
