General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
For best results with Alata Sunny Susy Red Orange, plant one rooted plug per 4-inch container, two or three per 6-inch container, or three to five per 10-inch container. Use well-drained soil with a pH of 5.8-6.2, medium feed (175-225 ppm N), light intensity of 5,000-8,000 fc, and temperatures of 71-79 daytime and 59-64 nighttime. Don't pinch or use PGRs. You may see aphids, whiteflies, spider mites, and leafminers. Root rot can develop in overly wet conditions.
Flowering
Dark-eyed orange flowers bloom from May through October.
Pinching
This plant doesn't require pinching.
Spacing
Space plants so sunlight can reach the soil level of each container.
Height Control
Don't use PGRs. Height is best controlled by proper fertilizing, providing maximum light, growing plants on the dry side, and spacing containers rather than crowding them.
Pests
You may see aphids, whiteflies, spider mites, and leafminers.
Disease
This plant isn't prone to disease but root rot can develop in overly wet conditions. Thunbergia Alata requires consistent moisture, but allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Water at the base of the plant in the morning. Provide good airflow in your greenhouse and space containers to allow air and sunlight to reach the soil level of each plant.
Planting Alata Sunny Susy Red Orange Liners
We recommend planting one rooted liner per 4-inch container, two or three per 6-inch, or three to five per 10-inch. Completely bury the ellepot, evenly spaced or centered in the containers.
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.
