Implement sanitary practices in your greenhouse, water at the base of each plant in the morning, allow the soil to dry between watering, and provide good airflow, spacing plants so sunlight and air can reach the base of each plant.
Thielaviopsis basicolais a black root rot common among vinca, pansy, and petunia. Wilting, poor growth, and poor rooting are all potential indicators of black root rot. Use a preventative fungicide on susceptible plants, implement sanitary practices in your greenhouse, and regularly inspect your plants for signs of disease.
Phytophthora is a genus of soilborne pathogens that cause crown and root rot. Vinca is particularly prone to several strains of this disease. In regions with humid weather, consider growing a resistant variety like Vinca Cora. Control spread by planting with new, clean media and watering only when the soil is dry.

We recommend planting one rooted liner per 1801 cell or one to three per 4-inch container. Use a well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot centered or evenly spaced in the container. Apply a fungicide drench at transplant.
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.
