Arenaria Winter Lemon Rooted Cutting Liner

For best results with Winter Lemon, plant one rooted liner per 4-inch container or two per gallon container. Use a well-drained soil with a pH of 5.8-6.2, EC of SME 1.5-2.1 or PourThru 2.3-3.2, temperatures of 66-68 daytime and 56-58 nighttime, and light feed (75-125 ppm N). Use a Bonzi drench if needed. This plant needs long days (14 hours of 4,000-6,000 fc). This plant benefits from 7-8 weeks of cold treatment at 50 degrees on average but doesn't require vernalization. You may see aphids. This plant can be prone to root rot, Botrytis, and powdery mildew in wet conditions.

Space containers for adequate airflow around the base of each plant and to allow sunlight to penetrate to the soil level.

Winter Lemon is prone to rust and should be sprayed preventatively. In overly wet conditions, root rot, botrytis, and powdery mildew can infect Arenaria. Prevent these conditions by taking some simple precautions.

1. Water at the base of each plant in the morning and allow the soil to dry between waterings.

2. Space containers for airflow around each plant and to allow sunlight to penetrate to the soil level.

3. Provide adequate airflow in your greenhouse. We recommend using horizontal airflow fans.

We recommend planting one rooted liner per 4-inch container or two per 6-inch or gallon container. Use a well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot in the center of the container or evenly space the ellepots in gallon containers.
