You may see aphids or whiteflies. This plant isn't prone to disease but may be affected by stem or root rot.

Pinching
This plant doesn't require pinching.

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

Disease
This plant isn't prone to disease. Stem and root rot can affect Artemisia in wet, humid conditions.

We recommend using horizontal airflow fans.

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.
