Disease
This plant can be prone to botrytis and root rot when the days are short or in wet, humid conditions. Calibrachoa needs adequate moisture to grow, but keep it on the dry side in the greenhouse to avoid root rot. Water at the base of each plant in the morning and again in the afternoon if needed. Do not water at night. Provide good airflow in your greenhouse and allow sunlight to penetrate to the soil level of each plant by giving enough space between containers. We recommend using horizontal airflow fans.
Planting Ombre Tyler Glam Liners
We recommend planting one rooted liner per 4-inch container or three per 10-inch basket. Use a well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot centered or evenly spaced in 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.
