1. Space plants 10-12" apart in well-drained soil in full or partial sun.
2. Water occasionally or more in dry weather.
3. In climates colder than zone 6, remove plants after frost or overwinter containers in a protected area.
For best results with Carex Bronze Curls, grow one seedling plug per 6-inch or one to three per gallon container. Use well-drained soil with a pH of 5.5-7.0, EC of 0.5-1.5 mS/cm, average daily temperatures of 70-75, and moderate feed (150-200 ppm N). This plant grows best in full sun and doesn't require PGRs. Watch for root rot, aphids, and spider mites.
This plant is grown for its foliage.
This plant doesn't require pinching.
We recommend spacing 4-inch containers 6-8" apart and gallon containers 12-18" apart for adequate airflow and sunlight penetration around the base and foliage of each plant. Adjust spacing as needed in your greenhouse.

Scout for aphids and spider mites as part of your greenhouse's Integrated Pest Management program. Prevention and early intervention are the best methods of pest control.
Aphids are small, soft-bodied insects that cause damage by sucking sap from plant tissue. They reproduce quickly and are particularly attracted to young growth. Curling and yellowed leaves, stunted growth, and stickiness on leaves are signs of an infestation. These insects also spread diseases and reproduce rapidly. Use biological controls or horticultural oils to discourage and kill aphids.
Spider Mites are tiny pests that cause stippling, yellowing, and webbing on foliage by feeding on plant sap. They flourish in warm, dry environments. Use correct water and fertilizing practices; over-fertilizing can attract spider mites. Proper humidity levels, predatory mites or ladybugs, and insecticidal soaps or oils may prevent or address a spider mite infestation.
Carex Bronze Curls isn't prone to disease. Root rot can occur in overly wet conditions. Use well-draining soil, water at the base of each plant in the morning, and provide good airflow in your greenhouse.
Root Rot occurs in poorly drained or overly wet soil, which becomes the host for several types of fungi. It causes stunted growth, wilting, and root system decay. Prevention is the best treatment, and you will avoid most root rot problems by using clean, well-draining media, appropriate containers, and good watering practices for finishing seedling plugs. Inspect plants for signs of disease regularly. Repot infected plants in well-draining soil, adjust your watering schedule, provide better airflow, and use a fungicide if needed.
We recommend growing one seedling plug per 6-inch container or one to three per gallon container. Use well-drained soil and center or evenly space the seedling plugs in the containers.
