General Growing Tips For Your Seedling Tray
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.
Flowering
This plant is grown for its foliage.
Pinching
This plant doesn't require pinching.
Spacing
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.
Height Control
This plant doesn't require PGRs.
Pests
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.
Disease
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.
Planting Carex Bronze Curls Liners
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.
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.
