General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
Grow in full sun to partial sun with well-drained soil and good airflow. Keep the crop evenly moist, but avoid overly wet media, since dianthus can be sensitive to soggy conditions. Maintain a soil pH around 5.8–6.5 and feed with a balanced fertilizer around 100–150 ppm nitrogen.
Flowering
Bright purple blooms should appear from spring to fall.
Pinching
Pinching is not recommended. For best results, allow the plants to grow naturally and focus on spacing, light, and temperature control.
Spacing
Space plants approximately 10–14 inches apart in garden beds, containers, or landscape plantings. For cut-flower production, growers may plant closer at around 4–6 plants per square foot, but airflow is important to help reduce disease pressure.
Pests
Scout regularly for aphids, especially around new growth and developing flower buds. Also watch for thrips, spider mites, and fungus gnats in greenhouse production.
Disease
Watch for botrytis, powdery mildew, rust, fungal leaf spots, and root rot. Avoid late-day overhead watering, keep foliage dry when possible, and give plants enough room for airflow.
Planting Sweet Neon Purple Liners
Use a single plug for 4-inch production and three to five plugs when growing in 10-inch 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.
