Pinching

Spacing
Space containers for adequate airflow around each plant and to allow sunlight to penetrate to the soil level.
Height Control

Disease
This plant can be prone to root rot. Water each plant in the morning and allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Space containers so sunlight can penetrate to the soil level of each plant, and provide good airflow in your greenhouse. We recommend using horizontal airflow fans.
Planting Erodium Bishops Form Liners
We recommend planting one rooted plug per 4-inch or gallon container. Use a well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot in the center of the container. Gallon containers finish in 10-14 weeks.
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.
