Pinching
Licorice Plants need to be pinched, to encourage proper foliage density and pot shape. Pinch 5-10 days after transplanting to your final container (once the plant is well established), then as needed.
Spacing
Space pots as needed for proper airflow and light penetration between foliage . This will vary based on pot size size, but normal 2' centered spacing is usually adequate
Height Control
Plant growth regulators are not necessary for Helichrysum. Allow the plant to grow, and shape the pots through proper pinching.
Pests
Mealybugs is the number-one pest to watch out for with Helichrysum Licorice Plant.
Disease
Not prone to many diseases, but don't oversaturate the soil. If the plant sits in moist soil for an extended amount of time, you could end up with root rot or botrytis. Botrytis grey rot is usually associated with wet or humid conditions. You can prevent botrytis by allowing the plant to dry out between waterings, allowing for good airflow in your greenhouse, and spacing to allow the sun to penetrate to the soil level. The most common chemicals used to treat botrytis and root rot are Medallion and Banrot. Use them as a drench according to each label's instructions.

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.
