Use a well-drained soil with a pH of 5.8-6.2, EC of 1.0-1.2, temperatures of 73-75 daytime and 65-68 nighttime, and light feed (100-150 ppm N). Pinch once at transplant and use paclobutrazol to control growth if needed. Watch for thrips, aphids, whiteflies, leafminers, botrytis, and root rot.

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.
