Lantana Red Spread Rooted Cutting Liner

For best results with Red Spread, plant one rooted plug per 4- or 6-inch container. 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.

Orange and red flower clusters bloom from summer to frost.

Pinch once at transplant.

Space containers for adequate airflow and sunlight penetration around the base and foliage of each plant.

Control growth with a paclobutrazol drench at 1-2 ppm if needed.

You may see aphids, whiteflies, thrips, and leafminers.

This plant isn't prone to disease but botrytis and root rot can develop in cool, wet, humid weather or overly wet conditions. Take preventative measures in your greenhouse and use a fungicide drench at transplant if desired.

1. Water at the base of each plant in the morning, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

2. Provide good airflow in your greenhouse. We recommend using horizontal airflow fans.

3. Space containers so each plant has airflow and sunlight penetration to the soil level.

We recommend planting one rooted liner per 4- or 6-inch container. Use a well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot in the center of the container.
