General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
For best results with Axillaris, plant three rooted plugs per 4-inch container. Use a well-drained succulent media.

Disease
While Axillaris isn't prone to disease, use good sanitation practices in your greenhouse and allow soil to dry between waterings. Provide good airflow, including using horizontal airflow fans. Space containers for airflow and sunlight penetration to the soil level of each plant.
Planting Axillaris Liners
We recommend planting three rooted liners per 4-inch container. Use a well-drained succulent media and completely bury the ellepot in the center of the container.

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.
