General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
For best results with Guacamole, plant one rooted plug per 4-inch container or three per 10-inch container. Use well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0-6.5, EC of 0.6-0.9 (2:1), average daily temperatures of 65-72, and medium feed (150-200 ppm N). Pinch once at transplant, and don't use PGRs. You may see whiteflies.
Flowering
This variety is grown for its foliage.
Pinching
Pinch once at transplant.
Spacing
Space containers for adequate airflow and sunlight penetration around the base and foliage of each plant.
Height Control
This plant doesn't require PGRs.
Pests
You may see whiteflies.
Disease
Plectranthus isn't prone to disease. Watch for Botrytis during short days and high humidity. Water at the base of each plant in the morning, allowing soil to dry between waterings. Provide good airflow in your greenhouse, and space plants so sunlight can penetrate to the soil level of each container.
Planting Guacamole Liners
We recommend planting one rooted liner per 4-inch container or three per 10-inch container. Use well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot centered or evenly spaced in the container.
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.
