1. Space plants 18-24" apart in well-drained soil in full sun.
2. Water once a week or more often in drought.
General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
For best results with Fire, plant one rooted plug per 6- or 10-inch container. Use well-drained soil with a pH of 5.8-6.2, EC of 1.8-2.2, temperatures of 65-75 daytime and 55-65 nighttime, and light feed (150-200 ppm N). This plant requires vernalization and long days to flower. Don't pinch or use PGRs. Watch for aphids, thrips, and whiteflies. Botrytis can develop during short, humid days or in overly wet conditions.
Flowering
Red-eyed yellow flowers up to 4" in diameter bloom from summer to frost.
Pinching
This plant doesn't require pinching.
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 aphids, thrips, and whiteflies.
Disease
This plant isn't prone to disease, but Botrytis or Powdery Mildew can develop in wet, humid conditions. Take these precautions in your greenhouse.
1. Always practice good sanitization and properly dispose of infected materials.
2. Water at the base of each plant in the morning and allow soil to dry between waterings.
3. Provide good airflow. We recommend using horizontal airflow fans.
4. Space containers so airflow and sunlight can reach the soil level of each plant.
Planting Fire Liners
We recommend planting one rooted liner per 6- or 10-inch container. Use well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot in the center of 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.
