General Growing Tips For Your Seedling Tray
You should maintain a media pH between 5.5 and 6.0 . Potomac Early Orange requires moderate daylengths and light levels with temperatures ideally between 55°F and 60°F
Pinching
You should not pinch this variety . Allowing the plant to grow naturally ensures that you maintain the strong central leader necessary to produce the tall, uniform flower spikes.
Spacing
We recommend a planting density of 10 to 12 plants per square foot. Proper spacing is one of your best tools for preventing disease and ensuring you produce uniform, professional-grade stems.
Pests
Regularly scout your crop for common pests like aphids, thrips, spider mites, mealybugs, and whiteflies.
Disease
Stay alert for Botrytis, rust, powdery mildew, and various forms of root or stem rot.
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.
