This plant isn't prone to disease but root rot can develop in overly wet conditions. Thunbergia Alata requires consistent moisture, but allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Water at the base of the plant in the morning. Provide good airflow in your greenhouse and space containers to allow air and sunlight to reach the soil level of each plant.
We recommend planting one rooted liner per 4-inch container, two or three per 6-inch, or three to five per 10-inch. Completely bury the ellepot, evenly spaced or centered in the containers.
