Disease
This plant isn't prone to disease, but root rot can develop in overly wet conditions. Take these precautions in your greenhouse to prevent infection.
1. Water at the base of each plant in the morning and allow the soil to dry between waterings.
2. Provide good airflow in your greenhouse. We recommend using horizontal airflow fans.
3. Space containers to allow sunlight and air to penetrate to the soil level of each plant.
Planting Vinca Minor Evelyn Liners
We recommend planting one rooted plug per 4- or 6-inch container or three per 10-inch container. Evenly space or center the plugs in the pot and completely bury the ellepot.
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.
