Lysimachia Golden Globes Unrooted Cuttings

Lysimachia is a natural vine and a rather fast grower. We recommend that you pinch them 5-10 days after transplanting to your final container. They may require a second pinch to shape the plant for your final needs.

For hanging baskets, an average pot will need to be spaced at 2' centers. If you are growing them for landscape use in an 1801, be prepared to control growth through proper pinching.

Golden Globes does not tend to stretch tall and are not responsive to plant growth regulators. Use proper pinching to control growth.

Whiteflies, aphids, and spider mites are the biggest pest problems with Lysimachia.

Watch out for rust and leaf spots. Rust may be indicated by yellowed, withering leaves. Rust should be treated by immediately removing the affected plant parts. For a rust infestation that continues to return, a preventative fungicide may be used when new growth begins in the Spring. Prevent rust from spreading by removing all diseased debris at the end of the season.

Fungal leaf spot shouldn't cause Loosestrife to die, however it does cause cosmetic blemishes on plant foliage; this broad group of plant disease appears as small brownish lesions on plant leaves or flowers. It can be prevented by providing sufficient airflow, keeping plants away from standing water, and watering at the base of the plant. A fungicide can be used to treat leaf spot if the integrity of the plant will be damaged.

1. We recommend planting 4-5 starter plants per 10 inch basket. Use a well-drained soil in your baskets and plant your starter plants deep, allowing the ellepot to be completely covered by the soil. If you are planting 4 inch pots, 1 plant per pot should be sufficient. Plant it directly in the middle of your pot.
2. Pinching is recommended 5-10 days after transplantation. A second pinch may be necessary depending on the size and shape of the final pot.
