General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner

For best results with Angelonia, we recommend using a constant feed program of 175-225 ppm N. Maintain a pH between 5.8 - 6.2.

Pinching

We recommend that you pinch them 5-10 days after transplanting to your final container.

Spacing

Angelonia can be grown pot tight in 1801s or 4 inch pots, but you may need to spread them out as they reach their final size.

Height Control

While Angelonia are responsive to plant growth regulators, you usually do not need it unless you grow them for an extended period of time and the plant enters a rapid vegetative-growth cycle. Control height through allowing the media to dry slightly between waterings and maintaining lower fertilizer levels.

Pests

Whiteflies, aphids, and thrips are the biggest pest problems with Angelonia.

Disease

Alonia Dark Lavender are not prone to many diseases, but watch for botrytis while the days are short. This grey rot is usually associated with wet or humid conditions. You can prevent botrytis by allowing the plant to dry out between waterings, allowing for good airflow in your greenhouse, and spacing to allow the sun to penetrate to the soil level. The most common chemicals used to treat botrytis are Medallion and Banrot. Use them as a drench according to each label’s instructions.

Planting Alonia Dark Lavender Liners

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” pots, 1 plant per pot should be sufficient if you have enough time. Plant it directly in the middle of your pot. 

2. Pinching is recommended 5-10 days after transplantation. 

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.
