General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
For best results with Sedum Griseum, plant one rooted plug per 4-inch container or three to five per 10-inch container.

3. Space containers to allow airflow and sunlight to reach the soil level of each plant.
Planting Sedum Griseum Liners
We recommend planting one rooted liner per 4-inch container or three to five per 10-inch container. Use well-drained soil and evenly space or center the ellepots in the containers.
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.
