Ellepots
1. We will be propagating in ellepots this season.
2. We can also offer Ellepots for your propagation needs. They are available in
105 or 50 cell trays. We can even have them arrive the week before
your unrooted cuttings are scheduled to ship. See page 21 for more info.
Ellepots:
Root Faster
Plant Faster
Re-wet Easier
Hold Longer
Ellepots are bathed in oxygen, which produces strong
healthy root systems. Our experience has shown overall
improvement of rooting even with plants that are slow to
root or have fine root systems. Soil wrapped with paper
does not settle into the plug flats like loose fill soil does.

#1 Variety
We’ve collected Angelwing Begonias for many years and have selected only the best varieties for commercial
use. They are relatively easy to grow, with remarkable sales appeal. Unlike many spring plants which must
be sold by Mother’s Day, these beautiful Begonias actually grow in value after spring. Just step up a 6” pot or
basket into a 2- or 3-gallon deck pot for a perfect patio or pool-area plant. Fannie Moser, Looking Glass, and My
Special Angel are slower growing. Angelwing Begonias are available as rooted plugs in 50-cell flats or unrooted
cuttings. Begonias root better as the days begin to lengthen. See our cultural tips page for more info!
We like these four varieties because of their unusual foliage. However, these four varieties are not
resistant to powdery mildew. If it should occur, use the chemical Strike. These varieties have the ability
to branch and bloom from the same leaf node, which is a nice characteristic, and unusual for Begonias.

(more vigorous grower than others)
To grow beautiful Bougainvillea like this 12” basket...
...we suggest you start 3 plants per pot by late summer/early fall and take advantage of the nice fall
weather. These will need to be cut back several times before spring to develop a full plant. Allow 60
days after the last cut to bloom in spring. Night-time temperatures of 50˚ are fine. Increased feeding
slightly during spring/summer (fast growing). These plants love hot weather, so hang them up in the
high part of your greenhouse. Falling blooms can be a problem when plants are in full bloom.
*We will only root Bougainvillea during August & September this year for shipping
fall and winter liners and will be available as long as they last.
*For those who want to start later because heated space is not available until January to February,
we still recommend 3 plants per pot and perhaps one pinch before blooming for spring and summer
sales. Plants will naturally be smaller the later you start, but these will sell all summer long.

Fuchsia and Petunia can be grown cooler
than many other plants. In fact, they
tend to stretch if grown too warm.
48˚ - 50˚ night temperature is fine, but
watch for Botrytis. Supplemental lighting
will cause Fuchsia to bloom earlier in
the spring (extra four hours per night
starting the first of February). Fuchsia
like cool temperatures and therefore are
not recommended for very hot areas.

Cultural Tips and Information
Look for these symbols on the
next few pages to know what
type of sun each variety needs.
Full Sun
Partial Sun
Full Sun to
Full Shade
Full Sun to
Partial Sun
Full Shade
Partial Sun to
Full Shade
Ajuga- Use well-drained soil in partial shade with light feed (150 ppm nitrogen). Plant 1 plant per 4" pot and
allow 6-8 weeks to finish. Watch for aphids and spider mites. Root rot diseases can also be a problem. This perennial
landscape plant has a tight mounding habit of about 6" tall. Ajuga are commonly used as ground covers, but are
catching on in combination planting. This variety is very cold-hardy.
Alternanthera- Grow this landscape plant as an annual. It will finish in six weeks for a 4” pot. Beautiful color all
summer long. Natural short habit (10") is great for planting in front of other taller landscape plants. Watch for white fly.
Angelonia- These Angelonia are wonderful! All four colors load up with full bloom spikes staying in the eighteen inch
height range. Allow 4-6 weeks for 4” pots; may need to pinch once. Watch for aphids, thrip, and spider mites.
Argyranthemum- This plant has an upright habit, perfect for combinations. Allow 6-8 weeks from plugs to finish.
Watch for spider mites.
Bacopa Trailing- Great for combos! Plant 5 plugs per 10” basket, with a minimum 50° night temperature, and
allow 10 weeks to finish. Botrytis can be a problem. High pH results in yellowed foliage (iron deficiency).
Maintain 5.5-6.0 pH. Bacopa mix well with almost anything! Watch for white fly and aphids.
Basket Grass, Oplismenus- This variegated true grass likes bright light. It tolerates both hot and cool temperatures.
Don’t let these dry out severely, but slightly between each watering and this will give a nice pink color to the leaves.
Used in hanging baskets, it looks like a variegated Bridal Veil. Allow 8-10 weeks for 4 plugs per 10” pot.
Begonias, Angelwing- Richmendensis and Sunbrite need bright light; all others prefer shade. Grow in 55°-60° night
temp, using low feed until spring. Begonias are not prone to pests, except perhaps thrips. Begonias must be grown
in well-drained soil to prevent soil-borne diseases. Watch for botrytis and powdery mildew in humid environments.
Allow six weeks for 1 plug per 4" pot. Allow 10-12 weeks four plugs per 10" basket. Pinch the baskets at 5-6
weeks to increase branching. Cuttings to be propagated should be checked for lateral branching before sticking.
If a hanging basket becomes overgrown step it up into a deck pot & triple the value of it.
Begonias, Charm/ Double- Grow Cherry Blossom in bright light, all others in medium light. Keep 55° night temp, and
use low feed. Do not put slow release fertilizer near stems. Allow six weeks for one plug per 4" pot, which may
need pinching at 2-3 weeks. Allow 6-8 weeks for 4 plugs per 10" basket. Pinch baskets at 3-week intervals, until
spring season- then let flower. Watch for thrips. Stem rot can be a problem if you do not use a well-drained soil.
Begonias, Rex- These have a similar culture to Angelwing, except somewhat slower—no pinching is needed.
Bacteria can be a problem: start clean, grow clean. Habit is more for small pots. Allow 6-8 weeks to finish a 4” pot
at 60° night temperature. Watch for thrip.
Bidens- Good for mixed containers, filling in low spaces with nice fern-leafed foliage and bright yellow flowers. Likes a
well drained soil and bright light. Allow 8-10 weeks to mature in baskets.
Bougainvillea- Grow for at least 10 weeks in bright light and pinch as needed to keep plants well-branched. 60°
night temps yield the best growth, but some growers who start in the fall could allow cooler nights during the
coldest months. Plants may defoliate in the winter. Allow them to dry out between watering.
Maintain a pH of 5-6. A higher pH will cause iron deficiency.

We now offer ellepot flats for your propagation
needs. You may place your order for ellepots along
with your unrooted cutting order: simply ask for flats
to match your cuttings. It’s that simple!
Ellepots:
Root Faster • Plant Faster
Re-wet Easily • Hold Longer
50’s, 105’s, & 1801’s available!
Ellepots are bathed in oxygen which produces strong healthy root systems. Our experience has
shown overall improvement of rooting even with plants that are slow to root or have fine root
systems. Soil wrapped with paper does not settle into the plug flats like loose fill soil does.
*Ellepots are sold in cases of 10 per box or 200 flats per pallet. 1801 flats sold 96 per pallet (by the pallet only).
Cost is per flat. Call us for a quote on truck load pricing.
Here is a list of plant varieties that are patented or plant patent applied for. Propagation is prohibited:

Wholesale Plants
Calibrachoa- Great combination plant! Grow in bright light and well-drained soil, using moderate feed. Soil should be
slightly acidic to prevent iron deficiency. Yellow tip growth is a symptom of iron deficiency. Watch for thrip and
aphids. Do not allow these to dry out severely between watering. Allow 8-10 weeks to finish a basket with 3 ppp at
60° night temp. (Can be grown much cooler but crop time would be affected.)
Candy Corn Manettia Luteo- This plant variety is a fast growing vine, climbing the wires of baskets or trellises.
Loads up with Candy Corn flowers as it matures. Allow 8-10 weeks to finish.
Carnation- This winter-hardy Carnation is a great plant for landscape and container growers. Hanging basket growers
should cut back plants frequently during winter months so that plants are short and stocky for a burst of color in the
spring. Grow 4 plants per 10" basket. Carnations should be grown in well-drained soil. A cold frame or cool green
house will produce good results for this plant. Use low feed until spring. Watch for aphids. Start in fall for cool
house-grown plants for spring. Heated house-grown plants should finish in 10 weeks at 55° night temperature.
Chenille Firetail- This is a good bright-light basket plant. It loads up with blooms in 10-12 weeks if planted 5 plugs
per 10" basket. Chenille grow faster as the days get longer. Use low feed in the winter, high feed in the spring.
Watch for white flies. pH of no more than 6.5 is important to prevent iron deficiency. Chenille mix well with almost anything.
Chicken Gizzard- This unusual plant is always colorful. It has an upright growth habit 12"-18" in height. Allow
medium levels of light (indoors near a window, in a sun room, or outside as an annual). Plant 1 plant per 4" pot in
well-drained soil with low feed. Pinch plants at three-week intervals to develop a very full bush. Allow 3-6 weeks to
finish, depending on fullness desired. Watch for spider mites and aphids.
Chinese Lantern, Abutilon- need a well drained soil with a pH of approximately 6.0. Fast growing plants need pinching
to stay full and bushy. They are natural bloomers. Plant 4 plants in 10” baskets. 60˚ night temperature. Bright light.
Allow 10 weeks to finish. Watch for whitefly.
Christmas Christmas Cactus can be started right after your spring season- May - July. Natural blooming time is closer to
Thanksgiving, therefore they are often called Holiday Cactus. Blooming can be delayed with mum style lighting
(increasing day length by 4 hours). Starting around September 1st, be sure plants are kept above 60˚ during this
time because cool temperatures can initiate blooms, even in long days. Plants will bloom 7 weeks after short day
length is started again. We recommend 1 plug (2 cuttings) per pot on 3”-4” pots. 2-3 plugs or 4-6 cuttings per pot on
5”-6” pots and 4-5 plugs (8-10 cuttings) per 6” or 8” baskets. For larger baskets use our 2 1/2” year old stock- 3 ppp
for 10” or use your left over 4” pots from previous year to make large baskets. Grow shaded for summer, in well
drained sterile media. Watch for root rot diseases. Pinching back in August helps produce more branching and more
flowers at finish.
Cissus Ivy- Cissus Rhombifolia, otherwise known as Grape Ivy, is a tropical plant that makes nice hanging baskets. It is
becoming popular in combination planting because of its unique foliage. Use well-drained soil in part shade with
light feed (150 ppm nitrogen) and warm temperatures (60° nights). Plant 4 plants per 10" basket and allow 12 weeks
to finish. Watch for aphids and spider mites. Drench with fungicide occasionally to prevent root-rot disease.
Coleus- All our varieties love full sun except as noted in catalog. All are vigorous; pinch as needed to control stretch.
You can have baskets easily in 8 weeks or less using 4 plants per 10” basket. Pinch a 4” pot once to finish it in 4
weeks. Downy mildew symptoms are a tiny gray fuzz on back of leaves and leaf damage, causing lower leaves to fall.
Inspect often, for disease favors cool, humid conditions. Spray for prevention rather than treat this disease.
Diascia- Our new Diascia has large flowers on foliage that grows neat and full. This variety mixes well with other full
sun plants to make combination planters. It is a color that works well spring and fall. Plant 4 ppp in 10” basket
in well drained soil, and allow 8-10 weeks to finish. Watch for mites and aphids.
25
Double Impatiens- Grow this plant in bright light for the winter; then shade it a little for spring. Watch for thrips
and spider mites, especially as the weather warms toward spring. A treatment of Florel is helpful for branching, but
it must be applied to plants at an early stage. Do not allow Florel to drain into the root system. If plants are
sprayed 1-2 weeks after rooted cuttings are planted, lateral branching will be increased and blooming will be
stopped for up to 6 weeks after treatment. Feed plants at 150 ppm nitrogen or less. Epsom salt helps keep them
green. 1 plug per 4" pot (well-spaced from the onset) should finish in 4-6 weeks. Allow 8-10 weeks for four plugs
per 10" basket. Plant height easily controlled with plant growth regulators. Grow at 55° night temperatures.
Dracena Indivisa- This is an upright plant. It is commonly used in combination planting to add height to the
amalgamation. Feed 150 ppm nitrogen at 60° night temperatures. Allow 6-8 weeks grow-time for 4” pots.
Duranta- Cold hardy to 28°. Duranta Yellow is great for borders due to its low stature. Allow 6 weeks for one plug to make a 4” pot.
Euphorbia- Great for mixed containers, pots and baskets. White blooms. Green leaves and red stems create consrast.
Allow 4” pots 6-7 weeks, and 12 weeks for 10” baskets. Use a well drained soil. Grow in bright light with 62˚ night
time temperatures. The key is to keep them moist, but not too wet. Watch for whiteflies.
Evolvulus Blue Daze- Unusual blue flowers make this spreading plant stand out. This variety will tolerate full sun,
which makes it a great landscaper's plant. Also used in hanging baskets. Grow in well-drained soil with a pH between
5.5 and 6.5. Use moderate feed in warm temperatures. Plants do not tolerate drought very well when
grown in containers. Plant 4 plants per 10" basket. Grow in bright light. Will finish in 10 weeks.
Ferns, Emerald Queen & True Boston Massii- Develop a nice 4” pot by fall; then transplant one 4” pot to one 10” basket to
finish for spring. Grow at 60° night temperatures. Watch for fall worms. Watch also for fungi in wet weather as the plants
get more full. pH of 6 or less.
Fuchsia- Start these plants in December or January for spring baskets, and allow plenty of light and space. Use low
feed to start off, then use medium as days get longer. Pinch them at 4-week intervals. Allow 60 days from the last
pinch to the first bloom in spring. Plant 4 plugs per 10" pot. Grow at 50° night temperatures. Watch for white flies,
aphids, thrips, and the foliage diseases rust and botrytis.
Supplemental lighting of 4 hours per night will cause blooms in early spring.
Geraniums- Pelargonium- Great for all sizes of containers, these can be grown at a preferable 61˚ temperature. Be sure
to disinfect growing area thoroughly. Geraniums usually require no growth regulators. Maintain pH of 5.5-6.5.
Watch for Botrytis and Rust. A weekly preventative spray program is recommended. Call for suggestions.
Goldfish, Gesneriads, Lipstick- Great houseplants exotic & beautiful. Use a well-drained soil and low feed. You can even
grow these under a dark gutter where nothing else seems to grow. Allow 16 weeks for 3 plants per 8” basket to
finish. Avoid cold water on foliage. Grow in 60° night temperatures. Watch for whitefly, mealy bugs, and thrip.
Hedera Ivy- Use a well-drained soil with a pH of 5.5-6.5 and low feed. Watch for spider mites and mealy bugs. Plant
several cuttings per pot to have a full one. Allow six weeks at 60° night temperatures for 4” pots. Grow in low to
medium light. Allow 12 weeks for 7 plugs per 10” basket to finish. Our plugs have 3 ppp. These plants are winter hardy.
Helichrysum Licorice- Also called Trailing Dusty Miller, this unique plant has white fuzzy leaves on fast growing vines
(slightly upright). It makes a nice combination basket when used with blooming annuals. This variety likes bright light
and well-drained soil with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5. Grow at low feed ‘til spring then use moderate feed. Plant 1
plant per 4” pot with 60° night temperatures. Pinch at 3 weeks and allow 6-8 weeks to finish. Plant 4 plants per 10”
basket and allow 10 weeks to finish.
Heliotrope Marine- Heliotrope is a great landscape plant. Its purple flowers are very fragrant, and its mounding
habit keeps the plant neat and clean. This variety prefers well-drained soil (pH 5.5-6.5), bright light, and 60° night
temperatures. Feed at 150 ppm nitrogen. Allow 6-8 weeks in spring for 4”-5” pots to finish.
26
Herbs- These can be grown cool. Take special consideration when using chemical sprays on culinary herbs. Allow 6
weeks and perhaps a pinch to finish 4” pots. Many Herbs are winter hardy to some degree; Basil & Stevia are not.
Heuchera- are wonderful shade garden plants. The leaf color will change year-round, which adds beauty and diversity to
your garden as well. With a Midwest hardiness breeding, they are perfect for borders, rock gardens, and/or groundcover.
Hibiscus- This tropical Hibiscus has large, bright blooms and dark green foliage. Its upright shrub habit can grow up to
6’ tall if left alone. Use well-drained soil with moderate feed (200 ppm nitrogen) and allow soil to dry moderately
between watering. Plant 1 plant per 6” pot and pinch at 4 weeks or use chemical growth regulators. (Left
untreated, this plant will grow leggy in humid greenhouse conditions.) Allow 8 weeks to finish. Plant 3 plants per
3 gal. container and allow 12 weeks to finish (don’t forget to pinch). Watch for aphids, mealy bugs, and white flies.
Impatiens, New Guinea- These like filtered light and well-drained soil. Watch for spider mites and thrips, especially
as the weather warms toward spring. Allow 5 weeks for 1 plug per 4” pot. Allow 10 weeks for 4 plugs per 10” pot.
Grow at 60° night temperatures. Shade for spring and summer.
Ipomoea- This variety flourishes in full sun. Grow at 60° night temperatures. Allow 4 weeks for 1 plant per 4” pot to
finish. Allow 8-10 weeks for 4 plants per 10” basket to finish. Pinch as needed to keep plants from over-growing.
Watch for aphids, spider mites, & white fly.
Lamium- These varieties are perennial plants that range 6”-12” in height. They are used in hanging baskets and make
nice additions to combination baskets: their flowers contrast with their silver foliage. Lamium also makes a
good ground cover. These varieties like well-drained soil and high light (moderate sun). Lamium can be grown cooler,
40˚ night temperatures. Plant 4 plants per 10” basket and allow 8 weeks to finish.
Lantana- Grow these as annuals in full sun. Allow 4-6 weeks for 1 plant per 4” pot to finish. (We recomend the short
varieties for 4” pots.) One pinch is recommended. Florel is good for young plants to increase branching; see Double
Impatiens information about Florel. Practice good white fly monitoring & control.
Lobelia Trailing- Lobelia prefer cool temperature, but these varieties tolerate heat slightly better than old varieties.
Allow 8 weeks to fill 10” baskets at 4 plants per pot.
Lobularia- Great for mixed containers, pots, and baskets. Small white flowers start early and last through summer. Use a
well drained soil. Keep moist, but not too wet.
Lotus Vine- Nice trailing, gray foliage is set on fire with blooms usually by late spring. Grow in well drained soil in bright
light with moderate feed. Allow 10-12 weeks for 10” baskets that may need pinching once. Can be grown cool.
Vernalization needed for flowering at least 30 days with night temperature below 40˚ but above 32˚.
Mexican Heather- A great landscape or container plant (not winter-hardy.) Plant in well-drained soil with a pH level
between 5.5 and 6.5. Moderate feed and bright light will grow the best plant. Plant 1 plant per 4” pot with a
60° night temperature and allow 8 weeks to finish. Plant 4 plants per 10” pot and allow 8-10 weeks to finish.
Pellonia- This trailing foliage plant is good for pots or hanging baskets. Plant 3 plants per 4” pot and allow 6 weeks to
finish. Plant 5 plugs per 10” basket and allow 12 weeks to finish. Grow in well-drained soil; never grow in
saturated soil. Use low feed in low light. There are few insect problems, but an occasional drench with fungicide
for soil borne diseases is good. Plant needs warm night time temperatures- 60˚ to do well.
Peperomia- The trailing foliage makes a wonderful hanging basket plant that reaches 2’ in length with a growth
habit that is compact and full. Plant in well-drained soil with a pH level of 6.0. Use low feed until root system is
well-established. Then constant feed of 150 ppm with an occasional leaching of the soil with plain water. Do not
allow soil to stay saturated. Epsom salts will add richness to the color of the foliage. For fast hanging baskets, plant
7-10 plants per 10” pot. Keep night temperature at 60°. Baskets are nice and ready for sale in 8-10 weeks.
27
Petunias- Allow 8 weeks for 4 plants per 10” basket to finish. These can be grown cool, at 50° night or less
temperatures, but allow more time. Maintain a good pH control of 5.0-6.0. A higher pH will cause iron deficiency.
Practice good monitoring for thrips. Miniature petunias are mounding habit plants with approx. quarter-sized
blooms. Cut overgrown plants back for another show.
Philodendron- Use well-drained soil with a pH between 5.5-6.5 and low feed. Watch for spider mites and mealy bugs.
Several cuttings per pot should be used on these varieties (our starters have 3 plants per starter) because the more
cuttings, the more full the pot. Allow 8 weeks at 60° night temperature for 4” pots. Grow in low to medium light.
Plant 15 cuttings or 5 starter plugs per 10” basket and allow 12 weeks to finish.
Piggyback Plant, Tolmiea- flourishes in partial shade, a minimum temperature of 45°, somewhat humid air, and
a rich, well-drained soil. The soil should be pretty moist at all times, especially in the summer. When the plants
have a well-developed root system, diluted liquid fertilizer can be added at weekly intervals. Plant 3 cuttings per
10” basket and allow 8 weeks to finish. Watch for aphids and mealy bugs.
Pilea- Use well-drained soil and medium light with low feed. Plant 1 plug per 4” pot to finish in 4-6 weeks. Plant 5
plugs per 10” basket to finish in 8-10 weeks. Plugs of small leaf types have multiple plants. 60˚ night temp.
Plectranthus- Possible length of 3-4 feet. Plant 1 plant per 4” pot and pinch at 3 weeks. Plant 7 plants per 10”
basket. Grow in medium light with moderate feed. Allow 8 weeks to finish full baskets. Given more time, these
plants make very large baskets. Grow at 55°-60° night temperatures for 8 weeks.
Pothos- Use well-drained soil with a pH between 5.5-6.5 and low feed. Watch for spider mites and mealy bugs. Several
cuttings per pot should be used on these varieties (our starters have 3 plants per starter) because the more
cuttings, the more full the pot. Allow 8 weeks at 60° night temperature for 4” pots. Grow in low to medium light.
Plant 15 cuttings or 5 starter plants per 10” basket and allow 12 weeks to finish.
Purple Passion, Gynura- For a nice 4” pot, plant 2 starters per pot in well-drained soil. The pH should be about
6.0. Do not allow these to stay saturated, because plants are susceptible to stem rot when grown wet. Use low
feed and bright light. Pinch as needed to promote lateral branching. Allow ten weeks for 7 plants per 10” basket
to finish. Watch for aphids. Not a good summer plant since blooms have a strong odor.
Purslane, Portulaca Hybrid- Grow these at 60° for 8-10 weeks. Watch for aphids and thrips. Try sticking these
unrooted cuttings directly into baskets. Must have bright light. One of the best plants you can grow in hot, sunny
locations. Purslane is a tough plant that stores water in it’s succulent leaves.
Scaevola Blue Fan Flower- This variety is great for hanging baskets! Its trailing foliage covers itself with pretty,
sky-blue flowers. Use bright light, well-drained soil, feed at 200 ppm nitrogen, and 60° night temperatures. Plant 5
plants per 10” basket and allow 10 weeks to finish. Watch for spider mites.
Senecio Ivy- This “soft ivy” plant is not winter-hardy like Hedera Helix Ivy, but it is a faster grower. This variety fills
pots with full, rich green foliage. Plant 1-2 plants per 4” pot and 60° night temperatures to finish in 6 weeks.
Plant 4 plants per 10” basket and allow 8 weeks to finish.
Setcrecea Purple Heart- The large purple foliage on this variety makes it great for landscapes or combo baskets.
Its upright habit can grow 18”-24” tall. Plant 1 plant per 4” pot at 60° night temp. and allow 3-4 weeks to finish.
Low feed to start and moderate feed as the days lengthen in the spring. The pH should be between 5.5-6.5. This
plant looks nice planted in a bed behind Yellow Alternanthera.
28
Spider Chlorophytum- Medium light and well-drained soil with low to moderate feed. Start a 4” pot with 1 plant
and allow 4-6 weeks at 60° night temperature. 3-4 plants per 10” basket will finish in 10 weeks. Great combo plant
adding height and color.
Springeri Fern- Grows well in sun or shade. It has an upright sprawling habit that makes it useful in landscape
applications or in pot culture (although not winter-hardy). This variety handles drought very well. Watch for aphids
and mites. Plant 1 plug per 4” pot at 60° with low to medium feed to finish in 8-10 weeks. 3-4 plants per pot in
10” baskets need 16-20 weeks to finish.
Streptocarpella Trailing- These like cool temperatures and grow best in shaded areas. 1 plant per pot on 4” pots.
If you plant by January, you will finish nicely for early spring. Well-drained soil and low feed with mild-temperature
water (never use cold water on foliage). Grow at 55-60° night temperature. Hanging baskets need 4 plants per pot
with 10 weeks to finish.
Strobilanthes Persian Shield- Tropical foliage plant that works well in landscape with purple and green foliage.
Height up to 3 feet. Watch for aphids and spider mites.
Succulents- Grow these on the dry side in a very well drained soil. Succulents store water in their leaves
and do not need to be watered as often as other plants. Mix these in bowls and rock garden dishes. They also make
wonderful living wreaths. (To get the wire wreathes, check with Topiary Artworks in Clearwater, KS.) Succulents
have few problems with insects (perhaps a mealybug) or disease (except perhaps stem rot). Allow 6 weeks
to get rooted in good in small containers.
Thunbergia, Black-eyed Susan- Fast growing vines produce lots of flowers in full sun. Heat tolerant and easy
to grow. Allow 8 weeks in the spring with 4 plants per 10” basket to finish. This is also a good trellis plant.
Watch for aphids and white flies.
Torenia Trailing- makes a great hanging basket or ground cover. This variety likes well-drained soil and high light
(moderate sun). It can tolerate cooler temperatures, down to 50° at night. Plant 4 plants per 10” basket
and allow 10 weeks to finish.
Verbena Trailing- Use well-drained soil with a pH between 5.5-6.5 and moderate feed. Watch for spider mites,
white flies, and aphids. Verbena do not tolerate drought very well, so keep them moist. 4” pots will need only one
plug per pot, pinched at 3 weeks. Grow in 55° night temperature to finish in 6-8 weeks. 10” baskets will need 4
plants per pot and 10 weeks to finish. Can be grown cooler even in cold frame if desired.
Vinca Vine- Grows nice on low feed in well drained soil of pH between 5.5-6.5. Can be grown in cool temperatures
but the growth slows naturally with cooler temperatures. Florel treatments can help the foliage grow tighter and
more full. Plant 6 cuttings, or 1-2 plugs, per 4” pot and pinch at 3 weeks. Feed at 150 ppm nitrogen and allow 6-8
weeks to finish. 10” baskets must be planted very full or mixed with filler plants to make a good head on the pot.
Allow 10 weeks to finish. Very winter hardy.
Wandering Jew- These plants flourish in partial shade, humid air, and rich, well-drained soil. Grow at night time
temperatures of 55-60°. The soil should be pretty moist at all times, but especially in the summer. When the plants
have developed a good root system, diluted liquid fertilizer can be fed at weekly intervals. Plant 15 cuttings
(8 starter plugs) per 10” basket and allow 8 weeks to finish. Watch for aphids and mealybugs. The variegated
varieties Tricolor, Rainbow, & Green/yellow may need an occasional pruning to remove green, due to the natural
habit of reverting back to green. Grow Tricolor & Rainbow at low feed levels (starve them) and also allow them to
get dry between watering and you will see the pink color become much richer.

We can help you save on fuel!
As you already know, it saves a bundle to turn down those thermostats just 5˚: imagine growing at 40˚ night
temperature! Of course some crops will not tolerate this. Here is a list of varieties that not only will tolerate
cool weather, but in many cases, look better when grown cool. You will notice tighter, fuller plants with
more natural desire to bloom as days lengthen in early spring. Allow more time to finish. Watch for Botrytis.
