2 Media pH: Best results are achieved if media with the correct pH is used, starting with propagation.
3 Fertilizer needs: Start with low concentrations after roots show and increase with plant development to the recommended levels.
4 Watering: In general, avoid drying out or overwatering the substrate as this will affect plant quality and finishing time. Root system will suffer when conditions change from one extreme to the other. “Growing on the dry side” means letting the substrate become dry (substrate color turns light brown and substrate starts to separate from the pot edge) before watering. “Keep constantly moist” means watering the plants just before substrate becomes dry. Water management in rooting and finishing is half the success and the best way to prevent root-bound diseases, improve performance and control plant quality.
