General pest and disease practices as listed in notes. Scout for mealy bugs and treat as needed, look carefully at the intersection of the leaf and the main stem because mealy bugs can hide in these areas.
Grower Tips:
-Sharp drops in temperature can damage the foliage. Only move outside when temperatures will not fall below 50 degrees.
-When plants are first moved outside foliage can also be damaged by high winds. Plants should be protected until hardened off to windy conditions.
-Plants are recommended for gallon or larger pot sizes.
Do not move outside
