Pest and Disease Management: General pest and disease practices as listed in notes. Watch for aphids and white flies. Under high humidity and low light conditions, Oedema (syn. Intumesence) causes small bumps to form along the leaf veins. It is caused by the roots absorbing more water than the leaves can release. It usually resolves itself within a few weeks when light levels are higher and circulation is better. Prolonged wet foliage can lead to bacterial leaf spotting. Copper based fungicides will treat for this problem.
Grower Tips:
Chillin' varieties are very well branched, creating dense plants. This dense habit can make combination plantings challenging. They will make a great annual ground cover.
Special Notes: In low light conditions avoid wet soil and moisture on the foliage.
Spring Outdoor Finish?: C - Last to go outside
