We explore some of the more common problems you may encounter when cuttings are under-fertilized during propagation and how to avoid them.

Fertilizing foliage

Understand the key differences and similarities between feeding foliage and flowering crops.

Handling hardness

Alkalinity doesn’t only affect substrate pH; it creates issues with water hardness. Learn how to manage it throughout production.

Dial in degrees

Managing temperatures is essential for the predictability of fresh-cut culinary herbs.

Red and far-red light

It’s important to know how red and far-red light act as a signal to plants in a greenhouse environment.

Tank mix tune-ups

Increase the efficiency of plant growth regulators through tank mixing.

Lighting up culinary herbs

Learn how adjusting light intensity, quality and duration affects production of these valuable crops.

Poinsettia propagation

It’s never too early to start thinking about propagating poinsettias.

Take a walk on the drier side

It is often said that irrigation is “more art than science.” If so, then growing dry should be considered “high art.”

The flexibility of herbs

Whether you grow containerized or fresh-cut herbs, there are several choices of production systems that work well for this crop.
