Growing Terracotta

Stake early since stems climb quickly and bend under heavy heads. Pinch at six true leaves to multiply productive laterals. Disbud side shoots for longer cutting stems. Feed with balanced fertilizer once buds set, then switch to low-nitrogen. Water deeply at the root zone and keep foliage dry to prevent powdery mildew.

Spacing: Space about 3 ft apart
Staking: Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
