I know it doesn't help now, but next year by cuttings from Ecke or one of their rooting stations. I hate to say it, but you are behind the 8 ball already. You can spray for whitefly now, in my opinion. I don't know what you can do to correct the disease if it is at that stage. Ecke might be able to help. I would demand my money back. Good luck.

Six years ago we got a bad crop of cuttings from a run of the mill grower. At that point we switched to Ecke cuttings.

THESE ARE FROM AN ECKE GROWER!

We are working with the distributor to resolve; however this late in the season where am I going to find 3500 rooted cuttings?

Here are some tips to help the plantable cuttings along:

- Plant the cuttings as soon as possible to avoid further stress.
- Water in the cuttings with a broad spectrum fungicide that controls Pythium,Phytophthera, and Rhizoctonia. We suggest Subdue Maxx/ Medallion or Banrot.
- Watch media moisture levels. The media should not be saturated; this will slow root establishment even further.
- Don't fertilize until roots start to emerge from the cube; if the cuttings are sitting in well fed, charged up media this can also delay root establishment.

Obviously some of the cuttings in the pictures are not plantable. If you do not have any luck sourcing enough cuttings through the supplier you are working with please call customers service at the Ranch at 760-753-1134 and we will be happy to see what we can do to help you resolve this issue.
