Lantana Cuttings in a Humid Greenhouse: Skip Misting If Mold Appears

A gardener rooting lantana cuttings in a humid greenhouse with mold issues asks about misting.

If Mold Is Present, Humidity Is Sufficient

Stop misting. Mold indicates excess moisture. Ventilate greenhouse (unzip door). Blue light is fine.

Rooting Recap

• Cuttings in soilless mix + rooting hormone.
• Enclosed in plastic bag for humidity (better than misting).
• Warmth (70-80°F).
• Roots in 2-3 weeks.

African violets love the humidity; lantana cuttings will too—just don't overdo it.
