Propagate Lantana cuttings in the spring.
Make sure the plastic doesn’t touch the cuttings; use plant sticks to support the bag and keep it away from the stem if necessary.
Hardening off means that you slowly acclimatize your cutting to outdoor temperatures. This could mean moving it outside during the day, and then storing it in your garage overnight.
If you are growing from seeds, fill a pot with potting soil and plant the seeds. Keep the pots in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight.
Trailing varieties only grow to about 20 inches (50. 8 cm) in height but spread by several feet.
Lantana prefers to be kept moist even over winter.
Try to water the ground rather than soak the foliage.
Don’t over feed them but try to apply a weak liquid feed with a general purpose fertilizer (avoid those high in nitrogen relative to other ingredients) once a month during the growing season.
Give it a good prune in the early spring before it begins growing again; cut it back to within about a foot of the ground,
Try using a spray insecticide to control these pests if they emerge.
Move your plant outside again when the temperatures improve.
You can encourage bushy growth to make good ground cover by pinching the plant back. To do this, remove the stem tips just above where each stem branches into two stems. This will encourage more side branches to form.
Water once or twice a week during dry periods.
Avoid pruning in the fall.
Give the plant a liquid feed after pruning.
It’s always a good idea to feed the plant after pruning.
