Both licorice and carrots have deep taproots that can compete for nutrients and water in the soil.
Radishes also have a strong root system and may compete for resources with licorice.
Aphids feed on the plant's sap, causing stunted growth, distorted leaves, and honeydew secretion which can lead to sooty mold. Inspect regularly for aphids and their feeding signs, and address promptly.
Spider mites suck the sap, causing stippling, discoloration, and eventually leaf drop if left untreated. Look for tiny webs and discoloration on the leaves.
Steps:
- For seed propagation, sow seeds in well-drained soil in spring or early fall.
- For root cuttings, select healthy, mature root pieces and plant them deeply in the soil.
