Culture guide
Usage
Pots, Mixed Containers and Hanging Baskets
Sowing method
1-2 pellets per plug
Germination
Optimum conditions for seedling development, beginning on the day of sowing until radicle emergence. Expect radicle emergence in 6-8 days.
Media
pH 5.5-5.8; EC 0.5-0.75.
Temperature
Plug culture: 22-24 °C (72-76 °F) until radicle emergence. For irrigation use warm water above 18 °C (65 °F) only. Afterwards, ensure 20-21 °C (68-70 °F) during night and day. When the roots reach the bottom of the cell, the temperature can be lowered to 19-20 °C (66-68 °F).
Growing on: 18-20 °C (64-68 °F) nights, 16-18 °C ( 60-64 °F) days until the roots reach the bottom of the pot. Thereafter, temperatures can be lowered to minimum 10-12 °C (50-54 °F) day and night. An ADT (average daily temperature) of 18 °C (64 °F) will give the fastest finished crop.
Stage I Starts with the radicle breaking through the testa. The roots are touching the medium. Ends with fully developed cotyledons.
Stage II Starts from fully developed cotyledons. Ends with the fully developed true leaf or true leaf pair.
Stage III Starts from the fully developed true leaf or true leaf pair and ends with 80% of the young plants being marketable.
Stage IV All young plants are ready for sale and in the process of being hardened off. This stage lasts about 7 days.
The cultural recommendations are based on results from trials conducted under Central European conditions. Different conditions in other parts of the world may lead to deviations in results achieved.
