Culture guide
Sowing method
4-5 seeds per plug.
Germination
Optimum conditions for seedling development, beginning on the day of sowing until radicle emergence. Expect germination in 3-6 days.
Temperature
Plug culture: 22-24°C (72-76 °F) until radicle emergence, then reduce to 18-20 °C (64-68 °F) during day and night.
Growing on: Cooler temperatures up to a minimum of 10 °C (50 °F) promote a compact, round plant habit in pots, but the crop time will increase significantly. Warmer temperatures shorten the crop time.
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.
