Usage

Packs, Pots, Mixed Containers and Landscape

Sowing method

1 seed per plug. No cover is necessary; however, a thin layer of medium vermiculite will help improve moisture around the seed.

Germination

Maintain optimal conditions for seedling development, beginning on the day of sowing until radicle emergence. Expect radicle emergence in 4-6 days. Humidity should be between 95-100% until day 4; then reduce to 40-60%.

Growing on

Facultative long day plant. Longer day length, higher light intensity and warmer temperatures will decrease the number of days to flower.

Media

Plug culture: pH 5.5-5.8; E.C. 0.5-0.75. Begin with a wet (4) and on day 4 reduce to a moist (3). On day 6, after radicle emergence, begin to alternate between and wet (4) and medium (2). Gazania require slightly drier moisture levels during and after germination.

Growing on: pH 5.5-5.8; EC 1.0-1.5. Alternate between moisture levels wet (4) and medium (2). Allow the media moisture to reach a medium before re-saturating to a medium.

Temperature

21-23 °C until radicle emergence, then lower to 20-21 °C. After transplanting, 16-17 °C during nights and 17-18 °C during days for the first 7-10 days or until the roots reach the bottom of the container. Thereafter temperatures may be lowered to 13-15 °C night, with a moderate increase in day temperature.

Fertilization

Fertilize with a complete calcium based fertilizer 1-2 times per week. Use a 14-4-14 or a 17-5-17 feed at 100 ppm nitrogen. Later on, fertilize 1-2 times weekly using a complete fertilizer, 15-5-15, 17-5-17, at 150-200 ppm nitrogen.


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.
