Usually not required if growing cool. If conditions are warmer or darker than ideal spray with B-Nine ® at 2,500–5,000 ppm.
Keep media pH below 5.8 to help avoid Thielaviopsis infections. Under hot temperatures provide lower light levels to reduce heat stress. Do not hold Pansy plugs - transplant before plugs get root bound.

TECH TIPS
Under most growing environments, chemical growth regulation is required to control stem elongation of Arabesque Penstemon. For growth control, use sprays of Sumagic ® at 5–10 ppm or a tank mix of B-Nine ® WSG at 1,500 ppm plus Cycocel ® at 750 ppm. Alternatively, drench with Bonzi ® at 0.5–2.0 ppm. One to two applications are generally needed.
Warm day temperatures can promote soft growth and excessive stem elongation.
