CapSil ® (spray adjuvant) can be sprayed on the cuttings at a rate of 2–4 oz/100 gal within 1–2 days after sticking to help in rehydration of the cuttings. Misting should be significantly reduced after 2–3 days and after cuttings become fully hydrated.
Recommended 3.5–4 Weeks 70–74 °F (21–23 °C)
Comments: To control growth after rooting, sprays of B-Nine ® WSG (1,500–2,500 ppm) is sufficient. It is also becoming popular for growers to combine Florel ® (350 ppm) with the B-Nine ® WSG (1,500 ppm) to increase growth control and to improve branching. These Florel ® + B-Nine ® WSG combo sprays should be applied to actively growing plants. Do not spray B-Nine ® WSG or Florel ® + B-Nine ® WSG tank mixes on stressed or weak cuttings. For all sprays listed above, the mist should be off for a minimum of one hour for the PGR to absorb into the leaf tissue.

Comments: Lysimachia Goldii is a trailing plant that is typically pinched once in propagation to control growth. Syngenta Flowers offers Lysimiachia Goldii as a pre-pinched cutting to decrease labor costs and provide the grower with a liner that develops roots faster and creates a denser liner. Transplant on time to avoid stretched growth and over-grown liners.

Comments: To keep plants under control, a spray of B-Nine ® WSG (2,500 ppm) or B-Nine ® WSG (2,500 ppm) + Cycocel ® (1,000 ppm) can be applied after cuttings are well-rooted and vegetative growth begins. It is also becoming popular for growers to combine Florel ® (350 ppm) with the B-Nine ® WSG (1,500–2,500 ppm) to increase growth control and to improve branching. These Florel ® + B-Nine ® WSG combo sprays should be applied to actively growing plants and done ideally before pinching. Do not spray B-Nine ® WSG or Florel ® + B-Nine ® WSG tank mixes on stressed or weak cuttings. For all sprays listed above, the mist should be off for a minimum of one hour for the PGR to absorb into the leaf tissue.
