Cabrio calibrachoas are compact-medium growers and will need only moderate growth regulation after transplant. To keep plants under control, sprays of either B-Nine ® (2500 ppm) or Sumagic ® (10–15 ppm) can be applied to the plants as needed. A spray of Florel ® (350–500 ppm) or Florel ® (350–500 ppm) + B-Nine ® (1500–2500 ppm) can also be done early on to control growth and improve branching. For the best looking plants, a Bonzi ® drench (1–2 ppm) should be applied to the media about 4 weeks before full finish and sale. Be consistent in Bonzi ® drench volumes since higher drench volumes can result in more growth retarding effect.

Cabrio ™ Yellow 70074727 C-M E-M 10.5 hrs. Tech Tips: Keep the pH down in the mid 5s to avoid tip yellowing—drench with iron chelate if necessary. Avoid overwatering of young plants. Plants can be pinched twice on baskets and larger containers (once in prop, once after transplant). An early Florel ® or Florel ® + B-Nine ® WSG spray improves branching. Mid-season Bonzi ® drenches are the key to beautiful mounded baskets. Watch for Aphids. High DLIs and moderate-to-cool finishing temperatures produce high-quality calibrachoas. Cabrio Calibrachoa was bred and selected to flower under day lengths of 10.5 hours. Use proper sanitation when pinching or shearing calibrachoa to prevent possible virus spread.
