M-V E Tech Tips: Calliope Medium geraniums are moderately vigorous and may require regular PGR applications, especially under warm growing conditions. Provide relatively high light levels and warm temperatures early on to establish the plant and to allow it to respond adequately to PGRs. Early Florel ® sprays are key to making well-branched, quality plants. Watch for Botrytis under tight spacing and in combination plantings, especially when overhead irrigating. Monitor the media and try to keep the pH around 6.0 to avoid iron/manganese toxicity.

Florel ® can also be sprayed at 350–400 ppm early in the crop cycle, especially for larger pots and baskets, to improve branching and control growth. Bonzi ® drench (0.1 ppm) can be used at the end of production to hold and tone plants before sale. Do not spray Florel ® on stressed plants. A Bonzi ® drench (0.1 ppm) can be used at the end of production to hold and tone plants before sale.
