Cycocel ® at 750–1,000 ppm and under hot conditions with a tank mix spray of Cycocel ® (1,000 ppm) + B-Nine ® WSG (2,500 ppm), or Bonzi ® spray (2–3 ppm). 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. Do not spray Florel ® on stressed plants. A very low rate of Bonzi ® drench (0.05 ppm) can be used at the end of production to hold and tone plants before sale.

C E-M Tech Tips: Moxie! interspecific geraniums are relatively compact and should not require repeated PGR applications. 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 at around 6.0 to avoid iron/manganese toxicity.

Tech Tips: Pretty Little interspecific geranium is very compact and should require minimal, if any, PGR applications. 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 and delaying very early flowering. Watch for Botrytis under tight spacing and in combination plantings, especially when overhead irrigating. Monitor the media and try to keep the pH at around 6.0 to avoid iron/manganese toxicity.

M Tech Tips: Blizzard Ivy Geranium is relatively vigorous and will 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 between 5.5–6.0 to avoid iron deficiency (tip chlorosis).
