B-Nine ® WSG (2500–3500 ppm) + Cycocel ® (1000 ppm), Sumagic ® (15–20 ppm), or Bonzi ® (20–30 ppm) can be used. Sprays of Florel ® (350–500 ppm) or a tank-mix spray of Florel ® (350–500 ppm) + B-Nine ® WSG (2500–3500 ppm) can also be used early on to control growth and improve branching. Florel ® applications will delay flowering slightly. Bonzi ® drenches (2–4 ppm) also work well. Hot Blooded is relatively vigorous and may need regular chemical growth control.

No significant disease issues
Tech Tips: Hot Blooded is bred for excellent branching and a relatively vigorous, mounding habit. One early pinch is all that is needed. Hot Blooded has about 20–30% more vigor than typical Bandana ® types and generally needs PGR applications to control growth. Florel ® sprays will delay flowering slightly. Mid-crop Bonzi ® drenches work well to control height. Relatively high light levels and warm temperatures are needed to produce high quality plants. To reduce flower cycling, keep plants well-fertilized and avoid severe drought stress.

Lavender are extremely sensitive to over-misting. Consider using a ReeMay ® tent over the propagation trays to keep the humidity high thereby decreasing the chance for over-misting. Remove the tent once the cuttings are showing roots. If necessary, spray B-Nine ® WSG at 1,500 – 2,000 ppm to control stretch after the cuttings are rooted.

Tech Tips: A short cold treatment for 3–4 weeks at 50–55 °F (10–13 °C) is recommended to increase flowering uniformity. Bulk plants after transplanting before cooling period for best plant fill and habit.

Does not require any chemical growth regulation. If plants get too large for their container, then it’s best to trim the plants back to control growth. Pinching is the best method to control growth on Helichrysum petiolare.

Microphyllum Mini Silver 70003686
Silver 70003669 M Tech Tips: Helichrysum petiolare (Licorice Plant) is a semi-trailing plant that has low water and fertilizer requirements. Use plastic tenting or ReeMay ® fabric during propagation if needed to keep high humidity and to minimize excess water on the foliage. Provide moderate to warm temperatures early on after transplant to get the plants established. Avoid over-saturated media and overly cool temperatures. Helichrysum petiolare may form golden yellow flowers on very mature plants, but its main value is its unique silver-colored foliage. Trimming plants is the best way to control growth. Syngenta Flowers sells three different Helichrysum petiolare varieties (Limelight, Microphyllum Mini Silver, Silver) and all can be propagated and grown very similarly.
