Sowing / germination stage #1.

• Suggested tray size – 128―288 cell.

• Seed – place 1 seed per cell. • Do I need to cover the seed?

✓ Yes, but…

✓ …only thin layer

✓ Light is required for germination.

Light for germination

• Germination chamber – not recommended .

Substrate #1.

Avoid decomposed plant residuals for Cleome.

• Suitable substrate components: peat > cocopeat > wood fiber peat. With particle size 0―10 mm.

• Don’t apply rice husk and composts for the Cleome seedlings.

• Leavening agent: perlite > sand > zeolite.

Only thin cover

Fertigation tips #1.

Feed your Cleome seedlings properly.

• Provide 125―175 ppm of nitrogen (N). • You can provide proper amount of N by 0.7(0.8)―1.2 g/l of 18-5-18, 15-3-15 or similar. • Optimal EC in the water 1.5―2.0 • Optimal EC in the substrate (SME*): 0.9―1.3 mS/cm. • Start to fertigate since the second week. • Never apply clean water!

Feed Cleome well.

• Substrate and water pH: 5.5―5.9

Leave aberration (after the low EC).

Substrate for the ready plants. • Available substrate components: cocopeat > wood fiber peat > rice husk > natural soil > compost. How to choose suitable substrate components? • Feel free to use any kind of substrate components if they are providing... Proper pH level 5.5―5.9 , ✓ Hygienic conditions, 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

✓ Aerated enough, ✓ Check sodium!!!

• Use a mixture: 50/50 peat + cocopeat or 50/50 cocopeat + rice husk. • Particle size 5―20 mm.

pH < 5.8.

• Add 20 % leavening agent: perlite > coco chips > sand > zeolite > vermiculite

Transplanting time.

What is the proper stage for the Cleome?

Which the pot size and how many plants?

3―5 leaves is the best stage*.

Cleome transplanted into the patio pot.

* Young plant production takes about 4―5 weeks.

Cleome fertigation tips #1 (vegetative).

• Provide 200―250 ppm of nitrogen.

• Do not use too much phosphorus! • You can provide proper amount of N by 1.3―1.7 g/l : 15-5-15, 18-5-19, 18-5-20. • Give fertilizers with every watering (EC water : 2.2―2.5(3.0). • Optimal EC in the substrate (SME*): 2.3―2.8 mS/cm.

• pH range: 5.5―5.9
