Crop Timing • 4-inch pots – four to five weeks with one liner and one pinch • 6-inch pots – six to eight weeks with one liner and one pinch • 10-inch baskets – 10-12 weeks with three lin- ers and one pinch Temperature Maintain day temperatures between 72-80°F and night temperatures between 55-65°F Feeding Keep pH between 6.5-7.0. Use a constant feed of a complete water soluble fertilizer, 100-150 ppm. Fertilizer is not recommended during the first three weeks of propagation, but after three weeks, a general liquid feed can be used. Slow-release fertilizer can be applied 1-2 weeks after potting. Alternate between watering with liquid feed and clear water. For instance, fertilize Monday, Wednesday and Friday and use clear water on Tuesday and Thursday.

Growth Regulators If needed, use B-Nine at 2500 ppm.

Pests & Diseases Monitor plants for whiteflies, Western Flower Thrips and botrytis. Drench plants with a preventative fungicide at the time of sticking cuttings. Prevent rot by keeping plants on the dry side, especially during wet, cloudy weather. Do not over water.
