Tech Tips: Keep the pH down in the mid 5.0’s to avoid tip yellowing—drench with iron chelate if necessary. Avoid overwatering of young plants. Plants can be pinched twice on baskets and larger containers (once in prop, once after transplant). An early Florel ® or Florel ® + B-Nine ® WSG spray improves branching. Mid-season Bonzi ® drenches are the key to beautiful mounded baskets. Watch for Aphids. High DLIs and moderate-to-cool finishing temperatures produce high-quality calibrachoas. Cabrio Calibrachoa is bred and selected to flower under day lengths of 10.5 hours. Use proper sanitation when pinching or shearing calibrachoa to prevent possible virus spread.
