3-3.5 Weeks 70-74 °F (21-23 °C)

Recommended

Comments: Sanguna has good vigor and generally will need chemical growth regulation in propagation. To control growth after rooting, sprays of B-Nine ® WSG(2,500-3,500 ppm) are usually sufficient. A tank-mix spray of Florel ® (350 ppm) + B-Nine ® WSG (2,500 ppm) can also be used to control growth and improve branching. Do not spray Florel ® on stressed or weak cuttings. For all sprays listed above, the mist should be off for a minimum of one hour for the PGR to absorb into the leaf tissue.
