Tech Tips: Calliope Medium geraniums are moderately vigorous and may require regular PGR applications, especially under warm growing conditions. Provide relatively high light levels and warm temperatures early on to establish the plant and to allow it to respond adequately to PGRs. Early Florel ® sprays are key to making well-branched, quality plants. Watch for Botrytis under tight spacing and in combination plantings, especially when overhead irrigating. Monitor the media and try to keep the pH around 6.0 to avoid iron/manganese toxicity.

Tech Tips: Mojo is moderately vigorous and may require regular PGR applications, especially under warm growing conditions. Provide relatively high light levels and warm temperatures early on to establish the plant and to allow it to respond adequatly to PGRs. Early Florel ® sprays are key to making well-branched, quality plants. Watch for Botrytis under tight spacing and in combination plantings, especially when overhead irrigating. Monitor the media and try to keep the pH at or above 6.0 to avoid iron/manganese toxicity.

Tech Tips: Moxie! interspecific geraniums are relatively compact and should not require repeated PGR applications. Provide relatively high light levels and warm temperatures early on to establish the plant and to allow it to respond adequately to PGRs. Early Florel ® sprays are key to making well-branched, quality plants. Watch for Botrytis under tight spacing and in combination plantings, especially when overhead irrigating. Monitor the media and try to keep the pH at around 6.0 to avoid iron/manganese toxicity.

Tech Tips: Pretty Little interspecific geranium is very compact and should require minimal, if any, PGR applications. Provide relatively high light levels and warm temperatures early on to establish the plant and to allow it to respond adequately to PGRs. Early Florel ® sprays are key to making well-branched, quality plants and delaying very early flowering. Watch for Botrytis under tight spacing and in combination plantings, especially when overhead irrigating. Monitor the media and try to keep the pH at around 6.0 to avoid iron/manganese toxicity.
