URC, AutoStix ®
Not Recommended
CapSil ® (spray adjuvant) can be sprayed on the cuttings at a rate of 2–4 oz/100 gal within 1–2 days after sticking to help in rehydration of the cuttings. Misting should be significantly reduced after 2–3 days and after cuttings become fully hydrated.
Recommended 3.5–4 Weeks 72–74 °F (22–23 °C)
Comments: Carita has moderate vigor and will generally need a PGR treatment in propagation. To control growth after rooting, sprays of B-Nine ® WSG (1,500 ppm), or a tank-mix spray of Cycocel ® (1,000 ppm) + B-Nine ® WSG (1,500 ppm) are sufficient. Do not spray Florel ® on angelonias since this can burn foliage and cause significant flower delay. 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.

To control growth after rooting, sprays of B-Nine ® WSG (1,500 ppm) or a tank-mix spray of Cycocel ® (1,000 ppm) + B-Nine ® (1,500 ppm) are normally sufficient. Do not spray Florel ® on angelonia since this can burn foliage and cause significant flower delay. 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.

To control growth after rooting, A tank-mix spray of Cycocel ® (1,000 ppm) + B-Nine ® WSG (2,500 ppm) is normally sufficient. It is also becoming popular for growers to combine Florel ® at 350–500 ppm with the B-Nine ® WSG solution listed above to increase growth control and to improve branching. These Florel ® + B-Nine ® WSG combo sprays should be applied to actively growing plants. Do not spray B-Nine ® WSG or Florel ® + B-Nine ® WSG tank mixes 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.
