Techno lobelias have moderate vigor and might need chemical growth regulation, especially if grown under warmer temperatures. Sprays of B-Nine ® WSG (2,500 ppm) and Sumagic ® (2–4 ppm) can be applied to control growth. Drenches of Bonzi ® (1–2 ppm) work well mid to late in the production cycle.

Techno ® White 70019818 C-M E Tech Tips: Avoid dehydration of the cuttings before sticking in propagation. Techno lobelias are relatively fast growers that have a semi-trailing habit and excellent heat tolerance. They fill containers quickly. Pinch the plant as needed for 6–inch and larger containers. Use proper disinfectant should be used on all trimming tools to prevent possible virus spread. Avoid overwatering on young plants. Long days will hasten and improve flowering, especially when produced in early spring. Techno is best when grown cool with high light. Watch for Thrips and Thrips-vectored tospoViruses (tomato spotted wilt and impatiens necrotic spot).

Tech Tips: Lysimachia Goldii is a trailing plant that has a medium growth habit and is grown for its attractive gold-colored foliage. Provide moderate to warm temperatures early on after transplant to get the plants estab- lished. Avoid over-saturated media and overly cool temperatures. Trimming plants is the best way to control growth.
