M E Tech Tips: Transplant plugs on time since they can get quickly overgrown and root into other cells when left in plug trays for too long. A Bonzi® drench applied about 4 weeks before finishing is key to producing compact, mounded baskets and containers. Scout regularly for insects, especially Thrips (which can transmit Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus - TSWV). Don’t let verbenas get extremely dry since this can cause leaf chlorosis, leaf necrosis, and loss (shattering) of flowers. Verbenas can be grown on the cool side to help control growth.
