105-cell (30 mm) or larger
URC
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 rehydrate the cuttings. Misting should be significantly reduced after 3–4 days and after cuttings become fully hydrated.
Not recommended
3.5–4 weeks 70–74 °F (21–23 °C)
Comments: To control growth, sprays of Bonzi ® (1–2 ppm) are generally used. Growers can also spray Florel ® (250–300 ppm) at 1–2 days after sticking unrooted cuttings to reduce premature flower bud development and help provide more uniform (but delayed) flowering during finishing. This is a good strategy for baskets or large patio pots where early flowering is not desired.

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 rehydrate the cuttings. Misting should be significantly reduced after 3–4 days and after cuttings become fully hydrated.
Not recommended
3.5–4 weeks 70–74 °F (21–23 °C)
Comments: To control growth, sprays of Bonzi ® (5 ppm) can be applied. Growers can also try a combo spray of Florel ® (350 ppm) + B-Nine ® WSG (1,500 ppm) to control growth and improve branching. Silhouette Impatiens are fast rooters and will be ready to transplant from propagation relatively quickly. Unrooted cuttings are sensitive to chilling, so avoid storing cuttings <50°F (10 °C). Subdue Maxx ® and/or Segway ® drenches are recommended plug stage fungicides for disease management.

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 rehydrate the cuttings. Misting should be significantly reduced after 3–4 days and after cuttings become fully hydrated.
Recommended 3.5–4 weeks 70–74 °F (21–23 °C)
Comments: The use of plant growth regulators (PGRs) is generally not needed in propagation. Stick unrooted cuttings immediately to prevent dehydration. Plants are sensitive to chilling, so avoid storing cuttings <50 °F (10 °C).

Comments: To control growth after rooting, sprays of B-Nine ® WSG (1,500–2,500 ppm) is sufficient. A tank-mix spray of Florel ® (350 ppm) + B-Nine ® WSG (2,500–3,500 ppm) can also be used to control growth and 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 plant growth regulator (PGR) to absorb into the leaf tissue.
