Plectranthus scutellariodes Coleus TALAVERA ™ REC TRAY PRODUCT FORM ROOTING HORMONE MIST TIME
PINCH
PROP TIME BOTTOM HEAT
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 in rehydration of the cuttings. Misting should be significantly reduced after 3–4 days and after cuttings become fully hydrated.
Optional
3–4 weeks
Not necessary
Comments: Florel ® sprays can be used in substitution for a pinch, sprayed at rates between 300–500 ppm. To control height, B-Nine ® WSG sprays can be used to reduce stem elongation applied at rates of 1,500–2,500 ppm.
Scaevola aemula Scaevola BOMBAY ® REC TRAY PRODUCT FORM ROOTING HORMONE MIST TIME
PINCH
PROP TIME BOTTOM HEAT
105-cell (30 mm) or larger
URC, CC, AutoStix ®
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 2–3 days and after cuttings become fully hydrated.
Recommended 4.5–5 weeks 72–74 °F (22–23 °C)
Comments: Bombay Scaevola is typically slow rooting during propagation, especially Bombay Blue. Do not reduce mist too soon and continue to provide misting until all cuttings are rooted. To control growth after rooting, sprays of B-Nine ® WSG (1,500–2,500 ppm) are usually sufficient. A tank-mix spray of Florel ® (350–500 ppm) + B-Nine ® WSG (1,500 ppm) can also be used to control growth and improve branching. Do not spray Florel ® 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.
Sutera cordata Bacopa CALYPSO ™ REC TRAY PRODUCT FORM ROOTING HORMONE MIST TIME
PINCH
PROP TIME BOTTOM HEAT
105-cell (30 mm) or larger
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 rehydrate the cuttings. Misting should be significantly reduced after 2–3 days and after cuttings become fully hydrated.
Recommended 3.5–4 weeks 70–74 °F (21–23 °C)
Comments: Calypso Bacopa has moderate vigor and will generally need a plant growth regulator (PGR) treatment in propagation. To control growth after rooting, a spray of B-Nine ® WSG (1,500 ppm) is sufficient. A tank-mix spray of Florel ® (350–500 ppm) + B-Nine ® WSG (1,500 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. Calypso Bacopa should be pinched during propagation, which results in a well-branched, mounded plug.
Verbena hybrida Verbena LANAI ® REC TRAY PRODUCT FORM ROOTING HORMONE MIST TIME
PINCH
PROP TIME BOTTOM HEAT
105-cell (30 mm) or larger

Recommended 3–3.5 weeks 70–74 °F (21–23 °C)
Comments: Lanai Verbena has a range of vigor, with most varieties having medium to medium–vigorous growth habits. To control growth after rooting, sprays of B-Nine ® WSG (2,500 ppm) are usually sufficient. A tank-mix spray of Florel ® (350 ppm) + B-Nine ® WSG (1,500–2,500 ppm) can also be used to control growth and improve branching. Do not spray Florel ® 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.

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 rehydrate the cuttings. Misting should be significantly reduced after 2–3 days and after cuttings become fully hydrated.
Recommended 3–3.5 weeks 70–74 °F (21–23 °C)
Comments: Lanai Compact Verbena has compact-medium vigor and should require only moderate amounts of chemical growth retardants in propagation. To control growth after rooting, sprays of B-Nine ® WSG (1,500–2,500 ppm) are usually sufficient. A tank-mix spray of Florel ® (350 ppm) + B-Nine ® WSG (1,500 ppm) can also be used to control growth and improve branching. Do not spray Florel ® 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.
