Tech Tips: Ideal photoperiod during finishing to provide the correct balance between vegetative growth and flower formation is between 13–14 hours. Growing under very short natural days (< 12 hours) will result in short plants, fast flowering, and root tubers. Provide warm temperatures early on in finishing to allow plants to establish after transplant. Plant the rooting cutting relatively deep to provide good support and balance in the pot for the maturing plants. Scout and treat for a range of insects and diseases, including Spider mites, Thrips, and Powdery mildew.

Growing under very short natural days (< 12 hours) will result in short plants, fast flowering, and root tubers. Provide warm temperatures early on in finishing to allow plants to establish after transplant. Sincerity Dahlia grows best under moderately warm temperatures. Avoid extreme heat stress, especially under relatively high light intensities. Plant the rooting cutting relatively deep to provide good support and balance in the pot for the maturing plants.

Diascia barberae Diascia DARLA ® MEDIA pH/EC LIGHT LEVEL DAY LENGTH DAY TEMP NIGHT TEMP FERTILIZER PINCHES FINISHING PROGRAM pH: 5.8–6.2 SME 1.5–2.1 mS/cm, PourThru EC: 2.3–3.2 mS/cm 800–1,200 µmol·m -2 ·s -1 Day neutral 70–72 °F (21–22 °C) 62–64 °F (17–18 °C) 200–250 ppm N 1 pinch 1 pt. | 1 ppp | 6 weeks 1 qt. | 1 ppp | 6–7 weeks 1.5 gal. HB | 4 ppp | 10–11 weeks 2 gal. HB | 5 ppp | 10–11 weeks Tech Tips: Darla Diascia is best when grown cool with high light. No plant growth regulator (PGR) is typically needed when plants are grown cool. One pinch is all that is needed for this crop. Florel ® can be used early but will severely delay flowering if sprayed too late in the crop cycle. Watch for Botrytis in the crown of plants when overhead watering. 1.5 gal. pot | 3 ppp | 9–10 weeks 2 gal. HB | 4 ppp | 10–11 weeks 3 gal.
