FINISH PGRs
TECH TIPS
If grown at the recommended temperatures PGR applications should not be necessary. If needed sprays of B-Nine ® WSG at 2,500–5,000 are effective in helping control leaf size.
Avoid direct sunlight as leaf scorch may occur.
FINISH PGRs
TECH TIPS
B-Nine ® WSG at 2,500–5,000 ppm. If grown cool PGR applications are usually not necessary but under warm conditions one to three sprays of B-Nine ® WSG may be beneficial to control leaf size.
Control thrips to avoid Tospovirus.
FINISH PGRs
TECH TIPS
Since Magic Ranunculus is a genetically compact plant, plant growth regulators (PGRs) are not needed.
Control thrips to avoid Tospovirus.
FINISH PGRs
TECH TIPS
If needed to control height, spray with B-Nine ® WSG at 2,500 ppm, Bonzi ® at 5–15 ppm, or A-Rest ® at 3–10 ppm. If needed to control height when plants are starting to flower, a drench with Bonzi ® at 2–3 ppm or Sumagic ® at 0.5–1 ppm can be used without delaying flowering.
Practice a good wet/dry moisture cycle, but avoid extremes of wet and dry. Salvias are sensitive to high salts, be sure to maintain EC levels below 2.0 mS/cm (PourThru).
FINISH PGRs
TECH TIPS
If needed to control height, spray with B-Nine ® WSG at 2,500 ppm, Bonzi ® at 10–30 ppm, or A-Rest ® at 5–10 ppm.
If needed to control height when plants are starting to flower, a drench with Bonzi ® at 2–3 ppm or Sumagic ® at 0.5–1 ppm can be applied without delaying flowering. Practice a good wet/dry moisture cycle but avoid extremes of wet and dry. Salvias are sensitive to high salts, best to maintain EC levels below 2.0 mS/cm (PourThru).

TECH TIPS
If needed to control height, spray with B-Nine ® WSG at 2,500 ppm, Bonzi ® at 10–30 ppm, or A-Rest ® at 5–10 ppm. If needed, to control height when plants are starting to flower, a drench with Bonzi ® at 2–3 ppm or Sumagic ® at 0.5–-1 ppm can be used without delaying flowering.
Practice a good wet/dry moisture cycle but avoid extremes of wet and dry. Salvias are sensitive to high salts, so maintain EC levels below 2.0 mS/cm (PourThru).

FINISH PGRs
TECH TIPS
B-Nine ® WSG at 1,500–3,000 ppm if needed.
Keep under short days for 2 weeks after transplant to allow plants to bulk, then extend the day length to 14 hours to induce flowering. Keep plants on the dry side to avoid soft growth that is prone to Botrytis and soft rots. Highly sensitive to Tospoviruses (INSV and TSWV), so it is imperative to control thrips.
FINISH PGRs
TECH TIPS
B-Nine ® WSG at 5,000 ppm if needed.
Stretched plugs can be buried (up to the cotyledons) if necessary. Maintain media pH above 6.2 to avoid iron/ manganese toxicity. Short days will shorten time to flower.
