Tech Tips: Hot Blooded lantana is bred for excellent branching and a relatively vigorous, mounding habit. One early pinch is all that is needed. Hot Blooded lantana has about 20–30% more vigor than typical Bandana lantana types and generally needs PGR applications to control growth. Florel ® sprays will delay flowering slightly. Mid-crop Bonzi ® drenches work well to control height. Relatively high light levels and warm temperatures are needed to produce high-quality plants. To reduce flower cycling, keep plants well-fertilized and avoid severe drought stress.

Tech Tips: Techno lobelias are relatively fast growers that have a semi-trailing habit and excellent heat tolerance. They fill containers quickly. Pinch the plant as needed for 6-inch and larger containers. Proper disinfectant should be used on all trimming tools to prevent possible virus spread. Avoid overwatering on young plants. Long days will hasten and improve flowering, especially when produced in early spring. Techno ® lobelia is best when grown cool with high light. Watch for thrips and thrips-vectored Tospoviruses (tomato spotted wilt and impatiens necrotic spot).

Provide moderate to warm temperatures early on after transplant to get the plants established. Avoid over-saturated media and overly cool temperatures. Trimming plants is the best way to control growth.
