Tech Tips: Madinia dipladenia has a controlled growth habit and bred for improved branching. An early pinch (either in propagation or shortly after transplant) will encourage branching. High light and warm temperatures will improve quality and help reduce crop times. Higher light intensities and longer photoperiods help reduce the natural vining of the plants.

Pelargonium interspecific Geranium Interspecific CALDERA ™ MEDIA pH/EC LIGHT LEVEL DAY LENGTH DAY TEMP NIGHT TEMP FERTILIZER PINCHES FINISHING PROGRAM pH: 5.5–5.9 SME 2.3–2.8 mS/cm, PourThru EC: 3.5–4.2 mS/cm 800–1,200 µmol·m -2 ·s -1 Day neutral 72–74 °F (22–23 °C) 68–70 °F (20–21 °C) 200–250 ppm N Not recommended 2.5 qt. | 1 ppp | 10–12 weeks 3 qt. | 2–3 ppp | 11–12 weeks
1.5 gal. HB | 3–4 ppp | 11–12 weeks 2 gal. HB | 4–5 ppp | 12–13 weeks
Tech Tips: Caldera is vigorous and requires regular PGR applications, especially under warm growing conditions. Provide relatively high light levels and warm temperatures early on to establish the crop. Early Florel ® sprays are key in making well-branched, quality plants. Watch for Botrytis under tight spacing and in combination plantings, especially when overhead irrigating. Monitor the media and try to keep the pH between 5.5–5.9 to avoid iron deficiency (tip chlorosis).
