Tech Tips: Avoid keeping plants too wet and cold early on after transplant, which can result in root rot and tip chlorosis (iron deficiency), especially in large baskets and containers. High DLIs and cool finishing temperatures produce high-quality bacopa. Plants can be pinched twice for baskets and large containers, which results in full, uniform plants. Monitor media pH and EC closely and avoid high EC levels to prevent damage roots. Do not let plants get extremely dry which results in necrotic foliage and root loss.

Tech Tips: Transplant liners on time since they can get quickly overgrown and root into other cells when left in plug trays for too long. A Bonzi ® drench applied about 4 weeks before finishing is key to producing compact, mounded baskets and containers. Scout regularly for insects, especially thrips (which can transmit Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus—TSWV). Don’t let verbenas get extremely dry since this can cause leaf chlorosis, leaf necrosis, and loss (shattering) of flowers. Verbenas can be grown on the cool side to help control growth.
