Potting and spacing
Size of pot: 10.5 - 12 cm: weeks 5 - 9; 30 - 35 pots per sqm
Baskets: weeks 1-4; 5 plants per basket
Growing medium
P-Erde or T-Erde with clay and good structural stability, pH 5.5 – 6.0
Feeding
Average requirements
Temperature
14 °C after full rooting
Cool Morning
React very positively to Cool Morning with compact growth, start to use when the side shoots have reached the rim of the pot.
Watering
Keep evenly moist, avoid build-up of stagnant water, do not allow to become dry.
Pinching
Down to 2 - 3 pairs of leaves one week after potting
Retardants
Hardly necessary, particularly if Cool Morning is being used. If necessary spray with 0.025 - 0.05% of Topflor when selling size has been reached. Attention: Only slightly moisten the plants!
Light
Need a lot of light, provision of shade delays flowering and causes undesirable elongated growth.
P&D control
Watch out for root disease caused by stagnant water!
