POINSETTIA POINTER:
“Christmas Glory is a series that is specifically targeted for early sales of smaller containers and should be shipped when ready.” – Lauren Blume
Growing On • Grows steadily once branches develop, and exhibits consistent slow growth throughout the crop until color begins. • Northern Climate: Apply Cycocel spray at 500 ppm. • Southern Climate: Can use Cycocel spray up to 750 ppm; B-Nine/ Cycocel tank mixes should not be used. • Use caution, as plants are very responsive to PGR, especially Bonzi. Late Growing Stages • Requires continuous feed until finish. • Reduce feed levels if media EC increases too rapidly. • High EC at finish can result in root damage, reduced shelf life and possible Pythium . • A Bonzi application (1 ppm drench, or 5 ppm spray) can be applied at the very end of the crop at first pollen shed to increase shelf life and retain the cyathia. •
CULTURE THAT WORKS
Propagation • Plant from liner at 22-24 days.
• Apply rooting hormone at the base of cutting. • Start feed program at day 7 to prevent yellowing. • May not require PGR application in propagation. • Plant into finished container when well rooted. Early Finished Growth
• Pinch early: at day 14-16 from a liner; at day 24-26 for direct stick. • Apply light PGR when branches are 1-1.5 in. (2.5-4 cm) using Cycocel spray at 500 ppm.
