NEW Christmas Beauty™ Prince
“Christmas Beauty Red has an excellent red color that is very resistant to fading. It can be held cool, but pay attention to the humidity and avoid dew point to prevent Botrytis .” – Lauren Blume
POINSETTIA POINTER:
culture that works CULTURE THAT WORKS Propagation • Plant from liner at 22-24 days.
Growing On • Grows steadily once branches develop, and exhibits consistent, moderate growth throughout the crop until color begins. • Northern Climate: Apply Cycocel spray at 500 ppm. • Southern Climate: Can use Cycocel spray up to 1,000 ppm; use 1-2 applications of B-Nine (1,000 ppm)/Cycocel (500 ppm) before September 20. • Apply later Cycocel sprays at 500-750 ppm. • Micro Bonzi drenches can begin in early October. 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 .
• Apply rooting hormone at the base of cutting. • Start feed program at day 7 to prevent yellowing. • May not require PGR application in propagation. • Will branch very early based on leaf maturity, not just pinch. • 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. • Plant produces a branch at every node. • Apply light PGR when branches are 1-1.5 in. (2.5-4 cm). • Apply Cycocel spray at 500 ppm to even out branches.
