POINSETTIA POINTER:
“Christmas Glory is targeted for early sales of smaller containers.” – Lauren Blume
Growing On • Grows steadily once branches develop, and exhibits consistent slow growth throughout the crop until color begins. • Northern Climate: Apply chlormequat chloride spray at 500 ppm. • Southern Climate: Can use chlormequat chloride spray up to 750 ppm; daminozide/chlormequat chloride tank mixes should not be used. • Use caution, as plants are very responsive to PGR, especially paclobutrazol. 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 paclobutrazol 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 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 chlormequat chloride spray at 500 ppm.
