Rooting hormone will even out rooting. Night interruption or extended day will help prevent tuber formation in short day seasons. Begin feed regimen as soon as roots are present to keep plant herbaceous. When propagating in short day season, give long days during liner growing. Keep very moist for the first 7 days, then reduce mist to avoid saturated media.

All recommendations are made to the best of our knowledge. We cannot accept any responsibility for the correctness of this information in unique situations. Please pay attention to product labels and test chemicals or new treatments first before applying large scale.
1 PGR applications during rooting: Sprays only. Cover the plants and avoid run- off as much as possible. For vigorous products, first application should be done about 7-10 days after sticking, second when needed. Please test before use.
