Plant Growth Regulators (S=spray / D=Drench): Use daminozide(S) 2,500-5,000 ppm, paclobutrazol(D) 3-8 ppm or ethephon(S) 300-500 ppm applied 1 time up to 3 times for large baskets to maintain habit as needed.

Pests: Thrips, aphids, leafminers

Diseases: Root rot

Finishing Comments: Cooler air temperatures and high light will reduce or eliminate any need for plant growth regulators. Maintain pH at 5.2-5.8 to optimize plant health. Crop times will be shortest as days lengthen in Spring. Apply preventative broad-spectrum fungicide drench early (7-10 days after transplant). Avoid saturated media and excessive feed levels.
