| Pests: | Aphids are the number one pest for this crop, but spider mites and whíteflies can also be present during production. Scout for thrips as flowers develop. |
| Diseases: | Powdery mildew can be an issue during the cool crop production, so keep humidity levels low in the greenhouse. A preventive drench with Subdue MAXX and Cleary’s every eight weeks will prevent root rot. |

Plus Senetti has a unique reblooming ability and can be cut back for a fresh flush of flowers.

For rooting, use a disease-free peat mix, or Jiffy pellets.
FLOWERING: 8-12 weeks, depending on growing conditions and variety.
Early: Torenia Purple Moon, Indigo Moon.
GROWTH REGULATORS: Maintain high light intensities and temperatures as recommended. Use cool morning drop and DIF. Soft pinch. Reduce feed.
Avoid products that have high levels of ammonium nitrogen or phosphorus. Space in time.
Use growth regulators as last option – use Alar at a concentration of 1700-2500 ppm as a foliar spray, 1-3 times.
Begin growth regulator treatment 2-4 weeks after transplant and discontinue when flowering buds are visible.
Expect delay in flowering. Varieties differ in response, so we recommend testing it first on a smaller scale.
DISEASES & PEST CONTROL:
Insects: Watch for Aphids and White Flies.
Diseases: Powdery mildew can be a problem.
Avoid moisture condensing on the foliage.
Spray with broad-spectrum fungicides as a preventative measure.
Crop Timing:
4″ to 4.5″ pot = 7-9 wks (1 RC)
6″ or gallon = 9-10 wks (2-3 RC)
Light Levels: high
pH Level: 5.6 – 6.3
Temperature: 65-76º F day & 58-65º F night
Watering: keep pots evenly moist
Fertilizer: 200-250 ppm nitrogen
Pinching: 1-2 pinches or more as needed
Pests: Standard practices; watch for white flies
Disease: Standard practices
Crop Timing:
4″ to 4.5″ pot =6-7 wks (1 RC)
6″ or gallon =7-8 wks (2-3 RC)
Light Levels: high
pH Level: 5.5 – 5.8
Temperature: 65-72º F day & 60-65º F night
Watering: keep pots evenly moist
Fertilizer: 200 ppm nitrogen
Pinching: 1 pinch or more as needed
Pests: Standard practices; watch for aphids
Disease: Standard practices
Light Levels: Full sun to part shade
Foot candles: 5000-7500
Day temperature: 72° to 85°F (24° to 2°C)
Night temperature: 60° to 75°F (16° to 24°C)
Watering: Do not over-water. Echeveria favor dry conditions once roots are well established. Allow soil to dry completely between irrigation.
Media: Use well-drained soil mix. EC = 0.6 to 0.8 in peat with sand/perlite mix.
Ph: 5.6 – 6.0
Fertilizer: 75-125 ppm nitrogen
Pinching: Not necessary.
Pests: Standard practices. Pests to watch for are aphids, mealybugs and spider mites
Disease: Keeping the plants dry will emiminate much of the potential for disease.
Succulents are sensitive to pesticides & fungicides. Trial applications on smaller groups of plants before are recommended.
