GROWING TIPS
» The HIPPO ® series prefers warmer production temperatures, avoid chilling.
» B-Nine ® may be used at 1,500-2,500 ppm 2 weeks after transplant. Bonzi ®
is also effective. Check manufacturer’s labels for approved rates and usage
recommendations.
» Good air circulation, control of humidity, and good sanitation practices are
critical. Good sanitation practices include keeping greenhouses clean at all times,
eliminating weeds and debris, disinfecting equipment and greenhouses as often as
possible, and keeping hose ends off the floor.
» Treat with preventative broad spectrum fungicidal drench at 1-2 weeks after transplant.
» Do not use irrigation frequency to control plant size - drying out plant to wilt will
cause leaf burn and leaf drop. Can be run a little dry but not to wilt.
