» High light required for production.
» Pinching is not needed. PGRs are generally not necessary, but Sumagic ®
is effective if needed. Florel ® should not be used because it causes
yellowing of the foliage. Check manufacturer’s labels for approved rates
and usage recommendations.
» When holding cool, be sure to maintain temperatures above 50° F to
avoid leaf drop.
» Grow on the dry side to help naturally control growth.
» Watch for aphids and white flies.
