WAVE / PHOTOPERIODIC LIGHTING CHART

These tables will help you decide when you need to light the different Wave® Petunia family varieties and choose the right variety for you.

For example, if you want to produce Wave petunia during week 6 to week 20 in Kalamazoo, MI (N42.5 o ), you need to light group 4 varieties for 2 weeks, group 5 varieties for 6 weeks, and group 6 varieties for 8 weeks, but you don’t need to use Photoperiodic light for group 1 to 3 varieties.

A paclobutrazol sprench at 1 ppm, 1 week before plug finish, can be useful to control growth when this item is used in combination planters.

Sow 1 multi-seed pellet or multiple-sow film-coated seed with 5 to 6 seeds per cell for best performance. Note that the multi-seed pellet form requires a thick layer of vermiculite and sufficient water to dissolve the pellet at sowing; this is especially true in low humidity environments. PGRs are not generally required for plug propagation. It is recommended to incorporate a Downy Mildew preventative fungicide program for alyssum plug propagation. Multi-sowing is recommended with 5 to 6 seeds per plug cell. PGRs are not generally required for plug propagation. It is recommended to incorporate a Downy Mildew preventative fungicide program for alyssum plug propagation.

Requires dark for germination. Dibbling and burying seed into media is recommended. Seeds take a long time to germinate, so please be patient. High temperatures of 78-80°F (26-27°C) and high humidity (60-80% RH) will help with quicker and more uniform germination. Seedlings can be grown on the dry side after Stage 2 as tuberous roots develop. There is no major response to plant growth regulators. 3 pelleted seeds per cell is the recommendation. No pinch recommended. Growing cool benefits the plant structure. Gradual transition from stage 1 to 3 by providing high RH of >60% for approx. 2 weeks after radicle emergence ensures maximum useables. Use of PGRs or growing outdoors will give a much more controlled plant. Be sure to water multi-seed pellets thoroughly and give light for best germination.

Keep moisture high until the first true leaf develops.

Keep moisture high until the first true leaf develops. Once cotyledons are visible, maintain moist but not saturated media to promote root development. Avoid using ammonium nitrate during plug development, as it may inhibit root growth. A minimum 14-hour photoperiod lighting is required to avoid tuber formation and improve quality. Avoid strong sunlight (>2,000 foot-candles). Strong sunlight will cause high leaf temperature and result in burned leaf edges. Keep moisture high until the first true leaf develops.

Our best recommendation is to grow the product at daylength between 11 to 14 hours to get the most uniform product. Daylengths shorter than 11 hours or longer than 14 hours will significantly delay flowering. Too short of a daylength (10 hours or shorter) will cause non-uniform and deformed flowers. Too long of a daylength (16 hours or longer) will cause flower fasciate and leaves clustered close to top of the plant.

Don't allow media to dry out. Celosia makes a taproot and is sensitive to root damage. Transplant on time and do not allow seedlings to get rootbound.

Keep media constantly moist; do not allow to dry out. Celosia makes a taproot and is sensitive to root damage. Transplant on time and do not allow seedlings to get rootbound.

Don't allow media to dry out. Celosia makes a taproot and is sensitive to root damage. Transplant on time and do not allow seedlings to get rootbound. It is recommended growing the plugs under daylength of 14 hours or longer for later flowering.

Colour is better under cool and high light conditions. If temperature permits, it is best to produce Sirocco in outdoor conditions.

Sow uncovered at 65°F (18°C) for fastest and most uniform germination; prefers moist soil.
