Relatively high feeder. Use long day (15 hours or longer) or night interruption to finish early pottings or use vernalised plugs. Prevent Mg and Fe deficiency. Monitor for Botrytis and downy mildew. High light and good ventilation are beneficial. PGR advice as follows: best effect with uniconazole 2x 15 ppm spray; another PGR option is a tank mix of daminozide 2,500 ppm/chlormequat chloride 750 ppm 3x spray. Possible foliage issues can occur on new growth leaves (puckering, cup up, tip marginal burning) during flower induction period because of more difficult mineral transport during this developmental stage. There is no good fertilisation correction possible, only maintain as low an RH as possible with optimal ventilation to have optimal plant transport of elements. The foliage issue will mostly have disappeared at flowering sales stage. For Autumn forcing info: See Perennials Forcing Guide. Grow relatively dry. Avoid leaf yellowing caused by high pH (Fe) and/or low N when generative. Spray weekly with Bittersalt MGSO4 1g/liter. Monitor for Spider Mites, Rhizoctonia, Leafspot and Root Rot. Wet after transplant with preventive spray. Grow relatively dry. Use well-drained medium. Prevent Mg and Fe deficiency. Monitor for Botrytis, Downy Mildew, Aphids and Spider Mites. High light and good ventilation are beneficial. Salvatore Blue needs a little higher fertilisation level than New Dimension Blue, per the Target Media EC. With Salvia nemorosa, leaf yellowing can occur, especially once turning generative. Keep up fertilisation and use iron leaf fertilisation, avoiding too high of a pH. Grow relatively dry and provide an active climate. Salvatore Blue can show black spots on the leaves; this is not disease, nor does it indicate damage. Due to the dark colour of Salvatore Blue, these spots are accumulations of the colour compound that will be dissimilated in better growing conditions. Needs high light, low RH. Grow relatively dry. Prevent Mg and Fe deficiency. Early-Spring forcing needs increased temperature during 6 weeks at 62 to 65°F (17 to 18°C), no long days. For forcing info for Mother's Day: See Perennials Forcing Guide.
