A soft pinch will promote branching. Pinch about 2 weeks after transplant, leaving 4-5 nodes. Do not pinch too hard, as it may result in an undesirable habit.

Impatiens will respond to daminozide, paclobutrazol and uniconazol. Monitoring of water and fertilisation can help with controlling plant growth and vigour. Temperature Recommendations: Minimum: 60°F/16°C • Maximum: 85°F/29°C Lowering ADT by 2°F/1°C will delay flowering by 2 to 4 days, with an even longer delay at cooler ADTs. Moisture Recommendations: Plants are well controlled with water and fertilisation management; growing dry with less to no PGRs results in plants that are faster to establish in the garden. PGR Recommendations: 10 to 14 days after transplant to finish container, repeating as needed. Avoid over-application of PGRs, as this may result in plant stunting or slow growing-on. If growing in dry conditions, the lowest rates of PGRs are recommended. Solarscape Magenta Bliss, Orange Burst, Salmon Punch, White Shimmer and White Pearl: paclobutrazol 0.25 ppm drench OR paclobutrazol 5-10 ppm spray. Temperature Recommendations: Minimum: 60°F/16°C • Maximum: 85°F/29°C Lowering ADT by 2°F/1°C will delay flowering by 2 to 4 days, with an even longer delay at cooler ADTs.

If growing in dry conditions, the lowest rates of PGRs are recommended. Salmon Glow recommendations: paclobutrazol 0.5 ppm drench OR paclobutrazol 10 ppm spray. Prefers to grow in cooler conditions. Warmer temperatures above 70°F (21°C) could delay or inhibit flowering. Lighting plants when days are shorter than 12 hours speeds flowering. Light shading helps to produce a better crop when plants are growing under hot weather and long days in late Spring. Lobelias flower more freely when daylength is longer than 12 hours. Lighting plants when days are shorter than 12 hours speeds flowering. Light shading helps to produce a better crop when plants are growing under hot weather and long days in late Spring. Lobelias flower more freely when daylength is longer than 12 hours. Lighting plants when days are shorter than 12 hours speeds flowering. Light shading helps to produce a better crop when plants are growing under hot weather and long days in late Spring. Maintain soil pH of 6.2 to 6.8 to avoid iron toxicity. Plant Growth Regulators: PGRs are not required when grown under short days, since plants will finish naturally shorter. Treat with PGRs when grown under long days. Daminozide at 5,000 ppm applied twice as a foliar spray can control the plant growth. In northwestern Europe, use daminozide at 1,300 to 2,000 ppm. Maintain soil pH of 6.2 to 6.5 to avoid iron toxicity. Plant Growth Regulators: PGRs are not required when grown under short days, since plants will finish naturally shorter.
