Needs an active growing climate, grow on dry side, with higher light levels. Best to grow indoors, if you have frequent rain. Apply low to moderate fertilisation and moderate irrigation. Let well-drained media dry between watering. Cannot stand wet conditions; will result in stem and root rot. The bracts will develop much deeper purple colour when plants are exposed to high light (12 to 15 mol·m¯²·d¯¹) and cool night conditions (lower than 50°F/10°C). If you have dry climate, grow outside for deepest purple bract colour. Kirigami reacts well to daminozide, and it should be used at lower concentrations with multiple applications to avoid stunting. Avoid using daminozide once colour is starting on the bracts, to prevent bleaching. With its versatile use, there is no specific number of PGR applications. It is easy to mold to your desired look or container size. Supplemental lighting will reduce days to flower. Plants grown under high light and cool conditions may not require PGRs. If needed, apply daminozide/chlormequat chloride 2,500/500 ppm tank mix 2 weeks after transplant. Alternatively, flurprimidol at 10 to 15 ppm spray applied once after transplant will give adequate control.

Adjust PGR rates and frequency of application depending on local conditions. If growing frost-free (northern overwinter culture from Autumn transplant), plan for crop times of 16 to 18 weeks from transplant to finish. For maximum ruffled edge, schedule for late Autumn, Winter and Spring programs. Heat reduces the ruffled edge and colour contrast.
