In the heat of Autumn production, a paclobutrazol drench of 0.1 to 0.125 ppm can be used once foliage is covering soil. Consult Cool Wave Production Handbook for more detailed information on scheduling for Autumn and Spring programs and variety-specific PGR information.

High light levels and temperatures will reduce crop time. Pentas will naturally decrease pH levels in the soil and regular monitoring is necessary. Plants that have pH below 6.4 will slow growth, delay flowering, exhibit signs of iron toxicity (foliar necrosis) and calcium/ magnesium deficiency (foliar puckering). When needed, a tank mix of daminozide 2,500 to 5,000 ppm and chlormequat 500 to 750 ppm can be used. Paclobutrazol sprays of 5 to 10 ppm are also effective. High light levels and temperatures will reduce crop time. Pentas will naturally decrease pH levels in the soil and regular monitoring is necessary.

High light levels and temperatures will reduce crop time. Pentas will naturally decrease pH levels in the soil and regular monitoring is necessary. Plants that have pH below 6.4 will slow growth, delay flowering, exhibit signs of iron toxicity (foliar necrosis) and calcium/magnesium deficiency (foliar puckering). Growth Regulators: The Lucky Star series has been bred and selected for natural compactness. When needed, a tank mix of daminozide 2,500 to 5,000 ppm and chlormequat 500 to 750 ppm can be used. Paclobutrazol sprays of 5 to 10 ppm are also effective. Lucky Star Dark Red can exhibit leaf necrosis (chilling injury) when exposed to temperatures below 60°F (16°C). The extent of chilling injury depends on the exposure temperature and duration. Plants do grow out of minor damage when exposure is minimal but to avoid any chilling injury, keep above 60°F (16°C) during production and transport. As Black Pearl is used especially for its foliage, crop times reflect finish for foliage, not fruit. Performs best under high light and warm temperatures. Add 4 to 5 weeks for Spring production crop times.
