Grower Information
: A Simply Beautiful® selection. The big-impact New Guinea for larger container programs. Vigorous and well-branched Celebration plants fill containers quickly with fewer plants per pot.
Available in a full color range with excellent greenhouse performance, Celebration’s large blooms cover the plant even in high heat.
Propagation Information
: Apply preventative fungicide spray after sticking. Reduce mist as soon as possible. Scout regularly for Botrytis.
Culture Information
: Maintain 68°F (20°C) average daily temperature to optimize bloom size and reduce time to flower. Cooler temperatures will extend crop time. Grow crop somewhat dry to help control growth and hasten flowering. Avoid excess micro-nutrients in the soil. With good cultural practices and environmental conditions, no PGRs will be needed.
Plant Growth Regulators
: Bonzi (Spray) 2-15 ppm can be used to control habit early; Bonzi (Drench) 0.25- 2.0 ppm applied as crop matures will control final height but not delay flowering or reduce flower size. Florel (Spray) 100-200 ppm can be used to improve branching but will usually not be needed.
Protection Information
