Pelargonium Calliope Pot 25cm - Konstantidis Plants - Productions of Ornamental Plants

Pelargonium Calliope Pot 25cm

Temperature: 70° – 75°F (21° – 24°C) Day and 65° – 70°F (18° – 21°C) Night. Maintain warm temperatures throughout production. Warm temperatures are recommended early on to promote growth and to allow plants to respond to PGR (i.e. Florel). Temperatures can be lowered towards the end of production to tone or hold the plant.

Description

Moisture: Media should be allowed to dry between irrigations. However, avoid severe drying out and consistent wilting.

Fertilizer: 250 ppm nitrogen. Calliope is a moderate-heavy feeder. Monitor EC levels and leach with clear water as needed to avoid fertilizer salt buildup. Calliope grows best when using primarily Cal-Mag (i.e. 15-5-15, 14-4-14, etc.) fertilizers. Ammonium-containing (i.e. 20-10-20, 15-15-15, etc.) fertilizers can be used periodically to help maintain adequate EC levels and to encourage growth.

Light: 4,000-6,000 foot candles. Calliope grows best under moderate to high light conditions. Supplemental lighting can be used in northern climates under dark, cloudy conditions. Avoid hanging lots of baskets above Calliope as flower quality and number will be reduced. It is also wise to not hang other geranium baskets above the crop because of the chances of bacterial disease contamination from the dripping baskets.

Media: pH: 6 – 6.4. Watch for iron/manganese toxicity (bronze speckling of older leaves) when pH drops down into the mid 5s.

Media: EC: 2 – 2.5 mS/cm (in an SME, Saturated Media Extract).

Temperature: 70° – 75°F (21° – 24°C) Day and 65° – 70°F (18° – 21°C) Night. Maintain warm temperatures throughout production. Warm temperatures are recommended early on to promote growth and to allow plants to respond to PGR (i.e. Florel). Temperatures can be lowered towards the end of production to tone or hold the plant.
