General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
For best results with Rigens Giant Red Bronze, use well-drained soil with medium feed (175-225 ppm N), a pH of 5.8-6.2, and an EC of 1.2-1.5. Provide daytime temperatures of 65-70 degrees and nighttime temperatures of 55-60 degrees. As a facultative long-day plant, Gazania has a longer crop time grown in low light levels. Plants grown during long days will flower earlier. You may see aphids, mealybugs, spider mites, and thrips. Gazania can be prone to fungus and root rot.
Flowering
3-4 inch orange-red flowers bloom spring-fall.
Pinching
This plant doesn't require pinching.
Spacing
Space containers to allow for adequate airflow and sunlight penetration between plants. This plant can grow to an 18" spread. We don't recommend planting them in 1801 trays as they can develop fungus when grown too close together.
Height Control
This plant typically doesn't require chemical growth regulators. If you do choose to use PGR, use a spray of Daminozide 2-3 weeks after transplanting. Use 3,000 ppm on 4-inch containers or 3,500 ppm on 5-inch, 6-inch, or gallon containers.
Pests
You may see aphids, mealybugs, spider mites, and thrips.
Disease
Rigens Giant Red Bronze can be prone to botrytis, downy mildew, and root rot. Avoid oversaturating the soil. If the plant sits in moist soil at length, you could end up with root rot or botrytis. Botrytis grey rot tends to occur in wet or humid conditions. Take these steps to prevent fungal infections and root rot: water in the morning and allow the plant to dry out between waterings; provide good airflow in your greenhouse; space plants so the sun can penetrate to the soil level and air can get completely around each container. The most common chemicals used to treat root rot are Medallion and Banrot. Use either as a drench according to the label's instructions.
Planting Rigens Giant Red Bronze Liners
We recommend planting one rooted plug per 4-inch container or three rooted plugs per 5-inch, 6-inch, or 1-gallon container. Use well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot in the center of the pot or equally spaced. Plants grown for spring sale take 8-9 weeks to finish; plants grown during longer days for summer take 7-8 weeks.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
