Pansy Colossus Formula Mix Seedling Tray

For best results with Colossus Formula Mix, plant one rooted plug per cell or 4-inch container or 5-6 per 10-inch basket. Use well-drained rich soil with a pH of 5.5-5.8, an EC of SME 0.9-1.3 mS/cm or Pourthru 1.4-2.0 mS/cm, and light feed (75-125 ppm N). Maintain a temperature of 64-66 degrees with 14 hours of daylight (4,000-6,000 foot candles). This plant doesn't require pinching. When grown cool with plenty of light, it doesn't require PGRs. In warm dark conditions, B-Nine at 2,500-5,000 ppm prevents stretching. You may see aphids and thrips. Pansies can be prone to fungus, mold, and root rot.
