Angelonia Serena Purple Seedling Tray

For best results with Serena Purple, plant one rooted plug per 1801 cell or 4-inch container. Use well-drained soil with a pH of 5.8-6.2, EC of 1.5-2.0 mS/cm, temperatures of 65-76 daytime and 65-67 nighttime, and medium feed (175-225 ppm N). This plant is day-neutral and grows best in cool conditions. Don't pinch, as pinching can cause an uneven habit and delay flowering. Apply a mix of daminozide and chlormequat or a paclobutrazol drench two weeks after transplanting. Watch for aphids and powdery mildew. 

Purple flowers bloom from spring through summer.

Don't pinch this plant. Pinching can cause an uneven habit and delay flowering.

Grow Angelonia pot tight in 1801s or 4-inch containers. Space them as they reach their final size to keep foliage from touching. 

Apply PGRs two weeks after transplant. Use a mix of daminozide and chlormequat at 2,500/750 tank mix or 2,500/1,000 spray or apply a paclobutrazol drench at 5-10 ppm in warm climates.

You may see aphids.

Serena Purple isn't prone to disease, but powdery mildew can develop. Take preventative measures in your greenhouse. Always use new media for planting and practice sanitary disposal of any infected plants. Water at the base of each plant in the morning and allow the soil to dry between waterings. Provide good airflow in your greenhouse and be sure sunlight and air can reach the soil level of each plant.

We recommend planting one rooted liner per 1801 cell or 4-inch container. Use well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot centered in the container.
