Calibrachoa Colibri Dark Lavender Rooted Cutting Liner

For best results with Colibri Dark Lavender, plant one rooted plug per 4-inch container or three per 10-inch basket. Use a well-drained soil with a pH of 5.6-6.0, EC of 1.0-1.2, light feed (100-150 ppm N), and temperatures of 65-68 daytime and 52-62 nighttime. The Colibri series will bloom under 10-hour days. You may see aphids and thrips, and this plant can be prone to botrytis and root rot. Pinch once if desired and apply a paclobutrazol drench when the plant is about 85% of its final size. Apply a fungicide at transplant.

Light purple flowers bloom from spring through late fall.

Pinch once if desired.

Space containers for adequate airflow and sunlight penetration around the base of each plant.

Apply a drench of paclobutrazol at 1-2 ppm when the plant is about 2/3 its final size.

You may see aphids and thrips.

This plant can be prone to botrytis and root rot when the days are short or in wet, humid conditions. Calibrachoa needs adequate moisture to grow, but keep it on the dry side in the greenhouse to avoid root rot. Water at the base of each plant in the morning and again in the afternoon if needed. Do not water at night. Provide good airflow in your greenhouse and allow sunlight to penetrate to the soil level of each plant by giving enough space between containers. We recommend using horizontal airflow fans. 

We recommend planting one rooted liner per 4-inch container or three per 10-inch basket. Use a well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot centered or evenly spaced in the container.
