General Growing Tips For Your Seedling Tray
For best results with Flowering Kale Nagoya Mix, plant one rooted plug per 4-inch container. Use a well-drained soil in full sun with a pH of 5.8-6.2, EC of .9-1.3 (1:2) / 2.7-4.6 (PourThru) / 2.1-3.5 (SME), and medium feed (150-200 ppm N). Reduce feed to 100-150 ppm N at the first signs of color. Maintain temperatures of 50-68 degrees. In warmer temperatures, this plant may need PGRs. Color is dependent on temperature, based on whether the plant can synthesize chlorophyll; the flowering kale will only be green in temperatures above 72 (day) and 59 (night). You may see aphids, caterpillars, and cutworms. Watch for botrytis and downy mildew in wet or humid conditions.
Flowering
This plant is grown for its ornamental foliage.
Pinching
This plant doesn't require pinching.
Spacing
Space containers for adequate airflow around each plant and to allow sunlight to penetrate to the soil level.
Height Control
If you're growing this plant in warm temperatures, use a drench of paclobutrazol (Bonzi) at 2-5 ppm to maintain a compact habit. We do not recommend using B-Nine on Flowering Kale because it delays color.
Pests
You may see aphids, caterpillars, and cutworms, however this plant tends to be less affected by pests in landscape applications because it grows in cooler temperatures.
Disease
This plant isn't prone to disease, but watch for botrytis and downy mildew during humid or wet conditions. Prevent fungal disease by allowing the plant to dry out between waterings, providing good airflow in your greenhouse, and spacing containers to allow the sun to penetrate to the soil level. Water at the base of each plant in the morning. Treat botrytis with Medallion and Banrot as a drench according to each label’s instructions.
Planting Flowering Kale Nagoya Mix Liners
We recommend planting one rooted plug per 4-inch container. Use a well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot in the middle of the container. Grow in full sun.
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.
