50-75 ppm N only after rooted

A soft pinch will increase branching.

35-42 days after sticking

Discontinue mist as quickly as possible and only mist to avoid leaf wilt. Begin feeding 7 days after sticking with 50-75 ppm N.

Fairly light feeders. Cal/ Mag, 100 ppm regularly. Do not want to get too much soft growth that can lead to stretch and ultimately poor flowering.

42-49 days after sticking

Scabiosa cuttings are sensitive to over-misting and over-watering in propagation.

75-100 ppm N starting at Day 10

Typically not necessary. Remove premature flower buds as they appear.

50-75 ppm N

Typically not necessary in propagation.

35-42 days after sticking

Do not over-mist. Oversaturated rooting media will slow the rooting process and contribute to stem rot. Remove from mist environment as soon as roots appear.

50 ppm N when roots become visible

Typically not necessary in propagation.

35-42 days after sticking

Do not over-mist. Oversaturated rooting media will slow the rooting process and contribute to stem rot. Remove from mist environment before or as soon as roots appear.

50-75 ppm N

Typically not necessary in propagation.

35-42 days after sticking

Do not over-mist. Oversaturated rooting media will slow the rooting process and contribute to stem rot. Remove from mist environment as soon as roots appear.

50-75 ppm N

Typically not necessary in propagation.

35-42 days after sticking

Do not over-mist. Oversaturated rooting media will slow the rooting process and contribute to stem rot. Remove from mist environment as soon as roots appear.

50-75 ppm N starting day 7

Pinch once, prior to transplant.

35-42 days after sticking

Mist enough to rehydrate cuttings. Do not over-mist beyond Day 2 or 3.

50-75 ppm N starting Day 7

Yes, one to two times in propagation.

35-42 days after sticking

Do not oversaturate rooting media.

35-42 days after sticking

Roots quickly. Plan to pinch in liner tray.

50-75 ppm N

Recommended after roots are established. Leave 4-5 active internodes. Recommended after roots are established. Leave 4-5 active internodes. Recommended after roots are established. Leave 4-5 active internodes. Recommended after roots are established. Leave 4-5 active internodes.

35-42 days after sticking

Roots quickly. Plan to pinch in liner tray. Too wet will delay rooting.

50-75 ppm N

35-42 days after sticking

Roots quickly. Plan to pinch in liner tray.

50-75 ppm N

35-42 days after sticking

Roots quickly. Plan to pinch in liner tray.

50-75 ppm N

50-75 ppm N at Day 7

Soft pinch recommended 25-28 days after sticking.

35-42 days after sticking

Excessive media moisture will slow rooting. Begin fertilizing at Day 7 with 75 ppm N.
