Culture<\/p>\n<p><strong>Production Seasons:<\/strong><br \/>\nRooted Liners Only<br \/>\nCan be grown in 6\u201d to 12\u201d pots for weekly sales or for spring production, combination baskets or patio containers.<\/p>\n<p>New colors include Pink Halo, Pinot and Scarlet<\/p>\n<p>These selections have larger flower count per plant plus an improved plant form with more leaves per plant and smaller leaf size.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Crop planning from cell packs:<\/strong><br \/>\nPot size: Plants per pot (pp) Crop Time (weeks)<br \/>\n4\u201d (10 cm) 1 pp 7 to 9<br \/>\n6\u201d (15 cm) 1 or 2 pp 12 to 14<\/p>\n<p><strong>Light Level:<\/strong> 1,000 to 1,500 foot-candle and slightly lower during summer conditions.<br \/>\nKey is to keep leaf temperatures at minimum to prevent scalding or damage due to high leaf temperatures. Also, keep leaf temperature and irrigation water temperature differences at a minimum so not to damage leaf cells. Treat Streptocarpus like African Violets in management of light and temperatures. Sub irrigation is best for watering during the winter months in order to keep cold water from leaves and yellowing from cold temperature on warm leaves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Temperature:<\/strong><br \/>\nNight temperatures 65\u00b0 to 68\u00b0F (18\u00b0-20\u00b0C)<br \/>\nDay temperatures at 65\u00b0 to 80\u00b0F (18\u00b0-27\u00b0C)<br \/>\nWarm day temperatures above 95\u00b0F will cause yellowing of foliage color and reduce flower size and longevity. Cooler temperatures will create much longer growing period and other plant physiological troubles of roots and\/or leaves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Media &amp; pH:<\/strong> Allow soil to dry to \u2018damp\u2019 condition between irrigation. Sub-irrigation is the best form of irrigation to keep water off leaves and flowers. In the afternoon, vent to help keep humidity levels low going into the evenings to control disease.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fertilizer Requirements:<\/strong> 100 to 125 PPM N using a balanced feed to maintain color of foliage. No Ammonium feeds (Ca and K Nitrate based feeds are best) help eliminate stretch and poor growth under lower light conditions. Include Micro element source as part of fertilizer solution. Limiting the amount of feed applied will eliminate salt build-up and possible damage to roots. Maintain EC at approximately 0.8 to 1.0mmhos. 6.0 is a proper pH for Streptocarpus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pinching Requirement:<\/strong> These varieties will flower early \u2013 the varieties will be smaller in size when they start to flower so remove flowers for 3 to 4 weeks to keep plants clean and help promote growth of plants.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Transplanting:<\/strong> When transplanting, the top of the liner should not be buried below new soil level. If crown of plant is buried, plant growth will be slowed, delayed or crown will rot. If the top of the liner is planted too high, finished plant may become floppy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Growth Regulators:<\/strong> Spray applications of Sumagic or B-9 are effective without concern of stunted growth. Use at label rates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pests\/Disease:<\/strong> Aphids, Thrips, Whitefly and Mealy bugs.<br \/>\nBotrytis and Crown Rot are the most prevalent problems.<br \/>\nPreventative drenches \/ sprays of broad spectrum fungicides are recommended to high quality crops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Streptocarpus Cultural Worksheet Streptocarpus \u2018Ladyslippers\u2122\u2019 &#8211; Vegetative Liners from Tissue Culture Production Seasons: Rooted Liners Only Can be grown in 6\u201d to 12\u201d pots for weekly sales or for spring production, combination baskets or patio containers.
