Petunia x hybrida Trailing F1 SUCCESS!™
Uses: Annual
Pots, Hanging Baskets, Mixed Containers and Landscape
Exposure: Full sun
Garden height: 10”-14” / 25-35 cm
Crop time:
Plug Crop Time: “288” tray – 4-5 weeks
Finished Crop Time: 4” pots / 10 cm: 5-6 weeks from a “288” tray
6” pots / 12 cm: 6-7 weeks from a “288” tray
10” baskets / 25 cm: 8-9 weeks from a “288” tray
Seed form: Pelleted seed
Sowing method: 1 pellet per plug
Sowing media: pH 5.5-5.8; keeping the pH below 6.0 will help to keep
boron and iron available; EC 1.0 < or 0.75-1.0
Plug culture
Temperature: 72-76 ˚F (22-24 ˚C) until radicle emergence and then
reduce to 68-70 ˚F (20-21 ˚C). The temperature can be lowered on
approximately day 5. Once cotyledons have expanded lower the
temperature further to 65-68 ˚F (18-20 ˚C).
Moisture: Begin by watering to saturated; applying enough water to
help dissolve the pellets. After sowing do not allow the pellets to dry
back before moving to the germination chamber or benches. Maintain
saturated media for 3-4 days or until radicle emergence. On day 5
reduce media moisture to wet for the next 5-6 days and on day 10-11
reduce further to medium. Alternate between wet and medium between
watering.
Humidity: 95-100 % until day 5; then reduce to 40-60 %. Provide
proper ventilation and horizontal airflow to improve oxygen levels in
the media.
Light: Light is necessary for germination. If using a germination chamber
provide 10-100 foot candles (100-1,000 lux).
Growing on
4-5 weeks from sowing using a “288” plug tray. Transplant as soon as
roots reach the edges of the cell and can be removed without being
disturbed too much. The Success!™ Petunias are less day length
sensitive and require less growth regulators than other trailing Petunias.
Media: pH 5.5-5.8; EC 1.5-2.0
Temperature: Maintain temperatures > 55 °F (13 °C) nights for the first
6 weeks to initiate flower bud development; night temperatures can
be lowered further to 50 °F (10 °C) to encourage basal branching and
compactness; however – lower temperatures may also substantially
decrease the number of flowers initiated; growing at cooler temperatures
will produce a higher quality plant.
An ADT (average daily temperature) of 67 ˚F (19 ˚C) will give the fastest
finished crop.
Fertilization: Feed at 100-200 ppm nitrogen. Under high light conditions, apply an ammonium-based feed (17-5-17).To prevent stretching
under low light conditions apply a calcium-based feed (14-4-14).
Under high light and long days an ammonium-based feed (20-10-20)
is preferred.
Light: Provide 3,500-5,000 foot candles (35,000-50,000 lux) of light in
the finishing stages. Petunias need long days to flower. To initiate bud
under short days, extend day length to 14 hours. Under long day, low
light conditions, supplemental lighting of 350-500 foot candles
(3,500-5,000 lux) may be necessary.
Plant treatment: B-Nine (Daminozide) as needed at 3,500-5,000 ppm.
Apply B-Nine before the buds are visible. Late applications can delay
flowering and reduce flower size. Also responsive to Bonzi and Piccolo
sprays (Paclobutrazol), Sumac (Uniconazol) or B-Nine/Cycocel
(Chlormequat Chloride) tank mix. Light drenches of Bonzi or Piccolo
(Paclobutrazol) can be used once established in the final container.
Apply fungicides during long periods of low light and high humidity.
Cultural hints
Common Diseases: Botrytis, Rhizoctonia
Post Harvest to Maintain Keeping Quality: Fertilize with
Potassium nitrate at 100 ppm 1-2 weeks prior to shipping.
Fertilizer: Maintain an EC < 1.0
