Notes/Pitfall Management
B9/Cycocel sprays can be more effective than Sumagic sprays. However, may delay flowering slightly. Plugs are much easier to manage when grown under short days. Manage moisture carefully in summer heat. Containers can appear wilted with plenty of media moisture. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
