GROWING TIPS FOR MOJAVE®

■ Grow on the dry side to help naturally control growth.■ 100-150 ppm fertilizer for optimum growth. ■ Red leaf margins can indicate over-fertilization or

extremely high light levels.■ When holding at cool temperatures, be sure to

maintain temperatures no lower than 50°F to avoid leaf drop. Some red coloration on leaf margins may appear with cool temperatures. Under cool holding conditions, soil should be dry rather than moderate.

GROWING TIPS FOR COLORBLAZE®

■ Establish in a warm environment. Plants subject to chilling may be stunted.

■ 150-200 ppm fertilizer for optimal growth.■ One to two pinches can be used to increase

branching and for shaping. For small container sizes, this may not be necessary; larger containers will probably require pinching. Florel® can increase branching and reduce flowering. Cycocel/B-9 tank mix or Sumagic®
