LANTANA

Bandana®, Luscious®
NUTRITION
pH: 5.8 - 6.2
EC: (2:1 extraction method) .8 - 1.2
Constant feeding at 200ppm - 250ppm nitrogen with a
fertilizer selected for grower's water quality and soil mix is
recommended.
TEMPERATURE
Rooting out: 68 - 72 F
Growing on: 68 - 75 F
Holding: 60 - 65 F
WATERING
Maintain moderate soil moisture. Allow the soil to
cycle from moist to slightly dry. Avoid both severe dry
downs/wilting and long periods of wet soil, especially at cooler
temperatures. Growing too wet early in the production cycle
can cause disease issues. Severe wilt conditions can damage
root systems and delay both flowering and plant growth.
TIMING
4" - 5"/Grande™: 5 - 6 weeks with one 104 Liner plant.
6"/1GL Royale™: 7 - 8 weeks with two 104 Liner plants.
8": 8 - 9 weeks with two 104 Liner plants.
PLANTING
The 104 Liner plants should be planted slightly deeper than the
liner root ball into a well-drained soil mix selected to match
individual water quality and fertilizer blends. Water in thoroughly
without saturating the mix and maintain a constant moderate
soil moisture level for the first seven to 10 days to establish
new rooting. The liner cell plants arrive already pinched once.
Additional pinching should not be needed, except in the case of
taller material at time of planting or a second pinch on plants
for larger containers. This second pinch can be given for larger
containers usually three to four weeks after planting.
The Luscious® blend types can receive a second pinch for both
shaping and building the plant. Augeo® (Dikegulac-sodium)
(branding agent) can also be considered for building a fuller plant.
Crop time will be affected if used. Additional pinching will add
two weeks to crop times. Pinch as needed to shape the plant and
avoid severe "cutbacks."

LIGHT/LIGHTING
Lantana should be grown in a high light area of the greenhouse
for optimal plant development and flowering. Additional
lighting is not required for flowering, but can be used when
experiencing dark and cloudy conditions.
GROWTH REGULATORS
If required, a spray application of B-Nine® (daminozide) at
1,250ppm - 2,500ppm is effective. Also, a tank mix spray
of B-Nine at 2,500ppm and Cycocel® (chlormequat) at 1,000
ppm can be applied. Bonzi® (paclobutrazol) can be trialed
as a drench at 1ppm with group 1 varieties, below. Sprays
applied later in production or repeated numerous
times can delay flowering. Other materials such as
Sumagic® (uniconazole), Topflor® (flurprimidol), and Piccolo®
(paclobutrazol) can be used as a spray or drench application at
lower rates. These materials are best used in late spring and
summer production when both light levels and temperatures
are high.
Growing under high light conditions with adequate spacing
and recommended temperatures will produce the highest
quality plants and lower the need for PGR treatments. Florel®
(ethephon) is not recommended for Lantana production.
Flowering can be delayed severely and plant stress can
possibly cause leaf drop.
There is a significant variance of vigor and habit within the
offerings of Bandana® and Luscious Lantana. To best produce
quality crops of these offerings consider the following plant
groupings.
1) Luscious Bananarama™, Berry Blend™, Citrus Blend™ Improved,
and Pinkberry Blend™ are the most vigorous. These varieties
will more than likely need to be watered more than the other
Lantana. They will also probably require a PGR treatment. A
light pinch for shaping may also be beneficial.
2) Luscious Grape, Lemonade, Marmalade, Royale Cosmo, and
Royale Piña Colada are average vigor and may require a PGR
treatment.
3) Bandana Lantana are more mounded and compact. They
probably will not require a PGR treatment. Pink is the most
vigorous of the Bandana types and should be considered for
a PGR treatment.

The rates and chemicals listed are based on our southeast Michigan growing conditions, and are not recommended for nationwide application.
Please adjust the rates and spray applications to your location and facility.
