We can observe on some of the plants that their roots are starting the reach the edge of the pot, which means we can certainly expect some healthy growth for the production, especially with fertilization starting today.
Cultural Activity:
Today will be the first time the Poinsettias will be watered with fertilizer. The solution used for irrigation at this point is a Calcium nitrate formula (15-0-0-19) applied at a rate of 150ppm (parts per million).
The Calcium solution is ideal at this stage of the production to help with the vegetative growth and health of the Poinsettias.
