Daminozide is typically used at 2,500 ppm to assist in minimizing internode stretch. The first application should be made approximately 2 weeks after the pinch, when new shoots are about 1.5 in. (4 cm) in length. Then spray once a week for about 3 weeks. Paclobutrazol drench at 1 to 2 ppm has also shown to be effective.

Paclobutrazol drench 0.5 ppm or daminozide spray at 2,500 ppm can be applied if needed. Generally not needed.

If grown cool and with high light levels, Juliet Diascia will generally require little, if any, PGRs. Tropical vine variety featuring glossy green leaves and trumpet-shaped pink flowers with a yellow throat that blooms from Spring to Summer. It thrives in full sun, requires well-drained soil, and needs consistent moisture.
