Regularly allow the media to dry moderately between waterings, especially in cool periods. Proper pinching and moderate feeding will improve habit and flowering. Regularly allow the media to dry moderately between waterings, especially in cool periods. Proper pinching and moderate feeding will improve habit and flowering. Pinch two weeks after transplant. Plants should dry between watering. PGR is recommended for regions with high light levels and high temperatures. Regularly allow the media to dry between waterings, particularly during cool periods. Prefers warm conditions to ensure early flowering. Scaevola prefers a well-drained soil. Allow the media to dry between waterings. Night temperatures lower than recommended will significantly slow the crop and lead to problems with root rot. Scaevola prefers a well-drained soil. Allow the media to dry between waterings.
