B-Nine 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. Bonzi drench at 1 to 2 ppm has also shown to be effective. Generally not needed. Sumagic(S) 5-10 ppm or a B-Nine 2,500-3,500 ppm and Cycocel 1,000-1,500 tank mix(S) can be used to maintain habit as needed.

Lava Rose Coleus will generally not require any PGR applications during production. Plants should be pinched only as needed since Lava Rose is extremely free-branching. Pinch early to shape. Scout plants regularly for whitefly. Avoid crowding at all stages.

Use B-Nine(S) 3,000-5,000 ppm as needed to maintain habit. Florel(S) 200-300 ppm can be used to improve branching.
