Provide a balanced and complete fertilizer regime to assure optimum plant growth.
Cuttings root quickly under normal propagation conditions.
Minimum chemical growth regulator applications are needed during propagation to prevent stretching. The natural flower initiation date is similar to Freedom and about 7 to 10 days earlier than other poinsettia cultivars. Pepride can be grown along with Freedom for easy timing. Lighting is advisable beginning 5 September, in order to delay flower initiation. If later flowering is required, lighting should be continued until 8 to 9 weeks prior to the desired flowering date.
