Provide a balanced and complete fertilizer regime to assure optimum plant growth. Cuttings root quickly under normal propagation conditions. Chemical growth retardant applications may be needed during propagation to prevent stretching. Prestige is easy to grow and performs well in 5 to 6 pots or larger containers.
Plant growth is very uniform with all bracts visible in the floral display.
The natural flower initiation date of approximately 25 September is similar to other poinsettia cultivars. It is important to avoid heat and high light stress on young plants. Pinch within 10 to 14 days of transplanting for branched plants. Provide shading and cooling until about two weeks after pinching. Chemical growth retardant requirements may be minimal, but use if needed as determined from graphical tracking.
