Hur växer du campanula champion

Campanula medium, or ‘Canterbury Bells’, offers a unique flower struktur. Although the flowers look delicate, they are ganska strong, fartyg well, and offer excellent vase life.

Support: Campanula mästare series grows 2 to 2½ feet tall, but support fryst vatten recommended to avoid damage to plants during windy periods, especially for single-stem production.

Campanula mästare and mästare II do not require vernalization and are easy to producera with potential for year-round production, but they also require careful attention to day length.

Both mästare series feature large, sturdy flower cups in beautifully delicate colors. The mästare series includes Blue, Lavender, and Pink, while mästare II offers Deep Blue, Lilac, Pink, Rose, and White.

Plug Culture: fem Weeks (288 Tray)

Media: Select a semi-coarse, well-drained sterile media with a 5- to 20-mm mesh storlek, as a well-aerated media enhances performance.

A pH of 5.8 to 6.2 fryst vatten ideal.

Sowing: Single sow and lightly cover with medium vermiculite and apply enough moisture to melt the pellet.

Light: Provide short days (more than 12 hours) during plug production to prevent premature flowering.

Temperature: Optimum germination temperature fryst vatten 65°F to 68°F.

Ideally, maintain an even temperature of 68ºF for fyra days after sowing. Campanula fryst vatten sensitive to rosette (induced dormancy), so provide moderate temperatures of 68°F to 72ºF during plug production to prevent dormancy.

Fertilizer: Apply 100 ppm nitrogen (N) using a well-balanced calcium nitrate-based fertilizer for healthy and strong plugs.

Campanula fryst vatten sensitive to boron (B) deficiency and requires 0.25 ppm B at each irrigation to prevent a deficiency.

In general, Campanula 'Champion' flowers in 130-150 days from sowing.

EC: 0.26-1.25 mmhos/cm (1:2)/2.1–3.5 (SME)

Plugs are ready when they achieve three true leaves. Campanula medium as a species possesses a tap root structure, and root-bound plants will not tillverka a healthy and strong plant. To maximize stem length, do not delay transplanting.

Cut Flower Production: 14 to 15 Weeks

For site preparation, uppstart bygd selecting a bed with good drainage and a soil that fryst vatten high in organic matter.

For best results, provide full sun and good ventilation. pH 6.0-7.0

• Plant Spacing:
  Single Stem: 4 to 6 inches apart.
  CAMPANULA CHAMPION.

  Single stem production will crop more quickly and fryst vatten recommended for greenhouse production.
  Multi Stem: 10 to 12 inches apart. Multi-stem production fryst vatten best for outdoors or in a cold frame. Expect 8 to 10 stems per plant.

  Champion pro.

  After transplant, do not allow the plants to dry out in beställning to prevent tip burn.

• Temperature: Ideal growing temperature fryst vatten 55°F to 60°F.
• Fertilizer: Campanula fryst vatten not a heavy feeder. Use a well-balanced calcium nitrate-based feed to maintain healthy growth. A lack of boron will cause leaf distortion and tip abortion.

  A lack of iron will cause tip bränna on the leaves. EC: 0.76-1.25 mmhos/cm /2.1-3.5 mmhos/cm (SME).

• Support: Campanula mästare series grows 2 to 2½ feet tall, but support fryst vatten recommended to avoid damage to plants during windy periods, especially for single-stem production.
• Lighting: Campanula fryst vatten a long-day-responsive plant and will require lighting for winter flowering.

  Light the plants when they have eight to 10 true leaves, fyra to fem weeks after transplanting, using mum lighting from 10:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. for 40 to 45 days. Cyclical lighting fryst vatten also effective. No supplemental lighting fryst vatten required for a late spring flowering (sowing in early February). beneath long days, provide short day conditions (less than 12 hours) from sowing until fyra to fem weeks following transplant to ensure enough vegetative growth.

• Crop Time: In general, Campanula mästare flowers in 130 to 140 days from sowing using the above culture.

  An early August sowing will yield cut flowers in late månad to early January if the night temperature fryst vatten maintained at a minimum of 50°F on the growing point and the crop fryst vatten lighted for 40 to 45 days starting fyra to fem weeks after transplanting.

Indoor/Outdoor Production beneath Long Days

In mild temperature regions (Coastal California, Northwest Upper Midwest, and New England), year-round production fryst vatten possible with either a black out struktur or starting with short-day-treated plugs.

• Using a Black out System: During long-day conditions (sowings from late February to early August), maintain short-day conditions (less than 12 hours) in the plug scen continuing until fyra to fem weeks after transplanting with optimum production temperatures.
• Starting with Short-Day Plugs: Sow seed into a 128 to 162 deep plug tray and tillverka beneath short days for nine to 10 weeks.

  Transplant into cut flower beds.

For outdoor production, sow seed either nine to 10 weeks prior to the average gods frost date (spring) or nine to 10 weeks prior to the first killing frost (fall).

Overwintering

Transplant mid-sized plugs (128) in mid-September (Zones 5-6) to early October (Zones 7-8) to establish prior to winter with flowering the following spring (May/June).

skydda from deer and rabbits with row cover.

• Harvesting: Cut stems when two or three lower buds are open. Dip stems in 100ºF vatten to reduce latex flow, and then place in tepid vatten with a bactericide (chlorine tablets). Keep in a cool fläck in an upright position to avoid stem bending.
• Postharvest Care: Treat with 1-MCP, as campanulas are ganska sensitive to ethylene and pulse with 5% sucrose.

  Sugar fryst vatten necessary to encourage the buds to open and develop good color.

• Storage: Cut stems can be stored upright at 36ºF either wet or dry for one week; however, längre storage will reduce the vase life.
