Cherry Kiss Trixi® grower guide describes ornamental mix performance across containers and baskets, including mono and multi-species combinations. It provides plant sizing and exposure targets, rooting and finishing parameters, pinch guidance, and mist timing assumptions. Detailed media and water management advice is included, along with PGR recommendations by product and application timing during rooting. Temperature and “Cool Morning” DIF-style treatments are specified to improve plant habit, flower and foliage color, and hardiness, plus monitoring notes for iron deficiency and potential pests.

Cover the plants and avoid run-off as much as possible. For vigorous products, first application should be done about 7-10 days after sticking, second when needed. Please test before use . 2. Media pH: Best results are achieved if media with the correct pH is used starting with propagation. 3. Fertilizer needs: Start with low concentrations after roots show and increase with plant development to the recommended levels. 4. Watering: In general avoid drying out or overwatering the substrate as this will affect plant quality and finishing time. Root system will suffer when conditions change from one extreme to the other.“Growing on the dry side“ means letting the substrate become dry (substrate color turns light brown and substrate starts to separate from the pot edge) before watering. “Keep constantly moist“ means watering the plants just before substrate becomes dry. Water management in rooting and finishing is half the success and the best way to prevent root-bound diseases, improve performance and control plant quality. 5. Temperature needs day/night: During rooting keep soil temperature measured in the liner at 70°F/21°C until cuttings are well-rooted. After planting the liner, keep temperature up until roots have developed nicely. Afterward follow recommendations. The use of “Cool Morning“ treatments will improve plant quality, flower and foliage color, and plant habit, and harden the plants. Lower the temperature by 8-12° F/4-6°C 2 hours before sunrise until 2-3 hours after sunrise. Start treatments after plants are rooted in, well-branched and cover the media (reach the pot edges) . To avoid delayed flowering, keep the average day temperature under a close watch and if necessary, increase night temperatures. Finishing of the crop depends on the average day temperature, and positive or negative DIF methods as well as “Cool Morning” can be used to improve plant quality.

FAQs

What are the recommended height and spread targets for Cherry Kiss Trixi®?

Height is 15–17 in (38–43 cm) with a spread of 17–20 in (43–51 cm). Exposure is full sun.

How should growers manage rooting and mist timing?

Keep conditions so substrates stay appropriately moist and follow average mist-day expectations. Early PGR treatment is recommended after 7–10 days, and sprays should be applied during rooting with careful coverage to avoid runoff.

Which PGR options and application approach are recommended for finishing quality?

PGR guidance depends on the mix: B-Nine, Sumagic, and Bonzi are listed with spray or drench dosages. Temperature and light levels are emphasized, with cool-morning style treatments used to improve habit and color.
