CALADIUMS<br />
Caladiums are grown for their long-lasting, colorful foliage. There are three distinct types of caladiums -<br />
Fancy Leaf - broad heart- shaped or arrowhead shaped leaves which generally grow taller<br />
Strap Leaf - pointed, narrow, heart-shaped leaves producing a compact plant with more leaves than fancy leaf varieties<br />
(these are ideal for pot production and hanging baskets<br />
Dwarf Caladiums - compact in habit making them ideal for pot plant and hanging baskets.<br />
NOTE: IT IS ESSENTIAL TO START AT A SOIL TEMPERATURE OF 78-80 ° F.<br />
AVAILABILITY January to May<br />
WHEN TO PLANT<br />
Caladiums require a warm, moist soil. A minimum of soil temperature of 78-80 0 F is preferred. If planted too early in the spring, cool<br />
soil temperatures will cause tubers to rot before they sprout. They can be started indoors in moist peat moss or potting soil in<br />
containers such as a shallow flat or flower pot. Barely cover tubers with soil and place the container in a warm germination room with<br />
bright light. Tubers should be started indoors approximately four weeks before planting outdoors.<br />
WHERE TO PLANT<br />
For best growth, plant caladiums in well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.5. A 2-3" layer of pine bark mulch or compost<br />
should be incorporated into the soil to improve soil aeration, drainage, and organic matter content. Also, incorporate a complete<br />
fertilizer such a 8-8-8 at a rate of 1 to 2 lbs per 100 ft2 of bed area (2 Tbsp per ft2). Plant tubers 2" deep and 8" apart<br />
for small tubers and 12" apart for large tubers. Both roots and shoots emerge from the top of the tuber; place knobby side up.<br />
Mulch with a 2-3" layer of organic material to conserve moisture and keep the soil cool. Soil temperatures over 85 ° F can result<br />
in leaves with more green color and less of the highly prized brilliant colors. High levels of nitrogen fertilization can product the<br />
same effect. Caladiums are heavy feeders of potash and phosphorus and must have ample moisture and summer feeding of<br />
fertilizer in order to produce good tubers for the next growing season. Caladiums are not drought tolerant and should be<br />
watered on a regular basis.<br />
FALL CARE AND STORAGE<br />
Caladiums can be treated as annuals and left in the garden to be killed by cold weather. However, it is possible to save<br />
caladium tubers for planting again the following year.<br />
In the fall with the onset of cool nights, the leaves will begin to fade and droop.<br />
Before the leaves have lost all color and before soil temperatures drop below 55 ° F, dig the tubers that are to be saved,<br />
retaining the foliage and sort them by color or cultivar.<br />
Spread them out in an area protected from rain and cold, and allow them to dry for a week.<br />
Do not place in full sun. After leaves have dried, cut them from the tubers. Store the tubers in mesh orange or onion bags;<br />
or pack lightly in dry sphagnum moss and store them where the temperature will fall below 60 ° F.<br />
Canna thrive in full sun producing lush green and bronze foliage and bloom in vibrant colors.<br />
Canna are sturdy plants and need no staking.<br />
AVAILABILITY February - May<br />
WHEN & WHERE TO PLANT<br />
Canna can be planted anytime of the year in southern zones but the soil temperature should be 55-65 ° F.<br />
In zones 3-8, plant in spring and summer when ground temperature is not below 55-65° F.<br />
They should be started indoors one month prior to moving outside.<br />
Canna prefer a sunny location in moist, fertile soil.<br />
HOW TO PLANT<br />
When planting outside, prepare soil by spading and adding compost or rotted manure.<br />
Rhizomes should be planted 1 - 1/2" deep and spaced 18-24" apart.<br />
Soak well after planting. For container planting, pot one rhizome per gallon in well drained potting mix.<br />
Containers will finish in 10-12 weeks when potted during the appropriate temperatures: Daytime 70-75° F; Night 55-65° F.<br />
Fertilize established (2-3 weeks) plants monthly with 1:2:1 ratio (12:24:12 or 5:10:5), fertilizing at 1/2 the package recommendation.<br />
NPK at 200 ppm weekly in injector fed systems.<br />
DISEASE<br />
Moth larvae, commonly called 'leaf roller worm" is the only insect of consequence affecting canna.<br />
It can be controlled with application of malathion every three weeks.<br />
WINTER PROTECTION & MARKETING<br />
In zones 3-7, landscape canna should be dug after the first light frost in the fall and stored at 45-50° F.<br />
In zones 8-10 canna should be mulched before heavy frost.<br />

Elephant ears are native of tropical countries & are grown for their beautiful large leaves. They are suitable for growing<br />
in containers & for borders. The large leaves grow atop 3-7 foot stems. They need a minimum temperature of 70° F.<br />
They can be grown outdoors for the summer & brought in before frost. After the last frost, plant tubers when night temperatures<br />
maintain around 60° F. Plant 2-3" deep & up to 6 feet apart in rich, organic soil. The tubers may be started indoors at<br />
temperatures from 70-75° F. Water plants generously & fertilize often. In fall after the first frost, dig up the tubers, cut off<br />
the foliage & store w/the soil attached at 45-55° F.<br />

Plant caladium bulbs outdoors in late Spring since they will grow more vigorously in warm soil. Bulbs should be covered w/at least<br />
1 1/2" to 2 1/2" of soil. A well drained soil is very important. Caladiums like water therefore be sure they are planted in an area that<br />
receives adequate irrigation. Partial or full shade enhances the color of the leaves.<br />

STORAGE AFTER ARRIVAL<br />
Unpack on arrival. Dispose of any soft rot and wash hands to avoid spreading the bacterial to healthy bulbs.<br />
Place in well ventilated trays at 65° F for a couple of days prior to planting.<br />
This will insure any possible friction wounds caused by transit are well callused before planting.<br />
For long-term storage (6 weeks or more) keep well ventilated at 45° F and a relative humidity of 80%.<br />
POTTING MEDIUM<br />
Plant with 1 to 1 1/2" of medium over the tuber, rounded side down, sprouts (eyes) up.<br />
Pot sizes below 4 1/2" standard are more difficult to grow due to root volume restrictions (especially in clay pots).<br />
Additional care and management of fertility and irrigation are required in small or shallow pots<br />
because plants tend to be weaker, more easily stressed and, therefore more disease prone.<br />
The medium should be well drained, a pH of 6 - 6.5 and have good air porosity (optimal at 20% +/- 5%).<br />
WATERING<br />
Water management is critical. Keep pots moist but avoid excessively wet and excessively dry conditions.<br />
The first (within 2 days of planting) through watering should be a three-part preventative chemical drench.<br />
Then water sparingly until leaves unfurl. In week 3 or 4 reinoculate with a drench of Trichoderma and<br />
then a week later do a second chemical drench.<br />
Schedule these drenches to coincide with required watering to avoid overly wet pots.<br />
LIGHT<br />
Calla can be exposed to full sunlight, unless the temperature in the greenhouse goes over 80° F,<br />
then some shading is recommended to avoid leafburn - between 2500 - 5000 is ideal.<br />

temperature of 62-65° F. Lower temperature will delay flowering. rows should be 2-3 feet apart. Dahlias are a water loving plant.<br />
Day temperatures should be kept at 68-72° F. Higher temperatures In dry conditions be sure to add water to allow for proper growth.<br />
if given for a prolonged period of time can reduce the plant<br />
Continuous feeding is required, beginning at shoot emergence. Use<br />
quality. To delay the development of the crop near the date of a weekly application of 200 ppmN of a 20-20-20 or a topdress<br />
marketing, it is possible to lower the night temperature to 55° F, application of a slow release 14-14-14 fertilizer<br />
conversely, the crop can be accelerated by forcing 70-75° F for<br />
a few days.<br />
Cut when petals begin to loosen. Dahlias can be cut with or<br />
Fertilizer without foliage. Keep in cooler at 40-45° F.<br />
Dahlia require continuous fertilization beginning immediately<br />
after shoot growth becomes visible. A complete (NPK) fertilizer<br />
is required. A slow release (14-14-14) fertilizer applied as a topdress<br />
can be used. Also a weekly application of 200 ppmN of a<br />
20-20-20 soluble fertilizer can be used. The liquid feed can be used<br />
as a supplement to the slow release fertilization if needed.<br />

Hybrid lilies have risen in popularity over the past years, and have<br />
become a profitable crop for the grower and an attractive flower<br />
for the consumer. A big part is their versatility. They are available<br />
year-round and can be shipped on a weekly schedule, or shipped<br />
for specific target dates. Hybrid lilies have a relatively short<br />
forcing time and they are a cool-grown plant. Bulbs are already<br />
NOTE: IT IS ESSENTIAL TO START AT A SOIL TEMPERATURE OF 78-80 ° F.<br />
Asiatic and Oriental hybrid lily bulbs used for cut flower forcing<br />
can be forced on a year-round basis by using a combination of<br />
precooled and frozen-in bulbs. The number of cultivars available<br />
is constantly changing. Generally, the asiatics force in 8-10 weeks.<br />
Oriental and auratum lilies force in 12-15 weeks and are available<br />
until June 30th.<br />
On Arrival<br />
After being programmed, forcers should be prepared to plant bulbs<br />
immediately on arrival. If they must be stored, place them at<br />
32-35 ° F (0-2 °C). Storage at higher temperatures will cause<br />
desiccation of the bulbs which will result in fewer flowers per stem.<br />
Forcers should always check to be certain the bulbs are not<br />
seriously damaged or diseased. Do not store for longer than 10<br />
days. DO NOT REFREEZE.<br />
Planting and Spacing<br />
The planting medium should be sterile, well drained and have a pH<br />
of 5.5 to 7.5 with pH 7.0 being preferred. Because some lilies can<br />
develop leaf scorch due to soil borne fluoride, the medium should<br />
not contain superphosphate or perlite. If ground beds or raised<br />
benches are used, be certain to sterilize them and be sure they are<br />
low in soluble salts. Leaching may be necessary. They must be<br />
well drained.<br />
Bulbs for cut flowers can be planted in ground beds, 8-10" (20-25<br />
cm) deep raised beds or standard pots. Plant bulbs with at least 2"<br />
(5 cm) of planting medium above the bulb nose. This is necessary<br />
to develop stem roots.<br />
YEAR ROUND LILIES FOR CUT<br />
Watering - Temperature - Ventilation - Fertilizer<br />
Water the planting medium thoroughly after planting and<br />
then keep the medium moist but not wet<br />
Use 55-63° F (13-17° C) night temperatures and not higher than<br />
70° F (21° C) day temperatures. Avoid great fluctuations in<br />
temperature, because this can help to promote leaf scorch. Also,<br />
whenever possible, start Orientals at 59° F (15° C) for about 4<br />
weeks. Later, Orientals can be forced at higher temperatures<br />
(63-65° F/17-18° C) than Asiatics. In general, Asiatic and<br />
longiflorum lilies take 30-35 days to flower after they reach the<br />
visible bud stage of development and Orientals take 50-55 days.<br />
Lastly, when seasonally warm temperatures occur, try to keep<br />
the soil and air temperatures below 68° F (20° C). Mulching of<br />
ground or raised bed and shading are advised.<br />
Use a well ventilated greenhouse. Do not permit humidity to<br />
build up.<br />
The bulbs themselves contain lots of stored food, and they should be<br />
able to support the plant until the shoot emerges. Recommendations<br />
suggest withholding fertilizer until the shoot is 4-6" tall. Some<br />
growers incorporate a 10-6-4 slow release fertilizer in the<br />
medium prior to planting. Suggested rate is eight pounds per cubic<br />
yard. Use a liquid fertilizer such as 16-4-12 at the rate of 200 ppm<br />
to help deepen foliage color. If a preplant fertilizer has been<br />
added to the soil, then just use the liquid fertilizer every two weeks.<br />
Growing in the Summertime<br />
It is very important that the stem roots are developed before<br />
exposing the lilies to warm summer temperatures. Keep the<br />
planted bulbs for 3-4 weeks at or below 65° F to allow the roots<br />
to grow. This can be done in a bulb cooler or cool basement.<br />
Bulbs that have a poor root system will flower unevenly and have<br />
a lot of bloom dropping.<br />
Marketing, Harvesting and Storage<br />
Forcers - as soon as the first flower has fully developed color,<br />
but is not open, the plants should be cut. Care must be taken not<br />
to damage the unopened buds during marketing. Whenever<br />
possible, lilies should not be stored.<br />
Suggested Number of bulbs for Cut Flower Forcing in Beds or<br />
Raised Benches<br />
Asiatic Hybrids<br />
12/14 cm 6-9 per sq ft<br />
14/16 cm 5-8 per sq ft<br />
Oriental Hybrids<br />
16/18 cm 4-6 per sq ft<br />
18/20 cm 4-5 per sq ft<br />
Support System<br />
Because of their length and variation in stem strength, some cut<br />
lily cultivars may need wire support systems. If used, be certain<br />
the netting has holes large enough to accommodate easy cutting<br />
and removal of the flowers. Also, place the netting over the bulbs<br />
directly after planting.<br />
Light<br />
Lilies require a medium to high Light (>2500 ft candle) intensity<br />
greenhouse, especially during the short days of winter. If shading<br />
was used during the summer, be certain to clean the glass thoroughly<br />
before winter. In most instances lilies respond to HID lighting<br />
during the winter months. This aids in reducing flower abortion and<br />
Page 15 of 34
abscission especially with sensitive cultivars. Forcers who have low<br />
light intensity winters should seriously consider installing an HID<br />
lighting system for forcing cut lilies. When very high light condition<br />
occur (spring/summer), screening or shading is advised. Extremely<br />
high light intensities can reduce the length of the cut flower.<br />

Planting<br />
In all cases, the planting media should be sterile, well drained, have<br />
a pH of 6.5 to 7.5 with pH of 7.0 being preferred. Because some<br />
lilies can develop leaf scorch due to soil borne fluoride, the medium<br />
should not contain superphosphate or perlite. Dip for 30 minutes<br />
with one of the three following recommended formulas:<br />

longiflorum lilies take 30-35 days to flower after they reach the<br />
visible bud stage of development and Orientals take 50-55 days.<br />
Lastly, when seasonally warm temperatures occur, try to keep<br />
the soil and air temperatures below 68° F (20° C). Use shading<br />
when necessary.<br />

forcing. Forcers need to rely greatly on their past experiences with<br />
the various cultivars and then decide whether or not to use<br />
ancymidol (A'Rest), Bonzi, Sumagic, or any other approved growth<br />
retardant. If soil drenches are to be used, split applications are<br />
usually best. Also, the pH of the medium needs to be about 7.0 to<br />
get the most effective response of the soil drenches, particularly<br />
for A'Rest. The first to be applied at shoot emergence, the<br />
second 10-14 days later. Foliar sprays can also be used. In addition<br />
there has been research conducted on preplant bulb dips. If EPA<br />
approved, forcers should experiment with the procedure to<br />
determine the best rate and length of the bulb dip to use for their<br />
forcing conditions and cultivars used.<br />
Marketing and Storage<br />
Forcers - plants should be marketed as soon as first flower begins<br />
to color. This insures that the consumer will receive maximum<br />
enjoyment. Care must be taken not to damage the unopened<br />
buds during marketing. Storage should be kept to a minimum. If<br />
they must be stored, place them at 35-40° F (2-4° C) when the first<br />
flower is fully colored, but not open.<br />
According to Cornell University trials a 50 ppm application<br />
of facination 2 days before storage will prevent leaves<br />
from yellowing.<br />
