Growing guide

• Uses: Pots, mixed containers and landscaping.
• Sowing: Sow 1–3 seeds per plug cell. Use 2–3 seeds per cell for a fuller finished product. Covering is unnecessary, although a light layer of vermiculite can help retain moisture.
• Germination: Root emergence takes 7–9 days. Maintain 95–100% humidity until day 9, then reduce to 40–60%.
• Growth conditions: High light intensity and warm temperatures shorten overall production time.
• Plug medium: pH 5.5–6.2, EC below 0.75. Keep saturated at moisture level 5 for the first 2–3 days, then reduce to wet, level 4.
• Growing-on medium: pH 5.5–6.2, EC 1.25–1.70. Alternate between wet, level 4, and medium moisture, level 2, according to conditions.
• Temperature: 20–25°C during plug production, then 16–18°C at night and 20–21°C by day. Plants tolerate slightly lower temperatures, but not below 12°C. Eucalyptus does not tolerate frost.
• Feeding: Plants require high feeding levels. Apply a balanced fertiliser such as 15-5-15 or 17-5-17 at 150–200 ppm weekly. Under high light and temperature conditions, 20-10-20 may be used. Slow-release fertilisers can be effective in large containers.

Growth stages

1. Stage 1 runs from initial root formation to cotyledon development.
2. Stage 2 runs from fully developed cotyledons to the first true leaves.
3. Stage 3 ends when 80% of plants are market-ready.
4. Stage 4: plants are ready for sale and undergo 7 days of hardening.
