Lab 3
Here are just a few reminders and information from lab.
Marathon was applied 2/4/08 at the following rate: 1/3 tsp./pot for the zonal geraniums, mums, and Easter lilies. 2/3 tsp/pot for the ivy geraniums. Remember, Marathon is a granular systemic insecticide used to prevent the infestation by our most common greenhouse insects. It is applied to the media surface and watered in.
Banrot was applied 2/4/08 at 8 oz./100 gal. to all geraniums, mums, Easter lilies, snapdragons, and ferns. Banrot is a systemic fungicide drench that prevents infection from our most common root rot diseases.
Dr. Starman asked me to try to give you an idea of how often I am watering plants in the greenhouse to help guide you in your watering. The Easter lilies are getting watered every day or sometimes every other day. The snapdragons are getting watered once a week unless it is really sunny. The ivy geraniums are getting watered a couple of times per week. Everything else is every other day or sometimes every third day. Remember this changes frequently with the weather and you should be checking your plants every day.
Notice your snapdragons have been moved outside. This will affect how often you water them so check them carefully.
