As we move into September, the days are shorter, cooler and damper; and the nights are longer. During this time we start to see color pushing through the bud membrane. The plants are starting to bloom. It’s time to shelter them to protect the buds from rain, dew and wind; provide adequate light, temperature control and ventilation. The watering and fertilization program must also be modified to assure proper bloom development, and lastly we need to continue with pest management and fungus control throughout the bloom development. The September cultural notes provide more detail of the necessary care to finish the blooms. There’s a lot to consider but its definitely worth the effort.
