• Temperature: Nights 15-17 °C (59-63 °F), days 18-20 °C (64-68 °F). Avoid lower temperatures, as temperatures between 18-20 °C (64-68 °F) promote the flower initiation. Before selling plants should be hardened slowly at 10-13 °C (50-55 °F). T. patula does not tolerate frost.
• Fertilizatio n: Moderate fertilization levels are required. Fertilize the crop weekly with 150-200 ppm nitrogen, using a completely balanced fertilizer. Avoid high ammonium and high nitrogen levels. High nitrogen levels cause leaves to be too large and high ammonium levels will damage the roots. Check regular pH value in the substrate, because a pH below 6.0 can result in necrotic spots on the leaves or in yellow leaves.
