How To Grow Ornamental Millet From SeedsGermination
Plug ProductionNOTE: Plugs allowed to become root bound or stressed by drought or nutrient deficiency will not perform well after transplant
Media:Use a well-drained, disease-free, soil less medium with a pH of 5.5 to 6.3 and a medium initial nutrient charge EC 0.75
Temperature:
LightLight is not required for germination.
HumidityAs long as the soil is kept evenly moist, high air humidity is not required for germination. Therefore, seed can be germinated directly on the bench.Soil MoistureKeep soil moisture high until radicle emergence, then reduce moisture levels after the radicle penetrates the medium. Do not allow the seedlings to wilt.FertilizerAt radicle emergence, apply 50 to 75 ppm N from 15-0-15. Increase to 100 to 150 ppm N as leaves develop.
Growing On to Finish
Media:Temperature:
LightKeep light levels as high as possible. Higher light results in stronger and thicker stems and better basal branching. Young plants are green. The stem and midrib of the foliage first turn purple after about eight leaves have developed. The foliage coloration occurs when the plants are moved from the greenhouse or home to outside to full sun. IrrigationMaintain even moisture. Do not allow plants to wilt.FertilizerFeed plants weekly with 150 to 200 ppm N in a complete fertilizer.PinchingDo not pinch.Note: Do not allow the plants to be stunted from water stress, inadequate fertilizer or allow the plants to become root bound. Plants which are stunted in a young stage may produce only a single, short stem.
