Combi-pots: colourful bedding plant combinations : evaluating the combination ability and alternative culture methods of bedding plants in mixed container plantings
Samenvatting
It all began with ̈Celebration® Karneval® ̈ from Westhoff, a Calibrachoa mix consisting of three different colours. The result in red, yellow and blue was so convincing that it became the trend-setter for what nowadays is marketed under the name "combi-pots". These are colourful combinations, either contrasting or tone-on-tone, in the form of mixed plantings whereby three young plants of either the same or different genera are rooted separately or together in a single pot. For the cultivation of mixed young plants it is important that all varieties have similar demands in relation to light, water, temperature, plant growth regulators, flowering time and growth habit. However, many combinations seem in relation to alternative culture methods not fully developed. For this reason, it was decided to re-evaluate existing and partly develop new potential bedding plant combinations of three different genera using Westhoff Westflowers® varieties to satisfy production requirements.
