Care
Double Glimmer thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 5.8-6.2. Water consistently to prevent stress and avoid exposure to cold temperatures below 18°C at night. Fertilise regularly at 175-225 ppm nitrogen to promote healthy growth. Minimal pinching is needed, and early applications of plant growth regulators can help achieve the ideal plant form. Pests such as leafminers and thrips should be monitored, along with potential diseases like Impatiens Necrotic Spot Virus, Botrytis, and Pythium.
