Cielo Firecracker is a calibrachoa cultivar in the Cielo® series from Green Fuse Botanicals. The series has large flowers, robust growth, and broad pH tolerance. ## Flowers and use The Cielo series is suited to pots, hanging baskets, and combination planters. [Green Fuse Botanicals](https://green-fuse.com/new/calibrachoa-cielo/) and its [Cielo culture sheet](https://green-fuse.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Calibrachoa-Cielo-Series.pdf) describe the series and its container use. ## Growing notes Green Fuse recommends the Cielo series for 4–8 inch pots, hanging baskets, and combination planters. Its culture sheet recommends evenly moist medium, warns that overwatering can lead to root problems, and gives pH 5.5–6.2 for optimum production. The series is described as having broad pH tolerance, though this optimum range remains useful guidance.

As plants mature, allow it to dry between irrigations; good air circulation and dry foliage help reduce disease pressure. The series is self-branching, with a light pinch after transplanting suggested for production quality.
