ABSTRACT:
The process of the invention provides for inducing the flowering of tropical ornamental plants at times when they do not flower naturally, by contacting the foliage with higher concentrations of a plant growth regulator. The benefits of this process are that horticulturists and landscapers can time the flowering of plants for certain times, or market demands.
