ABSTRACT:
A technique is described by which plant growth characters are altered in poinsettias. In particular, the branching characteristics of restricted branching cultivars are altered by grafting their scions onto understock plants which are free branching. Stem diameters, internode lengths, number of cuttings, leaf morphology and dates of flowering are altered as the new scion grows after the graft has become established and consequently new cultivars are created by growing cuttings from the new scion. These changes, as a result of these graft unions, are permanent over many generations of the new cultivar and these changes are uniform among the new plants.
