Abstract: The precision flowering of Regal Pelargoniums includes the following six stages: the production of pathogen indexed Mother Block and selection phase, the stock plant production phase, the vegetative propagation post-harvest phases. By means of temperature control and misting during vegetative propagation, careful control of temperature and accumulated light during floral initiation, and night-break lighting during finishing if necessary, flowering Regal Pelargoniums may be produced any time during the year. Moreover, as a result of the combined method steps of the present application, the production of a finished, flowering plant from a stock plant cutting may be completed in a total of 13 to 16 weeks.
