  Re: [Aroid-l] GA3 treatments on aroids
From: ted.held at us.henkel.com on 2006.09.25 at 13:18:16(14644)
I have experimented with GA3 on aroids
of the genus Cryptocoryne. I was successful in getting blooms from reluctant
plants. But I later found that the blooms were wildly distorted by the
treatment. Rather than a sturdy little spadix with a spiral hood, I got
a thin, almost transparent gizmo with a shepherd's crook as a hood. I later
got a "natural" flower from the same clone and it was conventional.
In addition, GA3 tended to induce weak, spindly growth in leaves that emerged
after treatment.
