2:1 (v/v) mix of horticultural grade perlite and fine milled sphagnum peat. Trays were placed in a mist bed with bottom heat (≈21 °C) in a temperature-controlled greenhouse (20 °C). Rooted cuttings were transplanted to 6-inch square nursery pots in

temperature can lead to better rooting ( Maynard and Bassuk, 1992 ). Based on these reports, we concluded that the stock plant environment is critical for rooting success, and that growing in a greenhouse allows for better control over seasonal environmental

.g., temperature and light) influence plant growth and development. The rate of plant development is controlled by the mean daily temperature (MDT) of the apical meristem (e.g., shoot tip) ( Faust and Heins, 1993 ; Niu et al., 2001 ; Roberts and Summerfield, 1987

The rate of progress toward a developmental event, such as vegetative node appearance (development rate; the inverse of plastochron) or flowering, is primarily a function of the average daily temperature ( Kanellos and Pearson, 2000 ; Niu et al

independent variables considered by the model were global radiation (Rg) and air temperature in the greenhouse, crop age and water uptake, as well as a guide ion. Brun and Chazelle (1996) described the (NO 3 – -N) uptake kinetic on roses with a multiple

respondents. Increasing temperature accelerates germination of larkspur, depending on the cultivar and length of exposure ( Mori, 2006 ). However, other sources showed that oriental larkspur germinates better at lower temperatures (5/10 °C and 5/15 °C day
