| Popis: | Maintaining size and shape of tropical foliage plants used in interior landscapes can be difficult. Both low and high interior light levels can cause undesirable increases in stem length or plant volume, necessitating pruning or replacement with another plant. Although only a few reports (1-5) are available, paclobutrazol has been shown to be effective in reducing the height of many tropical foliage plant species. In addition, paclobutrazol is reported to reduce leaf abcission of plants placed indoors (1, 3, 5) and intensify green leaf color (1, 4). Soil drench applications, because of the persistence of paclobutrazol in soil (6), can maintain plant size for a long time (4). |
