Effects of low temperatures on ornamental plants.

Author(s) : REID M. S.

Type of article: Periodical article

Summary

Each species functions optimally within a relatively narrow temperature "window", that often relates to the climate in the species' native habitat. For cut flowers, the safe low temperature obviously depends on the lower limit of the temperature window. The lower limit varies significantly between arctic and tropical plants. The bases of these differences in temperature response, and the possibilities for changing them to extend the storage life of ornamental species are discussed.
