Better Flower shape

Triplantanol works by affecting the uptake of plant nutrients and also by increasing the cell growth in many plant parts.

One area of special interest and value to anyone who grows or exhibits blooms is the effect this product can have on flower formation. Greater cell growth in petals allows for more rounded flowers to be produced. An increase in flower substance is often also detected. (This mirrors the effect that is seen in leaf growth).

Here you can see photographic evidence of the effect of 3 months feeding with Triplantanol powder.

A plant of Phalaenopsis King's Ransome 'Sunshine Dolly' AM/AOS was fed with Triplantanol.  Of great interest was to see the almost immediate effect on the expansion of additional blooms. The new flowers formed on an existing flower stem and showed  improved substance (thickness) and flower shape.

This is indeed unusual as normally Phalaenopsis blooms decrease in size as flowers are produced in succession, or they conform to the approximate same size and shape. Here the blooms have improved in size and shape on an existing flower stem.

We have also noticed improvements in the flowering of Paphiopedilum orchids. There can be an increse in the substance and size of the dorsal sepal and the ventral side petals also exhibit some increase in length.

Phalaenopsis and Pahiopedilum leaves grow thicker and Paphiopedilum plants often produce multiple growth breaks when Triplantanol is incorporated into a regular feeding program.

We have looked at both orchid families for growth and flowering performance and the effects have been noticeable and beneficial.
