  • Ethylene in Floriculture
    technically speaking BY ERIK RUNKLE Ethylene in Floriculture Ethylene is a hormone that influences growth and development of plants throughout their life cycle. It is a colorless gas that is active at very low concentrations, even at parts per billion (which is 0.001 part per million). For most crops, ethylene inhibits extension growth, promotes branching, stimulates leaf senescence, and aborts flowers and flower buds. Ethylene can be a harmful contaminant in greenhouses, as well as during shipping of young plants to greenhouses and finished (flowering) plants to the retail market. However, there are situations when ethylene can elicit desirable responses in greenhouse crop production. This article summarizes inadvertent and intentional ethylene exposure to floriculture crops. Unwanted ethylene in greenhouses. Plants naturally produce ethylene, but this alone is not a concern Figure 1. If growth of plants is stunted, flowering is delayed, in greenhouses because concentrations are so low. or leaves start to twist or curl, ethylene contamination may be Ethylene contamination usually occurs when there is the problem. Check unit heaters to ensure adequate oxygen is insufficient oxygen provided to unit heaters (resulting in provided for complete combustion of fuels, and that the exhaust is incomplete combustion of fuels), or when the exhaust is sufficiently ventilated. inadequately vented. The effects of ethylene depend on the concentration, duration of exposure, temperature, State) as well as by private consultants has shown that Collate is and species. At a relatively high concentration, such as effective at lower drench rates, such as 20 to 40 ppm on bedding 1 or 2 ppm, symptoms of ethylene exposure are quite plants and 200 to 250 ppm on potted daffodils.

For the safety of our members and our customers, this year will be an online pre-order only sale. Our mission stays the same: to support our community’s green spaces, and to educate our community in the areas of gardening, horticulture, conservation, and related topics. GCH members serve as volunteers, and our profits from the Bulb Mart are given back to WELCOME the community in support of our mission. In the last fifteen years, we have given back over $3.5 million in grants to the community! The Garden Club of Houston’s first Plant Sale was held in 1942, on the steps of The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, with plants dug from members’ gardens. Plants propagated from our own members’ yards will be available again this year as well as plants and bulbs sourced from near and far that are unique, interesting, and well suited for area gardens.

  • Invasive Plants in Your Backyard!
    Invasive Plants In Your Backyard! A Guide to Their Identification and Control new expanded edition Do you know what plants are growing in your yard? Chances are very good that along with your favorite flowers and shrubs, there are non‐native invasives on your property. Non‐native invasives are aggressive exotic plants introduced intentionally for their ornamental value, or accidentally by hitchhiking with people or products. They thrive in our growing conditions, and with no natural enemies have nothing to check their rapid spread. The environmental costs of invasives are great – they crowd out native vegetation and reduce biological diversity, can change how entire ecosystems function, and pose a threat Invasive Morrow’s honeysuckle (S. Leicht, to endangered species. University of Connecticut, bugwood.org) Several organizations in Connecticut are hard at work preventing the spread of invasives, including the Invasive Plant Council, the Invasive Plant Working Group, and the Invasive Plant Atlas of New England. They maintain an official list of invasive and potentially invasive plants, promote invasives eradication, and have helped establish legislation restricting the sale of invasives. Should I be concerned about invasives on my property? Invasive plants can be a major nuisance right in your own backyard. They can kill your favorite trees, show up in your gardens, and overrun your lawn. And, because it can be costly to remove them, they can even lower the value of your property. What’s more, invasive plants can escape to nearby parks, open spaces and natural areas. What should I do if there are invasives on my property? If you find invasive plants on your property they should be removed before the infestation worsens.
