Variety traits
Pelargonium zonale (L.) L'Hér.
A trait of bush formation quality, visually assessed by the density of leaf arrangement on the shoots. Leafiness is closely correlated with internode length and branching ability, determining the decorative value and habit of the plant.
In the reference 10 varieties crop Horseshoe pelargonium, where this is mentioned in the description.
During variety testing of Pelargonium zonale, leafiness is classified using qualitative scales, such as "dense," "good," or "medium." High leafiness, where leaves are positioned as tightly as possible, is preferred for forming a compact and lush bush. Low leafiness often accompanies etiolation or elongated internodes, which reduces the commercial characteristics of the variety.
This parameter depends on the variety's genetic predisposition to branching, as well as light conditions, which influence internode length. Although dense foliage increases the decorative appeal of Pelargonium, excessive canopy density, combined with poor humidity control and ventilation in the greenhouse, increases the risk of Botrytis infection.
