Remontancy in Cineraria, florist's cineraria

Unlike traditional seed-grown varieties of Cineraria × hybrida, which have a single life cycle, specialized remontant hybrids are capable of re-flowering. This trait is not a quantitatively measurable value, but rather characterizes the qualitative ability of the plant to regain its decorative appeal after the completion of the main flowering phase.

The mechanism for activating a second wave requires the mandatory implementation of an agrotechnical practice: pruning shoots by 50% after the first inflorescences wither. This stimulates the development of new lateral shoots and the setting of flower buds. The crop requires the maintenance of stable cool and humid conditions to ensure the quality of the subsequent flowering.
