ResumoAbstract The number of flower buds formed on plants of Schlumbergera truncata (Haw.) Moran (Thanksgiving cactus) was reduced by high water stress during flower initiation and was unaffected by night temperature (13° vs. 17°C) under short days. Application of 100 ppm benzylamino purine (BA) increased flower bud number by 40% when sprayed 2 weeks after the initiation of a short day treatment and increased phylloclade number up to 150% when applied during long day photo-periods.
