Longer Stems, Better Blooms: The Science Behind the Art
Part of the Research and the Flower Farmer webinar series.
Access instructions are emailed to all current ASCFG members.
Event Details
Speaker: Dr. Roberto Lopez of Michigan State University
Date: March 24, 2027, at Noon Eastern
Stem length depends on more than genetics, and this practical, research-based webinar will show growers how to use light, temperature, plant density, plant growth regulators, and crop timing to influence stem elongation and produce sturdier, longer, higher-quality cuts. Attendees will learn how these factors interact throughout the growing cycle and how thoughtful adjustments to production practices can maximize stem length without compromising overall crop quality.
- Understand how light, temperature, plant density, and crop timing influence stem elongation.
- Learn how these factors interact throughout the growing cycle to affect stem length and quality.
- Identify practical ways to adjust production practices for longer, sturdier stems without compromising crop quality.
This webinar is part of the ASCFG's complimentary Research and the Flower Farmer series. All events are recorded and available after the presentation.
