Re: HYB: REB: ? hormones & rebloom?

Linda,
I've pondered the same thing with regard to a bloom-out problem I had two summers ago. I've used a product called Keikigrow Plus on my orchids and African violets to induce suckers along the flower spikes of Phalaenopsis orchids and at the base of African violet plants. I've often wondered if some of this cytokinin would trigger increases if poked into or rubbed on a rhizome that had bloomed out. Some day, I'll try it! Another one of those "round tuits".....
Here's a link to the Canadian company that makes it. See #8 on this FAQ page:

Do any of you know if anybody has experimented with hormones (plant growth regulators) - auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, abscisic acid, and/or ethylene - to see if they will trigger or inhibit rebloom?
