Two poinsettia stems from Dr. Erik Runkle’s trial work demonstrate difference in response to an application of 3 ppm of Fascination (stem on the left) and 10 ppm of Fascination (stem on the right). Runkle found that the higher the concentration of Fascination, the greater the plant response.

How Fascination Works

• Fascination is a unique combination of two plant growth regulators that influence plant growth and maturity in several ways.
• Applied as a foliar spray, Fascination affects plant growth by signaling something to occur in the plant that is natural, but that may not normally occur at precisely the desired time.
• • Gibberellins 4 (GA4) and 7 (GA7) are naturally occurring plant growth regulators widely used in agricultural crops for many years with excellent results. Gibberellins 4 and 7 maintain plant tissue in a juvenile stage and retard aging.
  • 6-benzyladenine (6BA) is another widely used plant growth regulator well known to delay chlorophyll degradation and maintain greenness in leaves.
• When sprayed properly and uniformly, early applications of Fascination can protect plants from lower-leaf yellowing for up to three weeks.
• Later in the season, Fascination can help delay flower senescence by promoting plant growth and initiating flowering before shipping or cooler storage.
