Sažetak
Pelargonium (Pelargonium x hortorum) is extremely popular perennial because of its features which anable simple cultivation. Besides that, pelargonium inflorescence picked in the right moment, with only few apical flowers being opened, can be maintained fresh in water for longer period. Since pelargonium inflorescence stems are short, they cannot be used in combination with the other cut flowers, the aim of this paper was to follow effect of gibberellic acid (GA3) application on plant height and stem elongation. Size of leaves and inflorescence was monitored as well, in order to check possibility of use of pelargonium as cut flower. Sample consisted of threegroups of plants and control group. The plants were treated with three different concentrations of gibberellic acid (GA3) 10 ppm, 20 ppm and 4o ppm. Neither one of used concentrations was not showed as toxic for pelargonium ; the results indicated that effect of use of gibberrellic acid (GA3) on lengthand size of inflorescence was statistically significant, while there was no significant effect on planth width.
