#The following observations, measurements and values describe a 21 month old plant of the new cultivar as grown in Kudelstaart, The Netherlands under conditions which closely approximate those generally used in commercial practice. ‘Deplarly’ is grown in a commercial greenhouse under 21 degrees Celsius day and night. No artifical lighting or photoperiodic treatments are conducted but ‘Deplarly’ is forced into flowery by adding acethylene. Highest temperature resistance is 40 degrees Celsius, the lowest is 5 degrees Celsius. The following fertilizer is added: 1 part nitrogen, 0.5 parts phosfor, 3 parts Kalium and 0.2 parts magnesium. From the start of tissue culture it takes five years to produce a commercial plant. The amount of time needed to produce a flower depends on the amount of acethylene is added. The flowers have a tenability of up to six months depending on the environment they are grown and kept in.
