B-Nine: A plant growth regulator that slows stem elongation.
B-Nine is a commercially available plant growth regulator, sometimes used by gardeners and greenhouse growers, that is applied to certain plants to control their growth. It works by slowing down the elongation of stems, resulting in more compact and bushy plants. This can be desirable for some ornamentals, especially those grown in containers, as it can make them more attractive and easier to manage.
Using B-Nine should be done carefully and according to the product’s label instructions. It’s important to apply the correct amount at the right time, as overuse can have negative effects on plant growth. It is generally used on potted plants, bedding plants, and some flowering plants to create a fuller, more compact appearance.
