Results from table 8 shows that Mariachi Pinkregistered significant differences concerningthe number of flowers/stem. The difference was2.92 pieces, which exceed the control cultivar.Concerning the results from Table 9 neithersolutions influenced favorable the no. ofpetals/flowers. Bell Fleur generates a differenceof 0.33 cm, but it is not statistically assured.Table 9.

Results shows that neither cultivarinfluenced favorable the stem length.The best nutrient solution regarding the numberof leaves was Vitalife, which achieved a verysignificant difference. The solutions like BellFleur and Floralife registered significantpositive difference. Regarding the cultivarinfluence, Mariachi Pink shows a distinctsignificant difference, that exceed the controlwith 7,67 pieces.292
