I think you can induce flowering by covering the plant with a plastic bag and putting a cut fruit in with it.

It's not my method. It's just something I read that is supposed to help induce flowering. The ripening fruit is supposed to release a compound that causes the plant to produce flower buds. I'm not sure how well it works, but it's something you can try.

It is called ethylene gas. Every rotting green matter produces it. Banana, leaves etc.

Aaron, first you fatten the fellow. Then you goto sundry store to get some carbide en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbide_lamp or nursery to get some of those pellets which induces pinaapple to fruit. Then follow marigold's method. Ask your father about carbide... don't think many young people knows what it is.

Natural method... fatten then wait for cold weather.

I don't know if ethylene gas can induce flowering. Just going along with marigold's idea of using ripening fruit. So I surmise must be the gas. Pineapple uses concentrated form of ethylene in liquid form then spray on the waiting plants early in the morning. Rubber use ethylene to induce the tree to yield more latex, thought slight more water. With flowers... love to find out. Roses... troublesome plants full of thorns.

So it's called ethylene? If you can't get any carbide or pellets, a banana would work well. Especially since it ripens so fast.
