Breeding Projects
Floricultz specializes in breeding vegetatively propagated ornamental plants. This includes everything from providing breeding support services to contract breeding. When managing breeding projects, we handle the breeding material either through all stages of the breeding process or during specific stages only. We are also happy to take on project management jobs for a limited period of time.
We breed to our clients' specifications. Our clients include floriculture businesses with in-house breeding programmes and breeding companies wishing to respond flexibly to changing market requirements. We also support growers and other businesses that need a plant breeder just temporarily. Floricultz' support services cover all aspects of successful ornamental plant breeding.

Plant breeding is a long-term job. Breeding projects sometimes take several years before they produce yields. It is difficult to calculate just how long it will take to actually achieve successful breeding. However, an experienced partner like Floricultz provides the foundations for success. Our track record of plant breeding speaks for itself.
