Producing or promoting the formation and development of flowers; causing flowering.
From Latin flos (flower) plus -genic (producing), ultimately from Greek genos meaning origin or source. The suffix indicates something that generates or causes the thing named.
Some florigenic treatments, like applying gibberellic acid to plants, can force flowering out of season—this is how florists make poinsettias bloom on command for December sales.
