Effect of temperature on growth and flowering of Gypsophila paniculata cv. Bristol Fairy were studied. High flower qualities was obtained at day/night temperature of 25/20℃. Although high temperature (30/25℃ or lowland in summer) promotes early flowering, the plants are dwarf with short flowering stems and malformed flowers. Plants grown at 20/15℃ remained rosette after 7 months. It was found that decreased night temperature from 30/25℃ to 30/20 or 30/15℃, increased fresh and dry weight in tops and roots, flower number, and decreased the percentage of malformed flowers, The optimum temperature for photosynthesis is around 25℃. The respiratory rate is high at 30℃ (639 µl O2/gm•hr ) and the Q10 from 20℃ to 30℃ is 3.5.
