Which of the following is a category included in greenhouse floriculture?

• A. Fruit trees
• B. Cacti
• C. Bedding plants
• D. Ornamental grasses

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is understanding what kinds of plants are produced in greenhouse floriculture, which focuses on ornamental flowering and colorful plants used in gardens and displays. Bedding plants are a classic category in this field because they are grown specifically to be transplanted into garden beds and containers to provide seasonal color. They’re bred and managed for rapid growth, uniform quality, and frequent turnover, all of which align with the goals of greenhouse floriculture.

Fruit trees, by contrast, are orchard crops grown for fruit production and are not typically treated as a primary category of greenhouse floriculture. Cacti are succulents often grown as specialty or houseplants; while they can be cultivated in greenhouses, they’re not the standard focus of floriculture aimed at flowering ornamentals. Ornamental grasses are used in landscape design and can be grown in greenhouses, but they’re not the main category emphasized in greenhouse floriculture, which centers on bedding and other flowering ornamentals.
