Video Spotlight: Drop Testing Superstars Petunias
September 3, 2025 Greenhouse Grower occasionally highlights a video that shines a spotlight on the controlled-environment industry, from crop protection advice to insider views on plant production at greenhouse operations across the country. Have you recently produced a video that you want us to highlight? If so, please send a link to Greenhouse Grower Multimedia Specialist Nick Matysik at [email protected].
Many greenhouses, nurseries, and commercial operations perform non-standardized “drop tests” on many varieties. These tests are conducted to both determine their durability in real-world conditions and to simulate and diagnose certain types of stress and damage that some of their plants may be experiencing. For those interested, Beekenkamp Plants recently demonstrated its drop testing methods on its line of Superstars Petunia series in a series of short videos.
Additional poinsettia drop tests, as well as more hands-on variety and technology highlights, can be found hosted on the Beekenkamp Plants YouTube channel.
