The aim of this study was to investigate the response of cultivation cycle, length, width and area leaf, to the growth retardant Daminozide, sprayed on the Chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora Tzvelev.) ‘Snowdon’ cultivated in pot. The study consisted of two experiments with five repetitions. The experiments were bifactorial 4 x 2, with four concentrations of Daminozide (0, 2.000, 4.000 and 6.000 mg.L-1) and two frequencies of application (weekly and bi-weekly) of product. Cultivation cycle, leaf length, width and area were determined. The ‘Snowdon’ was able to produce pots commercially acceptable, with increase in the cultivation cycle and decrease of the leaf size.
