GENERAL KNOWLEDGE EXAMINATION – 250 POINTS
Fifty objective-type multiple-choice questions will be written that cover the areas of the floriculture industry reflected in the event
objectives. This phase of the event will test participants’ knowledge and understanding of basic biological and scientific principles of
producing and marketing flowers, plants and foliage. Each participant will be allowed 30 minutes to complete this phase of the
event. Each answer has a value of five points. The contents of the exam will come from the previous five (5) years of General
Knowledge Exams from the National FFA Floriculture Career Development Event. This will exclude the last National test due to
release date.
PROBLEM-SOLVING/DECISION-MAKING –50 POINTS
Each participant will solve five problems related to the various aspects of the floriculture industry identified in the event
objectives. A problem-solving activity is defined as:
“A mental or physical activity involving the gathering or searching of information and the use of a logical
solution process using commonly accepted standards and available information to solve a problem specific to
a particular area of floriculture production or retailing.”
Each question will describe the situation associated with or creating a problem and list four possible solutions. The participant must
decide on the best possible solution to the question. All materials and information necessary to solve the question will be available
to the participant as he or she solves the problem. Each participant will be allowed 25 minutes to complete this phase of the event.
Each correct solution has a value of 10 points.
Sample Problem
Situation: You are the owner of the “Flower City” florist shop. You received an order for a floral arrangement to be
delivered to one of your regular customers. You give the order to one of your employees and ask that it be ready by
delivery time. When the employee brings the finished arrangement to you for packing and delivery, you notice a problem
with the arrangement. The arrangement set before you is the arrangement made by the employee. You realize that the
problem must be corrected before the arrangement can be delivered. What would you tell your employee to do to the
arrangement to correct the problem?
Possible Solutions:
a. Move smaller flowers to the top of the arrangement and larger flowers to the bottom of the arrangement.
b. Add a focal point to the arrangement.
c. Use some different plant materials to add texture to the arrangement.
d. Change the color of the flowers to make the colors compatible.
IDENTIFICATION OF PLANT MATERIALS – 200 POINTS
Forty specimens from the Floriculture Plant Identification List (included with the scorecard) will be displayed for participants to
identify by technical and common names. Each specimen will be designated by a number. Five points will be awarded for each
specimen that is correctly identified. Each participant will be allowed 25 minutes to complete this phase of the event. Plant material
identification will be in the same 25-minute rotation with tool identification.
IDENTIFICATION OF EQUIPMENT – 50 POINTS
Ten equipment samples from the modified national equipment identification list will be displayed for participants to identify. A
number will designate each sample. Five points will be awarded for each specimen that is correctly identified. Each participant
will be allowed 25 minutes to complete the identification part of the event. Tool Identification will be in the same 25-minute
rotation with plant material identification.
FLORAL ARRANGEMENT – 100 POINTS
Make a $35 flower arrangement. The type of arrangement will be selected from the following list:
● Round Centerpiece
● Triangle (non-centerpiece)
● Horizontal
Each will be made using a 1/3 brick container.
Use the materials provided. Participants will be allowed 25 minutes to complete their arrangements (85 points) and itemized bills
(15 points).FLORICULTURE HANDBOOK 2017–2022 4
Participants will be provided the retail price of the flowers and foliage they will use in their arrangements by the event assistant at
the beginning of the practicum. The markup will be built into the retail price of the flowers and foliage used in the arrangement.
When the participant has determined the total arrangement cost, he or she has already included the markup. Retail cost of
flowers and foliage given to the participant will be determined after polling florists to determine their current retail prices on the
flowers and foliage used in the event. A 50 cent over/under with no penalty rule for the arrangement scorecard
Explanation of Floral Arrangement Terms
● Category Interpretation (Design): Design follows ● Focal Emphasis: Design has one area of design that
objective scenario given attracts the eye to it

MAKE AND PACKAGE A CORSAGE – 75 POINTS
Make and package a $15 corsage. The type of corsage and information about the corsage will be announced by the event
assistant in charge at the beginning of the practicum. All plant and non-plant materials needed to construct and package the
corsage will be provided. Participants should be knowledgeable and possess skills in the use of glue when making a corsage. Each
participant will be allowed 25 minutes to complete the construction of the corsage and complete an itemized bill. Participants
will be provided the retail price of flowers and foliage that they will use in their corsage by the event official at the beginning of
the practicum. The markup is built into the retail price of the flowers and the foliage used in the arrangement. A 50 cent
over/under with no penalty rule for the corsage scorecard. This practicum will be a part of the event every year.
PRACTICUMS – 150 POINTS
Each participant will complete the Floral Arrangement practicum, the Make and Package a Corsage practicum, Potting Plant
Cuttings, and Asexual Propagation. Each participant will provide his or her own florist shears, knife, and pencils for this phase of
the event.
The following information describes each practicum.
1. Potting Plant Cuttings (75 pts.)
Plant five rooted cuttings in the pot provided. (Each participant will be given 10 cuttings from which to select five; a 3-to-6-inch pot;
a 1:1 soil mixture at the correct moisture level; and a marking pencil.) Ten minutes will be allowed for completion of this practicum,
including the judging of the potted plant cuttings.
2. Asexual Propagation of Plants (75 pts.)
Each participant will be provided the parent plant materials and all other materials needed to propagate plants asexually. Using the
available materials, participants will take five cuttings from the plant before them and place them in rooting media. Ten minutes will
be allowed for completion of this practicum including the judging of the participant’s performance.FLORICULTURE HANDBOOK 2017–2022 5
