Microalgae are gaining attention as a sustainable and efficient alternative in modern agriculture due to their biostimulant biofertilizer effects, which promote plant growth improve resistance abiotic stress factors. Their effectiveness vary according factors such concentration stage. This study evaluates the potential of Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris) stimulate various parameters, including growth, biomass, leaf development, flowering. The trial was carried out greenhouse, using Pelargonium × hortorum plants grown on coconut fiber substrate. A nested factorial design applied, with treatments control (irrigation water only) four experimental groups microalgae applied at concentrations 0.1 g L−1 1 L−1, harvested stationary or exponential phases. experiment repeated autumn spring assess seasonal effects. Variables height, diameter, number leaves flowers, well fresh dry weight different organs were measured. In addition, area determined. results indicate that higher application rates (1 L−1) increased nitrate, phosphate, potassium levels, highlighting role C. improving nutrition. especially phase, promoted advanced flowering hortorum. conclusion, shows significant an agricultural biofertilizer, promoting
