PROPAGATION BY LEAF BUD CUTTINGS OF LEUCADENDRON ‘SAFARI SUNSET’, LEUCOSPERMUM CORDIFOLIUM, LEUCOSPERMUM PATERSONII AND PROTEA OBTUSIFOLIA |
| Author: | J.A. Rodríguez Pérez |
| Abstract:
Leucadendron ‘Safari Sunset’, Leucospermum patersonii and Protea obtusifolia can be propagated on propagating beds provided with bottom heat (25 ± 2°C) and a mist system, using leaf bud cuttings, put under different treatments with IBA (0, 2 000, 4 000 and 8 000 ppm) and obtaining maximum percentages of transplantable cuttings of 20%, 31.25% and 10%, respectively. Although some Leucospermum cordifolium cuttings produced roots, they were not able to develop shoots. | |
