INFLUENCE OF "OASIS" SUBSTRATUM ON PHALAENOPSIS SOILLESS CULTURE |
| Authors: | M.A. Cocozza Talia, B. De Lucia |
| Abstract:
The first results on the influence of a new inert substratum, called "Oasis", on the soilless culture of Phalaenopsis are reported. The two substrata mixtures compared have been: "Oasis (70%) + foam rubber (30%)" and "pine bark (70%) + pearlite (30%)". Micropropagated plants of two clones were utilized for each substratum: Mad Hatter Lippe and Yuki May. Results show that Phalaenopsis has a great adaptability to "oasis" substratum. The yield and flower quality are the same for both substrata. The Mad Hatter Lippe clone produced longer stem and a higher number of flowers for cluster. | |
