Effect of Different Nutrient Solutions on Three Foliage-ornamental Plants in Water Culture
[Objective] The purpose was to screen the optimum nutrients solution formula with low price. [Method] Three nutnen solutions (A, B, C) were prepared based on traditional formula of tissue culture and three kinds of foliage-ornamental plants (Variegate, C.comosum, Collinia & nbspelegans) were chosen to observe and compare the effects of three nutrient solutions on their growth under water culture. [Result] Three kinds of foliage-ornamental plants showed difference in different nutrient solutions and every foliage-ornamental plant had an optimum nutrient solution for its growth. Both C.comosum and Collinia & nbspelegans grew well in nutrient solution C and Variegate grew well in nutrient solution A too. C.comosum and Collinia & nbspelegans grew bad resp. in nutrients solution A and B. [Conclusion] In the suitable range of nutrients solution concentration, the nutrient solution with mineral nutrition element Fe in chelating state was propitious to the absorption of plant and the growth offoliage-ornamental plants.
