Influence of the light environment, cutting size, and existence of roots on the survival and regrowth of an invasive species, <i>Epipremnum aureum</i>

Understanding the regrowth condition and pattern for vine plant Epipremnum aureum is important effective removal of this invasive species. The purpose study was to clarify influence light environment, size body, existence roots on survival a piece body E. aureum. We surveyed cuttings different sizes under three conditions representing outside, edge, inside forests (Experiment 1), with or without 2). In Experiment 1, we observed high mortality outside forests, but confirmed higher rate probability at forest edges forests. Even one leaf stem root could regrow low intensity, whereas amount regrown organs tissue larger cutting. 2, number increased more rapidly initial than those roots, although increasing cutting size. small pieces no frequently survived regrew intensity. This indicates that should not be left during work.
