The Effect of Different Substrates on Morphological Characteristics of Acclimatized Bowiea Volubilis

Before acclimatization of Bowiea volubilis, in vitro propagated bulbs were cleaned and separated into four sizes (from 6 to 15 mm). We formed a total 10 groups with 30-30 individuals, distributing the evenly. Four types substrate (peat, perlite, coconut fiber, sand) their mixtures 50-50% used. Previously we examined three parameters: length, diameter weight bulbs; later successfully acclimatized plants, number length roots leaves measured. The was done one greenhouses Buda Arboretum, where plants grown fleece covering till month, irrigated every days, without use nutrient replenishment artificial lighting. After 3 month period, survived developed effectively on peat + sand perlite mixtures. In these cases, achieved largest increases roots, green parts, weight.
