Zeoponic formula for plant growth media for ornamental plants Aglaonema siam aurora and Anthurium crystallinum

Abstract Plant growth media (PGM) play a crucial role in producing healthy and valuable ornamental plants. A good PGM has the suitable physical, chemical, biological properties that can help realize total development potential of One developed meets these requirements is zeoponic, made from zeolite, compost, cocopeat as raw materials, formulated specifically for Ornamental plants are horticultural commodities with high economic value driven by fast-growing demand. However, common problem cultivation unwanted degradation appearance leaves, e.g., turning into pale faded color. Hence, application an accurate dosage macro micro fertilizers on zeoponic boost enhance aesthetic With this mind, study aimed to find precise fertilizer formula, specially or even exclusively, The experiment was arranged factorial completely randomized design (CRD) two factors, namely (1) plant species consisting Aglaonema siam aurora Anthurium crystallinum , (2) different combinations N, P, K well fertilizers. Test parameters observed were height, number leaf length, width, chlorophyll, beauty. analysis carried out measuring pH, EC, available-N, available-P, cation exchange capacity, exchangeable bases, organic-C, micronutrients. This showed 0.375 g/l NPK best while 0.75 use highly recommended owing its chemical (e. g, neutral favorable EC CEC).
