Abstract
Micropropagated Spathiphyllum shoots were cultured in a microponic system to investigate the effect of five mixtures of growing media having different physico-chemical properties on rooting, growth, and photosynthesis. Plantlet growth and root development (fresh weight and dry weight of roots and shoots; number of leaves per plantlet; shoot length; number of roots per plantlet) were greatest in a growing media mixed of peat moss:carbonized rice hull:vermiculite (1:1:1). The plantlets grown in this mixture of growing media also exhibited increased leaf relative water content, stomatal conductance, and net photosynthetic rate, characteristics that led to overall improved growth and acclimatization. Our results suggest that the ex vitro growth of plantlets are greatly affected by physical and the chemical characteristics of growing media.
