Ornamental potential and commercial quality of Anthurium solitarium grown in bamboo compost

ABSTRACT Anthurium solitarium Schott is a species that might be used both as potted plant and cut foliage, but it is indispensable to have an adequate substrate to achieve desirable growth and commercial standard. Thus, the present research aimed at evaluating the ornamental potential and commercial quality of Anthurium solitarium grown in bamboo compost. The experimental design was in randomized blocks, with six substrates and three replicates with five plants in each experimental plot. Seedlings were grown for 270 days in substrates containing different percentages (v:v) of bamboo compost (B...
