Experiment Title Standardization of propagation technique for Zamioculcus zamifolia L.
Research Type Departmental Research
Experiment Background Zamioculcus zamifolia is gaining high popularity and highly priced as succulent plant indoor with higher application as table pot plant for urban horticulture. Zamioculcas zamiifolia mainly propagated by division – simply separating or cutting the plant roots into two clumps and replanting them. It is possible to propagate either by single leaflet, apical leaflet section, basal leaflet section, rachis cutting and whole leaf, single leaflet, apical leaflet section, basal leaflet section or rachis cutting leaf cuttings or leaflets. IBA has strong roles in various aspects of root development including regulation of root apical, meristem size, root hair elongation, lateral root development and formation of adventitious roots. IBA significantly increased the rate of root emergence in single noded leafy stem cutting. Rooting media play a vital role for plant propagation but soil alone as a rooting medium does not fulfil all requirements for obtaining better quality planting material. Rooting media are essential for improvement in rooting percentage and hence the standardize media combination assumes greater significance for success in vegetative propagation. In view of considering the above facts, the present investigation has been planned
