Abstract

The effect of perlite and peat and perlite media on rooting of stem cuttings of Blue Girl holly in a subirrigation system was studied. The effects observed are attributed to medium moisture content, pH, or other physical or chemical properties of perlite and peat, but demonstrate that peat and perlite media in the range of 1:16 and 1:4 are satisfactory, and even superior to the use of perlite alone as a subirrigation rooting medium.
