dc.description.abstractThe present study “Evaluation of various combinations of potting media on the growth of ornamental plants in outdoor vertical gardening” was carried out at Experimental area of Landscape Nursery, Department of Floriculture and Landscaping, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana during June 2019-2020 to workout best combinations of potting media for the growth of Syngonium podophyllum, Dracaena compacta (Red), Kalanchoe blossfeldiana, Dracaena reflexa and Pedilanthus tithymaloides by using the following treatments, T1: Soil + FYM + Cocopeat (50:25:25), T2: Soil + FYM + Cocopeat (25:50:25), T3: Soil + FYM + Cocopeat (25:25:50), T4: Soil + Vermicompost + Cocopeat (25:50:25) and T5/Control: Soil + FYM (50:50). Each treatment contained 15 plants replicated thrice under the Completely Randomized Block Design. The result of the experiment showed that T4: Soil + Vermicompost + Cocopeat (25:50:25) proved to be the best for improvement of vegetative parameters, enhancing the leaf nutrient content, rooting parameters, and also the attractive foliage of the selected ornamental plants. The minimum value of all the observations recorded was found to be in T5/Control: Soil + FYM (50:50). Thus the present investigation revealed that among all the treatments used, T4: Soil + Vermicompost + Cocopeat (25:50:25) was found more effective which may be due to the more nutrient content of the vermicompost as compared to all other growing media used in the experiment.en_US
