Hydroponic culture of five species of Araceae plants

Hydropnic experiment on five species of Araceae plants, including Alocasia amazonica, Anthuriumandraeanum, Dieffenbachia Camilla , Monstera oblique Dwarf and Philodendron Xanadu with threeconcentrations of NAA and three kinds of nutrient solution was carried out. Through measuring the morphological andphysiological indexes, the optimum concentration of NAA and nutrient solution for the five species of Araceae plantswas found out. The results showed that the optimum concentration of NAA for M. Oblique Dwarf was 15 mg/L, whilefor other plants was 10 mg/L. Hoagland nutrient solution was the best hydroponic solution for Alocasiaamazonica,Dieffenbachia Camillaand Philodendron Xanadu. Steiner nutrient solution was the best for M. oblique Dwarf.Japanese garden general nutrient solution was the best for A. andraeanum.
