In the present study, we aimed to establish an efficient cultivation method for Tillandsia ionantha, which is commonly known as an air plant and is distributed as an ornamental succulent. This species was cultivated using non-substrate cultivation methods in a controlled environment, and the influence of various light spectra on its growth was inve...

Betula platyphylla var. japonica, a member of the Betulaceae family, is a temperate landscape tree species with significant industrial value. This study investigated the effects of short-term dry-cold treatment periods that ranged from 0 to 60 days on the germination success of B. platyphylla var. japonica seeds and their post-germination growth an...

Background and objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of different types and concentrations of exogenous auxins on growth and rooting ability of Philodendron hederaceum var. oxycardium stem cuttings. Methods: Auxins used included indole acetic acid (IAA) at concentrations of 80, 160, and 320 mg⋅L-1, and 3-indolebutyric acid (IBA) an...

This study investigates the influence of different light qualities, including red, green, blue, purple, and white lights, on the growth, physiological activity, and ornamental characteristics of two Coleus cultivars. Emphasizing the importance of leveraging phenotypic plasticity in plants within controlled environments, using light quality is a pra...

Cichorium intybus, a leafy vegetable belonging to the Asteraceae family, is known for its potential health benefits and the inclusion of various bioactive compounds and indigestible oligosaccharides that improve liver function and aid in fatigue recovery. In this study, we evaluated the effects of light-emitting diode (LED) light qualities on the g...

Background: Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, a medicinal plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family, is commonly used as a health-promoting tea in China. This study investigated and analyzed the improvements in S. miltiorrhiza growth, external quality, vegetation indices, and photosynthetic performance through photoperiod control. Methods and Results: The s...

This study investigated the suitable shading levels for Peperomia species and cultivars, a genus within the Piperaceae family known for its ornamental value as an indoor plant. We examined the effects of four different shading levels (45, 60, 75, and 99 %) using polyethylene (PE) shading films on four Peperomia species and cultivars, namely: P. obt...

Orostachys spp., considered economically important succulent plants for both the medicinal and ornamental plant industries, are known to exhibit slow growth in their offsets during the long, cold winter months. Due to the slow growth, this study investigated the application of gibberellic acid (GA3) and determined the optimal GA3 concentration (con...

Peperomia, the commonly cultivated house plants, are known for their superior shade tolerance, and suitability as ornamental indoor plants. Here, the effects of different color temperatures of white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) were experimentally investigated on Peperomia. Three white LEDs with different color temperatures of 3000, 4100, and 6500...

Background and objective: The genus Viola, a member of the Violaceae family, is renowned for its ornamental flower crops. Additionally, Viola species are relatively pest-resistant and easy to manage. They are widely used in gardens, and some of their flowers are even edible. In this study, our focus was on V. cornuta cv. Penny Red Wing (hereinafter...

Sedum nussbaumerianum, a succulent plant belonging to the Crassulaceae family, exhibits various leaf colors, including red, yellow, and green, and produces white to pinkish flowers, making it a species with high ornamental value.
