the plantlets are transferred to a normal greenhouse or open-air nursery, with nursery practices similar to those for rooted cuttings. When the plantlets reach a size and physiological condition suitable for outplanting, they are called plantlings. As with stecklings, the maturation state of the...
We have a variegated plant of this in the ground at our nursery in fairly poor, but dry soil, doing very well. My neighbor in Waimanalo also has one that is absolutely jamming and looking great. The soil there is also very dry but very sandy which allows for good drainage. Occasionally...

In our experience, the phytosanitary status of both propagation material and nursery plants is a crucial aspect determining the incidence and severity of the disease in new lemon plantings. To date, no single method is effective in controlling the Mal Secco of citrus. Common strategies of control...
since germination and vegetative propagation are highly dependent on abiotic factors [21,22,23], therefore in vitro PTC techniques are alternative ways to propagate such species, allowing the production of high number of clones, and running as a nursery for producing stock plants for ensuring the ...
Other options for the conservation of such species include tissue culture, cryopreservation, nursery-based plant collections and seed orchards (Figure 1). Figure 1. Decision tree showing conservation options depending on the type of germplasm conserved and some of the biological traits associated with...
Some many fun Snake Plants! I always love the displays atBerridge Nursery. Humidity Levels These plants don’t mind our homes and offices’ sometimes dry or stale air. They do fine with average household humidity levels. They’ll also do well in bathrooms where the humidity tends to be much...

Oil palm (Elaeis guineensisJacq.) In oil palm the harvested organ is the inflorescence (bunch). The most common quality measure is the so-called oil to bunch ratio. In agreement with the role of Mg for providing energy-rich carbohydrate compounds several studies revealed a significant increase ...
