Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Soilless Media Effects on Physiological and Ornamental Quality of Potted Syngonium

Studies were carried out to find the effect of sustainable and eco-friendly soilless media on the physiology and quality of syngonium during 2023-2024 and 2024-2025. The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design replicated thrice with thirteen treatments. The physiological parameters viz., the maximum leaf area index (2.47, 2.46 and 2.47), specific leaf weight (g/cm2) (0.008, 0.007 and 0.008) and the minimum specific leaf area (cm2/g) (129.89, 135.41 and 132.64) was recorded in T9: Cocopeat + Vermiculite + FYM + Vermicompost (1:1:1:1 V/V) during 2023, 2024 and pooled respectively. In case of quality parameters the highest chlorophyll content (SPAD units) (52.17, 51.87 and 52.02), visual plant grade (4.80, 4.80 and 4.80), visual colour grade (4.87, 4.60 and 4.73), vase life of cut foliage (days) (35.73, 36.13 and 35.93) and insitu longevity of leaves (days) (90.97, 91.27 and 91.07) was recorded in T9: Cocopeat + Vermiculite + FYM+ Vermicompost (1:1:1:1 V/V) during 2023, 2024 and pooled respectively.
