A unique ornamental epiphytic cactus Rhipsalis baccifera has a segmented dangling plant structure. This plant has a tip of the shoot that has a beautiful reddish color. Determining the best cutting number segment and media type executed in this study. This experiment used a randomized block design with two factors and four replications. One and two cutting segment is the first factor. Planting media type, i.e., rice-hull charcoal, rice-hull charcoal + zeolite, rice-hull charcoal + chopped ferns, and rice-hull charcoal + pumice was the second factor. The percentage of rooted cuttings at 100% and the growth percentage was 96.85%. No interaction was found between the two factors. For the best cuttings growth, we could cultivate this species using two-segment cuttings or using rice-hull charcoal + chopped fern as media.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
