“…A previous study showed that Echeveria agavoides had relatively higher shoot height and shoot width in partial shading and shading compared to no shade, showing similar results as this study (Cabahug et al, 2017). Root length was longest under the 99% shading level at 21.26 cm.…”

Background and objective: Mesembryanthemum cordifolium is a plant belonging to the Aizoaceae family and is native to South Africa and Namibia. As a CAM plant, M. cordifolium exhibits strong resistance to drought stress and can be utilized for the removal of soil salinity and heavy metals. Furthermore, it is an important medicinal crop with anti-inflammatory and antidepressant effects. However, despite its potential benefits, research on the optimal growth environment for M. cordifolium remains scarce.Methods: Therefore, this study selected M. cordifolium f. variegata with high ornamental value as the experimental plant and compared the effects of different shading levels on the growth and leaf color quality of variegated baby sun rose (M. cordifolium f. variegata). Six shading levels (0, 35, 45, 60, 75, and 99%, respectively) were designed using polyethylene (PE) shading films.Results: The results showed that the shoot height, shoot width, dry weight, and chlorophyll content (SPAD units) were highest under the 60% shading level, while leaf length, leaf width, and fresh weight were highest under the 75% shading level. On the other hand, growth was relatively lower under the 0% shading level, which suggests that M. cordifolium f. variegata prefers shade over direct sunlight. On the contrary, M. cordifolium f. variegata showed growth even under the 99% shading level, proving to have strong shade tolerance, but the leaf color quality was lowerst.Conclusion: In conclusion, to significantly increase the size and biomass of plants and improve leaf color quality when cultivating M. cordifolium f. variegata under shading treatment, it is recommended to cultivate it under 60-75% shading levels.

“…Other studies showed that, in 4 weeks, Echeveria plants averaged 41.80 mm in height and 79.74 mm in diameter, resulting in a growth rate, per day, of 1.49 mm and 2.84 mm, respectively [ 51 ].…”

This research paper presents a case study analysis of the behavior of three Sedum varieties and their growth in three different types of substrates without additional watering or fertilizing. The study aims to identify a suitable substrate for propagation and to provide insight into the plant’s growth patterns. By analyzing the growth of the Sedum species and varieties—SS’PW’, SS’CB’, and SS’P’—without intervening in their growth process, we were able to identify factors that play a more crucial role in promoting root growth, plant growth, aesthetic value, and use. Over a 20-month period, various technical tools were employed to conduct observations and measurements for both plants and weather conditions. The type of substrate significantly affected plant growth, with the green roof substrate exhibiting the highest overall average monthly root growth rate (0.92 ± 0.05 d, 1.01 ± 0.05 b, 0.96 ± 0.05 c) while in the case of stem growth, among all three varieties, the best results were obtained in the commercial mix (0.87 ± 0.04 a, 0.40 ± 0.02 c, 0.35 ± 0.02 d). Based on the morphological analyses, all values were significantly lower than the control. Best results for leaf weight and surface area were noticed in the green roof substrate with an average growth of 46%, 53%, 55%, and for stem weight, length, and thickness in the commercial mix with 64%, 61%, and 55% compared to the control, respectively. Leaves had varying morphological characteristics, but the chromatic characteristics were preserved. The plants had an overall poor growth which may not be desirable in landscape designs. The findings of this study are applicable in the planning and execution of eco-friendly infrastructure initiatives, leading to the development of more robust and environmentally friendly urban settings.

“…Já no estudo de Kim;Kim (2015), mudas de Sedum middedorffianum enraizaram independente do sombreamento, porém o desenvolvimento das raízes foi maior na condição sem sombreamento. Avaliando duas espécies de Echeveria, Cabahug et al (2017) observaram que ambas apresentaram maior crescimento em altura sob sombreamento, entretanto o desenvolvimento foi considerado anormal em relação ao típico das espécies. Algumas espécies crassuláceas ainda respondem melhor ao aumento da intensidade luminosa e tempo de exposição à luz, como a Sedeveria 'Letizia', Echeveria 'Momotaro' e Graptoveria opalina, enquanto para a Sedum 'Sun Red' não há efeito (NAM et al, 2016).…”

O cultivo de plantas suculentas se popularizou no Brasil, aumentando a necessidade da compreensão do comportamento das espécies sob condições diferentes de produção. Assim, objetiva-se com este trabalho avaliar a influência de fertilizante enraizador, temperatura e luminosidade na emergência de brotações e raízes para espécies suculentas. Três experimentos foram conduzidos de novembro 2020 a fevereiro 2021, em casa de vegetação, com delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com quatro repetições, cada estudo com uma espécie: Echeveria elegans, Graptosedum Francesco Baldi e Sedum adolphii. Para cada espécie, os tratamentos foram arranjados em esquema fatorial (3x2), o fator A comparou fertilizante enraizador comercial e duas testemunhas (água e controle); e o fator B, as estacas foliares das espécies foram submetidas a dois ambientes de temperatura e luminosidade (24,8 oC e 449,8 µmol/m2s; 5 oC e 0 µmol/m2s). Avaliou-se aos 30 dias de instalação dos estudos: índice de velocidade de brotação; porcentagem de brotação; comprimento médio das raízes; comprimento médio do broto e massa seca total. O fertilizante beneficia a emissão de brotações e raízes na Echeveria elegans, porém tais efeitos não são verificados na ausência de luminosidade e baixa temperatura (5 oC). Esse ambiente também prejudicou as demais espécies avaliadas. Palavras-chave: Echeveria elegans; Graptosedum Francesco Baldi; Propagação; Sedum adolphii. Emergency of sprouts and roots of suculent species due to the application of rooting fertilizer, in contrasting environments ABSTRACT: The cultivation of succulent plants became popular in Brazil, increasing the need to understand the behavior of species under different conditions. Thus, the aim of this work is to evaluate the influence of plant rooting fertilizer, temperature, and light intensity on the emergence of new shoots and roots for succulent species. Three experiments were conducted from November 2020 to February 2021, in greenhouse, with completely randomized design, with four replications, each study with one species: Echeveria elegans, Graptosedum Francesco Baldi and Sedum adolphii. The treatments for each species were arranged in factorial scheme (3x2), factor A compared commercial plant fertilizer and two checks (water and control); and factor B, the leaf cuttings of the species were submitted to two environments in relation to temperature and light (24.8 oC and 449.8 µmol/m2s; 5 oC and 0 µmol/m2s). It was evaluated at 30 days of installation: sprouting speed index; sprouting percentage; average root length; average sprout length and total dry mass. The fertilizer benefits the emission of shoots and roots in Echeveria elegans, but such effects are not observed for absence of light and low temperature (5 oC). This environment also harmed the other species evaluated. Keywords: Echeveria elegans; Graptosedum Francesco Baldi; Propagation; Sedum adolphii.
