Abstract

An investigation on ecofriendly and sustainable soilless growing media on growth traits of potted syngonium was carried out during 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 and the results showed viz., maximum plant height (cm) (50.30, 50.24, 50.27), number of leaves/plant (32.87, 32.87, 32.87), leaf length (cm) (24.01, 23.77, 23.89), plant spread East-West (cm) (40.07, 39.83, 39.95), plant spread North- South (cm) (38.53, 38.29, 38.41), petiole length (cm) (21.90, 21.38, 21.64) and petiole girth (mm) (4.48, 4.40, 4.44) was recorded in T9: Cocopeat + Vermiculite + FYM + Vermicompost (1:1:1:1 V/V). While the maximum leaf width (cm) (14.13, 13.95, 14.04) was recorded in T12: Cocopeat + Wood Biochar + FYM + Vermicompost (1:1:1:1 V/V). Whereas, the maximum leaf area per plant (cm2) (1544.00, 1538.40, 1541.20), fresh weight of leaf (g) (2.45, 2.35, 2.40), dry weight of leaf (g) (0.36, 0.35, 0.35), plant biomass (g) (9.09, 8.99, 9.04), root length (cm) (43.45, 43.21, 43.33) and number of roots per plant (26.07, 26.07, 26.07) was recorded in T9: Cocopeat + Vermiculite + FYM+ Vermicompost (1:1:1:1 V/V) during 2023, 2024 and pooled respectively.
