Influence of substratum type on shoot rooting of two species of Fuchsia – Fuchsia magellanica Lam. and F. triphylla L.

The results of studing influence of different substratum (water, sand, peat and perlite) on shoot rooting of two species of fuchsia – Fuchsia magellanica Lam. and Fuchsia triphylla L. are presented. It was established that Fuchsia magellanica formed roots better in perlite and sand, while Fuchsia triphylla – in peat and perlite. Fuchsia triphylla formed larger roots per shoot in comparison with Fuchsia magellanica in all substrata.
