Effects of different substrates on the growth of cuttings of Cinnamomum camphora

Taking one-year-old Cinnamomum camphora cutting seedlings for the object, studies were made of the effects of three different mediums on the growth of leaves, roots and plants of the cutting seedlings.The results showed that the influence of different growing mediums on the cutting seedling growth index were various.And perlite was benifitcial to the single leaf and root growth of cutting seedlings and the survival rate was the highest, reaching 38.4%, which was significantly higher than the compound soil and rice chaff ash.However, rice chaff ash was conducive to the leaf area and leaf fresh weight of the whole plant and the height and ground diameter of the cutting seedlings.So different growth mediums played varied different roles in the growth of aboveground and underground parts of the cutting seedlings.
