“…The shrub is native to Mexico, South America and the Caribbean (Okunlola, 2013). D. erecta plays a significant role in environmental beautification and management; making public parks, gardens and houses more conducive for relaxation and enjoyment as an ornamental plant (Day and Loveys, 1998;Said, 2016). D. erecta increases the economic value of a property if properly placed in a landscape it can provide practical solutions for physical site problems with their durable aesthetic satisfaction (Okunlola, 2013).…”

Duranta erecta is popularly grown as an ornamental plant in tropical and semi-tropical gardens. Current demands for the shrub have prompted the need for effective propagation methods. In this study, the influence of indole-3butyric acid (IBA) hormone concentration and media on rooting of D. erecta propagated from tip cuttings under greenhouse conditions were investigated. IBA hormone was used in three concentrations (2500, 5000, and 7500 ppm) and 0 ppm was the control. The study consisted of three media types (river sand, pine bark, a mixture of peat and perlite at a 1:1 ratio). The experiment was arranged in a 3×4 factorial layout in Randomized Complete Block Design replicated 3 times. Cutting survival, root length and number, shoot length and number were analysed. There was no interaction (P>0.001) between IBA concentration and media for all the measured parameters. The results showed that the optimum concentration of IBA is 5000 ppm, beyond which were inhibitory in all parameters except on root length. Type of media influenced survival and shoot number with pine bark giving the highest but did not affect root number, root length and shoot number.

“…The significant (P≤0.01) combined effect of genotype by cutting interaction on days to opening of apical bud and shoot development gave an insight of the selection of right physiological age of cuttings for the propagation of different genotypes (Table 3). Success of rooting of woody stem cuttings, in the majority of ornamental plants and fruit trees depends mainly on the physiological stage of the mother plant (Day and Loveys, 1998).…”

Propagation potentials of stem cuttings of different physiological ages and genotypes of Jatropha curcas were studied at UKM, Malaysia. Stem cuttings of the different physiological ages (hardwood, semi hardwood and soft wood) taken from five selected genotypes of Jatropha and were planted soil media (top soil). Data were collected on the attributes of the stem cuttings and were analyzed using computer based software, SAS version 9.01. The study showed significant variability in shoot and root development and growth of shoots of the three physiological ages of cuttings and five genotypes. Semi hardwood stem cuttings had lower days to opening of new bud and shooting (4.84 and 11.70, respectively) as well as higher percentage of sprouted and rooted cuttings of 100.00% and 98.47%, respectively. Soft wood cuttings took higher days to opening of new bud and shoot development in all the five genotypes. Soft wood cuttings also showed lower percentage of rooted cuttings. Semi hard wood cuttings were found more suitable for the vegetative propagation of Jatropha curcas through stem cutting which gave more than 98% success. Genotypic differences were observed in shooting and rooting of Jatropha. Genotype JC 14 performed better in all three types of cutting compared to other four genotypes.

“…Based on Table 2, semihardwood cuttings showed significant performance compared to seedlings and softwood cuttings. Previously, [9] and [10] concluded that in the most ornamental plants, the success of woody stem cuttings depends on types of cutting, environmental conditions and species rooted. In this experiment, semi-woody cuttings produced the highest plant and vigorous branch and leaves.…”

Christia vespertilionis also known as butterfly wing plant is an ornamental and valuable medicinal plant grown in tropical and subtropical regions. Despite the importance, not much attention has been given to study economical propagation methods of C. vespertilionis. This work aims to evaluate between sexual (seeds) and vegetative (cuttings and in vitro) propagation techniques in terms of their viability and growth. Pretreatment of seeds showed that wet paper towel was observed induced a higher percentage of germination rate as compared to other treatments. A comparison between two types of cuttings indicated semi hardwood part propagated better than the softwood part. In the present study, in vitro shoot proliferation was obtained by culturing nodal node segments in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/L of 6-Benzyl amino purine (BAP). However, no root development was observed when well-developed shoots were transferred on rooting medium supplemented with various concentrations of Indolebutyric acid (IBA). We conclude that C. vespertilionis appear to propagate easily using seeds and semi-woody cuttings. Further investigation of in vitro propagation could potentially be used for future conservation and sustainable production of C. vespertilionis.
