Razmnoževanje s potaknjenci je najpomembnejša in najpogosteje uporabljena metoda vegetativnega razmnoževanja rastlin v okrasnem vrtnarstvu. V verigi proizvodnje sadik se pridelovalci poslužujejo različnih tehnik in metod, da bi zagotovili oziroma ohranili karseda kakovosten rastlinski material. Zaradi selitve večjih svetovnih pridelovalcev zelnatih...
Gardening for pollinators and other flower-visiting insects, where ornamental landscaping plants are added to provide habitats and foraging resources, may provide substantial benefits to declining insect populations. However, plant recommendations often lack empirical grounding or are limited geographically. Here, we created a pollinator garden, re...
Incessant development and introduction of novel cultivars with improved floral attributes are vital in the dynamic ornamental industry. Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium) is a highly favored ornamental plant, ranking second globally in the cut flower trade, after rose. Development of new chrysanthemum cultivars with improved and innovative mo...
Iturbide is in the northeast of Mexico and has a rich native and exotic flora; however, there are no ethnobotanical records, therefore, it requires attention in the documentation of traditional knowledge and practices of its botanical resources. In 2021, twelve field trips were carried out, applying 110 semi-structured interviews. Plant samples wer...

The increasing presence of online plant shops is continually captivating a larger community and casually changing the lifestyle and purchasing habits of people. Specifically, the availability of social media as a purchasing channel in this current pandemic enables a convenient means of buying ornamental plants. This paper aims at exploring the perc...
Pelargonium × hortorum (L.H. Bailey), is a South African native ornamental plant with worldwide commercial recognition used in gardens and terraces. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of low doses of UV-C irradiation on rooting performance of P. × hortorum stem cuttings. We also tested the hypothesis that UV-C-induced ethylene productio...
V raziskavi, ki smo jo izvedli v okolici Novega mesta, smo se osredotočili na spreminjanje rastlinske pestrosti in razloge za to v obhišnih vrtovih. Poudarek smo dali vrtovom ob hišah na podeželju. Obiskali smo nekaj več kot dvajset vrtov, na podlagi katerih smo ocenili značilnosti le-teh v opazovanem okolju. Natančno smo popisali in fotografirali ...

The extraction method used to obtain biologically active compounds from microalgal biomass may affect the biostimulant capacity of the microalgae. The objective of this assay was to determine the most efficient extraction method to release the active components of the biomass of Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris). Plantlets of Pelargonium × hortorum ...
