Abstract

Nowadays, Orchids are one of the most commercial products in flower markets. One of the propagation methods for Cymbidium is using old pseudobulbs that are thrown out after flowering period. This research carried out using standard Cymbidium back-bulbs based on randomized complete block design with 5 treatments in 3 replications. The trial traits were leaf length, root length, leaf number and root number that were studied for 180 days. The results show that minimum length of root was significant under different growth beds. The minimum percent of rooting was observed in pure sand treatment. The maximum length was observed in pure perlite. The shortest of leaves were gained in perlite + sand treatment and the maximum leaf length was observed in pure perlite treatment. The maximum average of root percent was seen in pure perlite treatment.
