Abstract:In order to solve the difficult problem of propagation of new superior cultivars of Bougainvillea spp., the young greening shoot cutting propagation of 6 cultivars are carried out by using floral foam. The results show that the rooting rate of young greening shoots of Bougainvillea spp. in floral foam matrix and peat + perlite (1:1) matrix are not significantly different, but both are significantly higher than that in perlite and sawdust matrix. Indolebutyric acid (IBA) has obvious rooting effect on greening shoots cuttings, and the concentration can be used from 100 to 300 mg/L. There are significant differences in rooting among different cultivars. The rooting rate of ‘Pixie Pink’is the highest (100%) , followed by‘Pixie Pink Variegata’(95.0%) ,‘Imperial Delight’ (72.0%), ‘Raspberry Ice’(71.0%), ‘Mrs. Eva Mauve Variegata’(61.0%), and ‘Thimma’ (54.0%). The best time for cutting is from the end of June to the beginning of August, and the rooting rate of cutting in this period is significantly higher than that in the middle of October. The survival rate of seedling transplanting with floral foam matrix is 100%.
