Abstract

This experiment was conducted to select the optimnm medium formula for a culture of Camellia japonica. Formulas were mixed with seven volume proportions of perlite，peat，coir fiber，sand，decomposed sawdust，and coal cinders. Bare soil was used as a control，and 2-year-old cuttings of C. japonica seedlings（‘Black Magic’，‘Miss Charleston Variegated’ and ‘Helen Bower’） were chosen as the planting material. In terms of plant height，trunk diameter，crown breadth，leaf width，root activity，leaf chlorophyll content，and soluble carbohydrate content，the results showed that perlite ∶ peat = 2 ∶ 1 was the best media formula for this soil-less culture. Compared with bare soil，C. japonica in the best media had greater plant height （34.3% － 42.9%），trunk diameter （17.2% － 26.0%），and crown breadth（11.3% － 32.9%）. In addition，chlorophyll content，root activity，and the soluble carbohydrate content were significantly（P＜0.05） better than the control with maximums of 2.48 mg·g－1，133.90 mg·g－1·h－1，and 22.7 g·kg-1，respectively. Also，physical and chemical properties，such as volume-weight（0.20 g·mL－1），porosity（73.00%），electric conductivity value（67 mS·m－1），and salt-base exchange（81.2 cmol·kg－1） were suitable for C. japonica cultivation. ［Ch，5 tab. 15 ref.］
