PENGARUH KOMPOSISI MEDIA TANAM DENGAN KONSENTRASI PUPUK CAIR TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN TANAMAN ANGGREK DENDROBIUM (Dendrobium sp.)
Abstract: Orchids are very
popular ornamental plant because it has a diverse kind. The flowers are used
for various purposes. One way to increase the growth of Dendrobium orchid by
using a mixture of planting media and fertilizer through the leaves, because
the fertilizer is already contained nutrients needed by plants orchid. The
study aimed to obtain the composition of planting medium with a good
concentration of liquid fertilizer for the growth of Dendrobium orchid
(Dendrobium sp.) and conducted experimentally at Gerai Tanaman Hias Intan
Bertuah in Jl. Arifin Ahmad, Pekanbaru, Riau by using Rancangan Acak Kelompok
(RAK) consist of 9 treatment (media fern, wood charcoal, coconut husk, broken
bricks with Growmore concentrations of 0.5, 1. 5 and 2.5 g/liter of water) with
3 replications. Each experimental unit contained 3 plants and 81 population.
The parameters measured were the number of shoots, plant height, stem diameter,
leaf length and leaf number. The results showed that treatment with the
composition of planting media with concentration of Growmore fertilizer had not
significant effect on all parameters was observed that the number of shoots,
plant height, stem diameter, leaf length and number of leaves, whereas
treatment ferns planting media composition, wood charcoal, coconut fiber with
Growmore 1.5 g/liter of water gives the best results for the parameters of the
number of shoots, plant height and number of leaves on the growth of Dendrobium
orchids (Dendrobium sp.).
