Abstract
As traditional growing media, such as perlite and vermiculite, are becoming a limited resource and more difficult to obtain, options for more sustainable alternatives are being sought. This project looks to test the root production on cuttings of two woody plants (boxwood and holly) when propagated using a small scale aeroponic cloner versus in a traditional perlite and vermiculite medium. If the cloners prove to be as effective as traditional media, they could become a keystone of UVM greenhouse sustainability, and be utilized by PSS faculty and students by working with equipment that is at the forefront of the industry.
