Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate growth responses at 45 days after cutting in six Sedum cultivars (S. reflexum 'Blue Spruce', S. rupestre 'Angelina', S. sexangulare, S. sexangulare var. elatum, S. spurium 'Atropurpureus', S. takesimense) using vegetation mats (individual coir tape and jute treated with different thicknesses and soil compositions) to broaden usefulness of evergreen Sedum cultivars. All the treatments including both single and interaction between treatments showed significant effects (p<0.001) on the number of branches, plant height, and shoot fresh weight except the number of branches treated with different mat types. No. of branches was showed two times in compost than in sand regardless of cultivars and mat types with the exception of S. takesimense showing no added branches in all treatments. Each plant height of all the cultivars except 'Angelina' showed the highest value under the conditions treated with 5 mm thick coir tape using compost. The fresh weight of 'Blue Spruce' treated with 5 mm thick coir tape using compost was 13.19 g of which value was the highest in all treatments. The better growth response in all Sedum cultivars was shown in the treatment of 5 mm thick coir tape than with jute net treatment.
