This study aimed to find a suitable size and a seedling raising stage for growing cuttings of Euonymus fortunei 'Emerald and Gold' using plug trays. The experimental method, involved cutting two nodes from a solitary branch of E. fortunei 'Emerald and Gold', and the use of 32 (143 mL/cell), 50 (70 mL/cell), 105 (18 mL/cell), 200 (13 mL/cell) plug trays. The cuttings were transplanted to trays after they were filled with a universal horticultural medium. To compare the growths, plant heights, the numbers of leaves, longest root lengths, thickness/radius ratios, dry weights, and fresh weights were measured from July to October, and statistical analyses were performed using both the two-way repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's post-test. The results confirmed that the size of the plug tray and the seedling raising stage had a significant effect on the growth of E. fortunei 'Emerald and Gold.' In addition, the overall growth was high and the change in growth was relatively rapid in districts 50 and 105. Therefore, it can be considered appropriate to use 50 and 105 trays when growing cuttings of E. fortunei 'Emerald and Gold' on plug trays.

The objective of this study was to exam early stages of plant growth of Euonymus fortunei 'Emerald and Gold' and Hedera japonica grown in fabric felt bag attached on vertical greenery system with the ratio of hydrophilic polymer to substrate, 0(referred as Control), 0.1, 0.2, or 0.4% (v/v), in order to effectively utilize rainfall for low maintenance. After rainfall, the increase in volumetric water content of substrate amended with the hydrophilic polymer was between 13% and 87%, compared to that in Control. During drought period, higher ratio of hydrophilic polymer to substrate slowly decreased the volumetric water content, and increased plant height, leaf length, leaf width, number of leaves, branch number, and stem diameter of both Euonymus fortunei 'Emerald and Gold' and Hedera japonica with the highest fresh and dry weights of shoots or roots under the 0.1% ratio of hydrophilic polymer.

본 연구는 저관리형 옥상녹화에서 보수성을 높일 수 있는 식재지반을 조성하기 위해 친수성 중합체인 hydrophilic polymer의 효용성을 평가하고자 현장실험을 수행하였다. Hydrophilic polymer의 농도는 각각 인공배합토 100kg을 기준으로 0%(대조구), 1.0%, 2.5%, 5.0%, 10% 등 총 5가지로 구성하였다. 가로 1.0m, 세로 1.0m, 높이 0.3m로 자체 제작한 실험구에 2013년 5월 20일에 각각 10반복의 식물을 정식하였으며 식재기반 내 토양용적수분함량을 모니터링하였다. 또한 현재 이용되는 수종인 눈향나무, 황금줄사철나무 등의 목본류와 잠재종으로 가능성이 높은 통보리사초, 좀보리사초 등의 사초류를 중심으로 식물생육을 측정하였다. 토양의 hydrophilic polymer의 농도에 따른 토양용적수분 함량은 강수량과 상관없이 2.5%이상의 hydrophilic polymer 처리구에서 97%~98%로, 100%에 가까운 토양용적수분 함량을 보였다. 강우 후 27일 동안 토양용적수분함량이 대조구에서 50%~60%를 보인 반면, 1.0%의 hydrophilic polymer 처리구에서는 70%~80%로 약 20%가 증가되었다. 식물생육을 조사한 결과, 황금줄사철나무와 통보리사초는 2.5% 처리구에서 가장 생육이 좋았고, 눈향나무는 1.0% 처리구, 좀보리사초는 0%(대조구)에서 생육상태가 가장 양호하였다. hydrophilic polymer 1.0% 처리구와 2.5% 처리구에서는 모든 식물이 생존하였으나 5.0%와 10.0%의 처리구에서는 식재 후 3개월 이내에 모두 고사하였다. 이는 hydrophilic polymer 배합비는 수종별 특성에 따라 다르게 적용되어야 함을 보여준 결과라 할 수 있다.
