Protocol for the Kalanchoe blossfeldiana Poelln. macropropagation
Journal Title: Biotecnología Vegetal - Year 2020, Vol 20, Issue 2
Abstract
Within the genus Kalanchoe Adans, the K. blossfeldiana Poelln species is the most popular for the beauty of its flowering. This constitutes one of the best known ornamental pot plants in the world, occupying one of the highest sales rates in Dutch auctions. Propagation in this species is carried out through traditional routes (seeds and cuttings) and tissue culture. In cut macropropagation it is recommended to use apical cuttings. However, to satisfy the high demand for this plant on the market, a macropropagation system is necessary that allows the use of various types of cuttings in unison in order to increase the number of explants to be used in each propagation cycle. In the present work, a protocol for the macropropagation of this species was developed from cuttings.
