Abstract
Plants of Chamaedorea elegans were grown in the Lath-house (55% shade), the glass greenhouse (70% shade) and the plastic greenhouse (44% shade) while plants of Ch. constricta were grown in the Lath-house and glass greenhouse only.
The plants at each growth location were supplied with three different rates of an NPK fertilizer (having an N : P : K ratio of 28 : 9 : 19). The, rates used were 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 gm fertilizer / pot /3 weeks.
Ch. elegans and Ch. constrict a plants gave the best greenhouse, with 70% shade.
The plants at each growth location were supplied with three different rates of an NPK fertilizer (having an N : P : K ratio of 28 : 9 : 19). The, rates used were 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 gm fertilizer / pot /3 weeks.
Ch. elegans and Ch. constrict a plants gave the best greenhouse, with 70% shade.
The lowest fertilization rate (2.5 gm NPK / pot/ 3 weeks) resulted in the best growth, regardless of the growth location.
