This study investigates the effects of different stem cutting types and soilless media on vegetative and rooting growth. The research aimed to identify optimal conditions for enhancing plant development through a comparative analysis of various cutting methods (e.g., softwood, hardwood, semi-hardwood) and soilless media (e.g., peat moss, perlite, vermiculite, and their combinations). Using a controlled experimental setup, we assessed parameters such as root formation, shoot growth, and overall plant health. Our results indicate significant variations in rooting success and vegetative growth across different combinations of cutting types and media. Specifically, certain media facilitated faster root development and healthier vegetative growth compared to others. Additionally, the type of stem cutting also influenced the efficiency of rooting and subsequent plant vigor. These findings provide valuable insights for optimizing propagation techniques and selecting appropriate soilless media to enhance plant production in various horticultural and agricultural applications.
