Description
Summary:Anubias, water ornamental plants (Anubias sp) are exotic water ornamental plants from Africa that have a high economic value. Apart from its potential economic value, there are still many obstacles faced in the process of aquaculture. One of them is related to the propagation and a slow growth rate. This research was conducted to find the most suitable planting media for the propagation and growth of Anubias through hydroponic techniques. The hydroponic culture was carried out with four treatments in the form of planting media which consisted of: (1) husk charcoal; (2) sand (pasir Malang); (3) gravel; (4) Rockwool; all treatments were carried out by floating / NFT (nutrient film technic) technique. The design used in this study was a completely randomized design, where each treatment was given three replications. Parameters observed and measured included root length, plant height, number of leaves and number of new shoots. The sand as a planting media provides better growth when compared to the other three growing media.
