Title: Influence of coconut fiber on rooting of ,i>Picea glauca ‘Conica’ cuttings

Abstract. The type of soil and time of taking cuttings are the most important factors during rooting of Picea glauca ‘Conica’ cuttings. Four types of media were compared: coconut fiber (coir) without any additions, coconut fiber with perlite (1:2), coconut fiber with peat (1:1) and standard soil (peat with perlite in 1:2 proportion) as a comparison. The coconut fiber without any supplements and coconut fiber with addition of perlite (1:2) can be recommended, especially, when cuttings are taken at the end of June.

Key words: vegetative propagation, seedlings, coconut fiber, media, white spruce ‘Conica’, Picea glauca ‘Conica’
