A review: use of soilless culture techniques in ornamental plants

Abstract The use of soilless culture in the cultivation of ornamental plants is becoming widespread, especially in the production of cut flowers. The aim of this review is to present a brief summary of both standard and new findings obtained from using soilless culture techniques in ornamental plant cultivation, based on a detailed literature review. In the researches reached for this review, Calendula officinalis L., Matthiola incana L., Pelargonium zonale L., Petunia x hybrita L., Pinus pinea, Cupressus arizonica, C. sempervirens, Sternbergia lutea, Galanthus elwesii Hook, Lilium candidum, Limonium sinuatum, Eustoma grandiflorum (Lisianthusrussellianus) and Tulipa gesneriana species were evaluated as plant material. In the researches evaluated, different ornamental plant species, soilless culture techniques and substrates of soilless culture were examined and important results were obtained. Moreover, in the changing living conditions with COVID-19, people have grown plants in their gardens, balconies, terraces and even living rooms using simple hydroponic systems. Thus, they made the simplest practices of soilless culture and even brought it into their homes. It can be foreseen that the commercial and scientific use of hydroponic culture systems in ornamental plants will continue and rapidly increase.
