Abstract:
INTRODUCTION

We started to experiment with growing indoor plants hydroponically in 1978. We found best growth with Aglaonema ‘Silver King’, A. ‘Silver Queen’, A ‘Parrot Jungle’, and A pseudobracteatum.

Hydroponically grown Aglaonema are cheap to transport. As many as 250 (300 mm tall) plants can be packed into one carton. They can be kept, wrapped in peat moss in bundles of 10, for up to two weeks. The plants can be potted up at the other end and be ready for sale in approximately three months instead of a typical six months for saleable plants from cuttings.
