Abstract:
INTRODUCTION

This paper describes some of the trials carried out at Proteaflora in Monbulk, Victoria. The general aim of the trials was to achieve consistent production of good quality cutting material The work described in this paper concentrates on the importance of nitrogen and phosphorus in the rooting and subsequent growth of cuttings

In the trial described here two clonal cultivars were used:Telopea ‘Shady Lady’ red and Leucospermum cordifolium #27.
