Abstract

An experiment was conducted on the topic “A study on vertical gardens in urban areas’’ during rainy season 2021-22 at the Research Field of Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj. The observations were recorded on various growth parameter. Vertical gardens are becoming a common component in contemporary garden designs at urban living spaces because of shrinking land spaces. Successful growing of plants in vertical garden systems depends up on growing container, plant chosen, growing media etc. Hence a study was carried out in the Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom university of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, India with the objective to study about suitable media composition along with vermicompost, perlite, coir pith, pumice stone and peat moss on growth and performance of ornamentals plant for establishment of vertical garden and to study the performance of ornamental plants viz., Duranta erecta, Hemelia patens, Iresine lindeni, Tabernamontana divaricata, Hemelia patens, in plastic pot for establishment of vertical garden. The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomised Design in plastic pot with five treatment combination of various growing media mixtures comprising soil, river sand as basic components in combination with organic manures (vermicompost, coir pith, perlite, peat moss, pumice stone). The plant growth parameters and ornamental morphological characters observed. Among the five ornamentals plants used Golden duranta and Mini Chandani performed better as ornamental plants in vertical garden system with the growing media of soil:cocopeat:vermicompost:perlite (1:1:1:0.5).
