| Abstract: |
| The cultivation experiments were carried out to test the effects of different proportions of peat soil, perlite, vermiculite, and yellow mud. on 6 species of Gesneriaceae (Chirita gueilinensis, Sinningia speciosa, Lysionotus pauciflorus, Hemiboea henryi, Aeschynanthus acuminatus, and Saintpaulia ionantha) The growth traits were investigated for each plant growing in 7 different matrix materials. The height, crown volume growth and chlorophyll content of each plant were measured. The results showed that the best substrate ratio was peat soil：vermiculite=2：1 for C. gueilinensis, L. pauciflorus and H. henryi; peat soil：perlite：vermiculite=2：1：1 for S.
ionantha; peat soil：vermiculite：yellow mud=2：1：1 for S. speciosa; and peat soil：perlite：vermiculite：yellow mud=2：1：1：1 for A. acuminatus. |
