Abstract:

The present test was undertaken with Impatients hawkeri ‘Java’ to find out the root adaptability of Impatients hawkeri under hydroponics culture, and the conclusions were drawn by roots structure dissection, and the survey of relative morphological indexes and activity of root system through hydroponics and soil culture. It was proved that the hydroponic roots grew faster and had 60% increase in weight, part of parenchyma decompounded and the ventilating lacuna increased, and the roots activity was enhanced 41% than that of soil culture. Therefore, Impatients hawkeri was adapted to hydroponics and which could be cultivated as an excellent commercial plant.
