The experiment was conducted to study the effects of six culture media on the growth of poinsetlia. Peat moss, carbonated rice hull, soil and sand in three different ratioes with ground dolomite or silicate slag were used for formulating media. The physical and chemical properties were analyzed and the effects on plant growth and pot quality were also studied. The performance of poinsettia grown in the media mixed with 40% soil was worse than that in the soilless culture. Plant growth and pot quality were significantly improved with the medium added with ground dolomite due to the balance of pH value.
