Because of their large size, colorful flowers, and insectivorous habit, butterworts (genus Pinguicula) are desirable ornamental plants among hobbyists and botanical conservatories. Propagation via leaves is a popular propagation method for the genus, especially for tropical species. P. gigantea, a species found approximately 700m above sea level in Oaxaca, Mexico, was selected to evaluate its preference for various blends of soilless media. This study found that number of leaves produced by plantlets is significantly impacted by soil type. However, there was no significant difference in biomass, plantlet diameter or average number of plantlets produced between soil treatments. These results suggest that soils with high nitrogen content may promote increased leaf number, but do not significantly affect plant biomass.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
