Abstract
The aim of the study was to test the effects of different substrates on flowering of Kohleria amabilis Hook. belonging to Gesneriaceae family. Substrates used were: white peat, white peat + bark (1:1), white peat +perlite (1:1), white peat + sand (1:1), coir, low-bog peat, low-bog peat + bark (1:1). Substrates caused effects on flowering of a kohleria. The best of them occured low-bog peat + bark (1:1). Plants bloomed the earliest, for the longest time and plentyfully. Moreover they were hight and nicely leafy. The least useful was white peat.
