Abstract: The research study was carried out to investigate “Effects of potting media on survival and growth of different species of Dracaena (D. marginata, D. reflexa, and D. mahatma) under shade net conditions Allahabad” at the Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences using Factorial randomized block design of experiment. Three species were evaluated with five different growing media in shade net condition. Coco peat (CP), vermicompost (VC), farm yard manure (FYM), rice husk, sand and soils in different combination were used as growing media. Maximum plant height (58.17cm), plant spread (46.67cm) and rhizosphere (21.50cm) was recorded in D. marginata with media containing coco peat + sand + vermicompost in (1:1:1) combination, maximum number of leaves (35.16) and root length (27.00cm) was recorded in D. reflexa with media containing coco peat + sand + vermicompost in (1:1:1) combination and chlorophyll content and leaf area (338.00cm2) were recorded D. mahatma with the media containing coco peat + sand + vermicompost in (1:1:1) combination.
