Evaluation of substrates for seedlings establishment in laboratory of Puya raimondii Harms (Bromeliaceae)
Puya raimondii Harms (Bromeliaceae) is a monocarpic plant, that can produce about 6 to 12 million seeds, nevertheless is very rare to find seedlings in their natural habitat, indicating difficulties for its establishment. In this work, the conditions for establishment of P. raimondii under laborator...
