Micropropagation of Syngonium podophyllum was performed using axillary shoots as explants. Initiation
of shoots and multiplication of shoots could be induced on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium
supplemented with BAP + NaH2PO4 (4.44 μM +200 mg/l). This combination induced 17.33 shoots with
the maximum shoot length of 7.3cm. The root induction was observed on the same medium or when the
shoots were transfer to the same medium with the percentage of 96.66 and root length of 10.12cm.
Acclimatization was performed successfully with 97% survival rate on commercially available sterile
potting mix in net pots and hardened in a shade house under 90-95% relative humidity for 10-20 days
followed by transfer to soil.
