Abstract: In order to provide reference for the production of succulent plants in hydroponics,the optimal culture medium for succulent plants Crassula capitella 'Campfire' and Sedum pachyphylium was selected.Taking the succulent plants Crassula capitella 'Campfire' and Sedum pachyphylium as test materials,nutrient solutions of two different concentrations-hogland universal nutrient solution and Japanese garden trial formula nutrient solution-were used for hydroponic management.By measuring the number of new roots,average root length,rooting time,number of new leaves,number of yellow leaves,height of new plants,chlorophyll content and other indicators,the effects of the two nutrient solutions of different concentrations mentioned above on the hydroponic culture were studied.These two nutrient solutions of different concentrations have different effects on root growth and plant growth of Crassula capitella 'Campfire' and Sedum pachyphyliumthe number of new roots,the average root length,the height of new plants,the number of yellow leaves and the content of chlorophyll in the treated plants were significantly higher than those in the control group (P <0.05).Both succulents were suitable for hydroponic culture,but the standard concentration of the nutrient solution in the Japanese garden test formula is more suitable for the growth of Crassula capitella 'Campfire' while the standard concentration of 1/2 of the Hogland universal nutrient solution is more suitable for the growth of Sedum pachyphylium.

Key words: succulent plants, Crassula capitella 'Campfire', Sedum pachyphylium, hydroponics, nutrient solution
