This study aimed to evaluate the growth of Ilex cornuta Lindl. & Paxton, Cotoneaster dammeri, Ardisia pusilla ‘Variegata’, and Ilex aquifolium 'Silver Queen' when sphagnum moss was used for media, and the pottery plants were submitted to different temperatures and shade levels. After transplantation to pottery pots with Sphagnum Moss, the growth of I. aquifolium 'Silver Queen' at 25℃ of soil was the highest with 16.8 cm in plant height, 75.0 in leaf number, 256.5 cm2 in leaf area, 18.9 g in fresh weight. I. cornuta Lindl. & Paxton and A. pusilla ‘Variegata’ were in the same range but soil temperatures of 15℃, 20℃, or 30℃ had no effect and the survival rate remained 100%. On the other hand, when I. aquifolium ‘Silver Queen’ was submitted to night temperatures of 4℃, 8℃, 12℃, or 15℃, the following results were obtained: 14.1 cm in plant height, 70.0 in number of leaf, 221.1 cm2 in leaf area, and 18.9 g in fresh weight at 15℃; C. dammeri showed similar results. The survival rate at night temperature 4℃ or 8℃ was 100%, but the plant growth was sluggish. In shading 30% or 60%, the fresh weight of I. aquifolium ‘Silver Queen’, I. cornuta Lindl. & Paxton, and A. pusilla ‘Variegata’ was increased at shading 60% as the plants became taller. Non shading increased the leaf number and leaf area of plants compared with shading. In conclusion, the quality of small woody plants in pottery can be improved when the plant is grown before shipping at a soil temperature of 25°C and a greenhouse night temperature of 15°C, at 30% shading after acclimation

This study aimed to evaluate the growth of Ilex cornuta Lindl. & Paxton, Cotoneaster dammeri, Ardisia pusilla ‘Variegata’, and Ilex aquifolium ‘Silver Queen’ when sphagnum moss was used for purpose of export and the pottery plants were submitted to different watering and quick versus slow release fertilizer. The growth of I. aquifolium 'Silver Queen' watered 50 mL every 3 days was the highest with 16.0 cm in plant height, 79.3 in leaf number, 178.2 cm2 in leaf area, and 18.5 g in fresh weight. C. dammeri also grew best when watered every 3 days. However, the survival rate was 100% for I. aquifolium 'Silver Queen' watered at 12-day intervals and C. dammeri watered at 6-day intervals or more. With quick release fertilizer of 1,000 – 2,000 mg·L-1 applied at 1- to 4-week intervals, I. aquifolium 'Silver Queen' and C. dammeri, plant height, number of leaf, leaf area, and fresh weight increased as fertilizing intervals were shorter. During the short quick release fertilizing at 4-week intervals, the survival rate remained 100%. With slow release fertilizer of 0.5 mg, 1 mg, or 2 mg applied at intervals of 6, 12, and 18 weeks, I. cornuta Lindl. & Paxton and A. pusilla ‘Variegata’ plant height, number of leaf, leaf area, and fresh weight increased with increase of fertilizer amounts and shorter intervals of fertilizing. However, concentration of fertilizer had no effect on plant growth. During the short slow release fertilizing at 18-week intervals, the survival rate remained 100%. Therefore, to improve the quality of small woody plants in the pottery aimed for export, it is preferable to water at intervals of 3 days after acclimation, and use either quick release fertilizer at 3-week intervals or slow release fertilizer at 12-week intervals.

호랑가시나무 (Ilex cornuta Lindl. & Paxton), 무늬호랑가시 나무(Ilex aquifolium ‘Silver Queen’), 백자단(Cotoneaster dammeri) 및 무늬산호수(Ardisia pusilla ‘Variegata’)를 수태 로 도자기 분에 심어 단근, 전정, 차광, 밀폐 등의 처리를 하여 생존율을 조사하였다. 도자기 분 이식 시 단근 정도에 따른 무늬호랑가시나무의 생존율은 모든 처리에서 높은 생존율을 보였다. 백자단의 생존율은 무단근은 100%, 25% 단근은 93.3%로 높았으나 50% 단근은 26.7%로 낮았다. 무늬호랑가 시나무의 전정 정도에 따른 생존율은 모든 처리에서 높은 생 존율을 보였다. 차광 정도에 따른 생존율은 호랑가시나무가 무차광에서 13.3%, 30% 차광에서 30.0%, 60% 차광에서 53.3%이었으나, 무늬산호수는 모든 처리에서 100%를 보였다. 밀폐 정도에 따른 도자기 분화 식물의 생존율은 호랑가시나무 의 경우 무처리와 비닐 밀폐에 구멍을 내고 30% 차광한 처리 에서 낮은 생존율을 보였으나, 습도가 높은 완전 밀폐처리와 밀폐하여 30% 차광한 처리에서는 호랑가시나무와 무늬산호수 는 100%의 생존율을 보였다. 300mL의 도자기 분 식재 시 수 태 중량에 따른 식물의 생존율은 호랑가시나무에서 120g은 66.7%로 가장 높았고, 160g은 33.3%, 200g은 26.7%, 240g은 20.0%로 수태의 중량이 많을수록 생존율이 낮았다. 수태로 도 자기 분 이식 시 생존율을 높이기 위해서는 단근을 거의 하지 않고 수태의 양을 많지 않게 하며 비닐 밀폐에 차광을 하면 된다.
