In the flower and ornamental plant sector, species of genus Anthurium stand out, particularly Anthurium plowmanii, known for its lush, wavy, bright green leaves, which create an eye-catching and harmonious display, making it ideal for the foliage market. The species is mainly propagated from seeds, a lengthy process, requiring time for the seedling to reach the commercial stage, and resulting in non-uniform plants that differ from the parents. In this respect, tissue culture is seen as an efficient alternative in the large-scale production of uniform plantlets of high genetic and phytosanitary quality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the in-vitro propagation of A. plowmanii from nodal segments in Pierik culture medium with different concentrations of cytokinin. The experimental design was completely randomised, and included six BAP concentrations (0, 1.11, 2.22, 3.33, 4.44 and 5.55 µM) in five replications, each replication comprising 10 test tubes containing one nodal segment. After 60 days of in-vitro culture, the nodal segment explants were evaluated for the number of shoots and roots, height, fresh and dry matter, number of leaves and length of the longest root. The results show that for shoot formation in A. plowmanii, BAP must be added to the culture medium at a concentration of 3.33 µM. Furthermore, increasing the BAP concentration resulted in a greater number of leaves and an increase in the fresh and dry matter of the explant.
