A:PS

In this study, pots with 5 base designs ((I) hole in the base centre, (II) 4 small holes along the edge, (III) 4 holes along the edge, (IV) a combination of I and III, and (V) 4 fan-shaped holes) were used for producing spring bedding plants of cockscomb (Celosia argentea var. plumosa) cv. Castle and periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus) cv. Orchid Cooler and autumn bedding plants of scarlet sage (Salvia splendens) cv. Sizzler. The performance of potted plants was evaluated at the beginning of flowering, as well as at full flowering after transplanting to larger pots or the field. Data are tabulated on root length, fresh weight, plant height, number and size of inflorescences.
