Abstract: Tissue cultured plants of 4 species of Zingiberaceae flower plants,Curcuma longa L,Curcuma aromatica Salisb,Curcuma wenyujin Y. H. Chen et C. Ling and Alpinia zerumbet cv Variegata were transferred onto 5 culture mediums to observe their plant and root growth. Observations showed that all the tissue cultured plants cultured on different mediums had different survival rates. C. longa L and C. wenyujin Y. H. Chen et C. Ling had relatively higher adaptability to the environment than other ginger species,followed by C. aromatica Salisb,and then A. zerumbet cv Vaniegata. The culture mediums had different effects on the growth of the tissue cultured plants,and the mediums at presence of coconut coir dust or the nutrient soil were found suitable for the growth of the tissue cultured plants and gave higher survival rate and plant height,more leaf and root number,and wider new leaves than the other mediums.
