Abstract Rhizomes developed in vitro on shoots of Costus speciosus (Koen.) Sm. which were initiated from zygotic embryos. The effect of different hormonal and nutritional additions to Schenk and Hildebrandt' s (SH) basal nutrient medium on rhizome development was studied. Rhizomes developed on SH basal salts but formed with increased frequency on medium supplemented with adenine sulfate, casamino acids (CA) and various combinations of cytokinins and auxins. Incubation in light was necessary for rhizome formation. Isolated basal as well as nodal (aerial) rhizomes formed and produced new shoots. In basal medium without any growth additives (control) the average number of shoots produced per inoculum was 3.3 ±0.73 whereas in the best suited medium i.e. supplemented with 250 mg l−1 CA the number of shoots obtained was 22.7±1.92. There was no dormancy period for rhizomes under the cultural conditions investigated. Rhizome-sprouts were easily transplanted from the in vitro conditions to the field. More than five hundred propagules (i.e. sprouted-rhizomes) were obtained within 5 months and it has been estimated that more than 2.4 × 105 propagules could be achieved per year through four subsequent in vitro rhizomes-generation cycles. Thus, a rapid method of propagation has been established.
