The aim of this study was to assess usability of composts made of sewage sludge and either straw or leaves used as substrates for growing zonal pelargoniums. The study plants ‘Hot Pink’ cv. of Survivor group and ‘Fire’ cv. of Graffiti group were grown in 5 different substrates. The control substrate was high peat (100%) deacidified with chalk and dolomite up to pH 5.8–6.0 and supplemented with 2.5 g·dm<sup>-3</sup> of Azofoska multicomponent fertilizer. The other four substrates contained two types of composts: SSRS – sewage sludge, straw (1:1, v/v) and SSL – sewage sludge, leaves (1:1, v/v), mixed with high peat at two different proportions, 1:3 (v/v) and 1:7 (v/v). Chemical composition of the substrates was investigated and they were supp...
