Abstract
The study aims to enhance the propagation efficiency of Bougainvillea, a popular ornamental plant, by evaluating the effects of different potting media on its growth and root development. The experiment was conducted over 180 days using Bougainvillea hardwood cuttings and was arranged in a Randomized Block Design (RBD). The study revealed that a mixture of soil, sand, FYM, and vermicompost significantly improved plant height, stem girth, number of branches, number of leaves, leaf area, root weight, and survival rate compared to other treatments, highlighting its potential as an optimal potting medium for Bougainvillea propagation.The highest root length was recorded in the combination of Soil +Sand + Rice husk (1:1:1).
