<![CDATA[Background. Water henna is a widely cultivated ornamental plant, but its success rate from stem cuttings remains relatively low because root formation often fails. One effort to increase the success of water henna cuttings is applying ecoenzymes. Aims. This study aims to examine the influence of ecoenzymes at several concentrations and soaking times on the growth of water henna stem cuttings. The research was carried out in Pasir Muncang Village, Cicangkang Girang, Sindangkerta District, West Bandung Regency, from July to August 2025. Methods. The experimental design used was a factorial Group Random Design (RAK) with 12 treatment combinations and 3 replicates, namely A = 0 mLL-1 (3 hours), B = 0 mLL-1 (6 hours), C = 0 mLL-1 (9 hours), D = 5 mLL-1 (3 hours), E = 5 mLL-1 (6 hours), F = 5 mLL-1 (9 hours), G = 10 mLL-1 (3 hours), H = 10 mLL-1 (6 hours), I = 10 mLL-1 (9 hours), J = 15 mLL-1 (3 hours), K = 15 L-1 (6 hours), and L = 15 mLL-1 (9 hours). Result. The results showed that a 10 mL L-1 ecoenzyme concentration and a 6-hour soaking time had the best effect on the number of shoots, number of leaves, root length, number of roots, and fresh weight of the root of the water henna stem cuttings. The longer the soaking time (9 hours) and the higher the ecoenzyme concentration, the less effective the treatment was. The combination of 10 mL L-1 treatment with a soaking time of 6 hours was the optimal treatment dose to spur the formation and growth of the vegetative organs of water henna cuttings. Conclusion. The results of this study provide practical implications for ornamental plant cultivators to utilize ecoenzymes as an effective, efficient, and environmentally friendly organic waste-based growth promoter for sustainable agricultural systems.]]>
