Each treatment consisted of alluvial without compost, alluvial 4 + compost 1, alluvial 3 + compost 2, alluvial 2 + compost 3, alluvial 1 + compost 4. The variables observed were live percentage, number of shoots, number of leaves, number of roots and length of roots. The results showed that adding compost on stem cuttings of puri at alluvial 4 + compost 1 had a significant effect on the growth parameter of the number leaves, a number of roots and a very significant effect on the parameter of the length of roots.
