The study was conducted in Pangkemiri Village, Tulangan District, Sidoarjo Regency from March to April 2015. This research involved factors using a group design (RBD) consisting of 2 factors, factor 1 using planting media consisting of water hyacinth (K1) ), bagasse (K2), banana stems (K3). Factor 2 is the use of a dose of leaf fertilizer consisting of: leaf fertilizer (L1), a dose of 1gr / liter of air (L2), a dose of 1.5 gr / liter of air (L3), a dose of 2gr / liter (L4). From these two factors, 12 combinations were obtained and repeated 3 times. The results showed that the use of water hyacinth growing media and the use of leaf fertilizer dosage 1.5gr / liter air (K1L2) gave the best results on the variable plant length, number of leaves, total weight, and selling weight.
