<![CDATA[Sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) was a chemical compound commonly used as a whitening and disinfectant agent. Kiara payung (Filicium decipiens), or the ferntree, was chosen as the object of research because easily obtained, has rapid growth, and thought to respond to alien substances' stress. The main purpose of this study was to find out the response of the ferntree plant, which is given stress from sodium hypochlorite. The research method used in this study was experimentation. The independent variable in this study was Sodium Hypochlorite Concentration (X), and the dependent variable was Sodium Hypochlorite Uptake Value (Y). Phytochemical analysis was performed using the argentometry and Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) techniques. Correlation analysis were performed using IBM SPSS 26. This study showed that the concentration of sodium hypochlorite has a positive effect on the uptake value of sodium hypochlorite. Limitations and suggestions to this study were to check the absorption based on soil level and examine other parts of the plant in the future study. In addition, another factors to the independent variables, such as genetics and variations in sodium hypochlorite concentration should be further explored, so that correlation analysis stands more optimal.
