Abstract This study aims to determine the effect of liquid organic fertilizer (POC) made from bamboo shoots on the growth of pakcoy plants. The research was conducted at the Pakkea Experimental Garden, Faculty of Agriculture, Christian University of Indonesia Toraja, from November to January 2025. This study was a single-factor experiment arranged in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 5 treatment levels and 3 replications, namely P0 (Control), P1 (350 ml POC + 650 ml water), P2 (400 ml POC + 600 ml water), P3 (450 ml POC + 550 ml water), and P4 (500 ml POC + 500 ml water). Each treatment was repeated 3 times, resulting in 15 experimental plots, with each plot consisting of 5 polybags. Each polybag contained 1 plant, totaling 75 plants. The observed variables included plant height, number of leaves, leaf width, stem diameter, and fresh weight. The results showed that the P4 treatment (500 ml POC + 500 ml water) provided the best results and had a significant effect on all observed variables, including plant height (24.37 cm), number of leaves 16.77 leaves, leaf width (12.48 cm), stem diameter 11.80 mm, and the highest fresh weight (224.30 g).
