<![CDATA[Water apple contains high levels of nutrition and vitamin C for the body. This provides great potential for waterapple because the demand for production increases every year. The decline in water apple production in NorthSumatra is caused by poor seed types. Vegetative propagation by cuttings, cutting methods and administration ofauxin PGR are expected to produce quality seeds. This study aims to determine the effect of cutting methods,administration of auxin PGR, and the interaction of cutting methods and auxin PGR on the growth of water appleshoot cuttings (Syzygium aqueum L.) on oasis media. This study used a factorial randomized block design (RAK)with 2 factors and 3 replications. The data obtained were analyzed using the ANOVA test and continued with theDuncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The results showed that the best cutting method treatment was flat cuttingon the percentage of cutting survival and net assimilation rate. The best administration of auxin PGR was aconcentration of 100 ppm on the percentage of cutting survival, early emergence of shoots, number of shoots,relative growth rate and net assimilation rate and a concentration of 200 ppm on root length and number of roots.]]>
