<![CDATA[Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is a high-value horticultural crop commonly propagated vegetatively through stem cuttings. The success of cutting growth is influenced by planting media and nutrient availability. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of rice husk charcoal as a planting medium and liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) derived from agricultural waste on the growth of grape cuttings. The research was conducted from December 2025 to March 2026 in Deli Serdang Regency using a factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two factors: planting media (M) and types of LOF (P), with three replications. Observed parameters included time of shoot emergence, number of leaves, plant height, number of roots, root length, and fresh weight. Data were analyzed using the F-test followed by the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test. The results showed that rice husk charcoal media had no significant effect on most parameters but significantly affected root number and root length, with the best treatment at M3 (10% topsoil + 90% rice husk charcoal). LOF had no significant effect on most parameters, except for root number, with the best result at P2 (coconut water LOF). Overall, the treatments were more effective in enhancing root development than early vegetative growth.]]>
