Abstract

In this study, the effects of different plant fertilizers applied per liter of water on the growth rate of Epipremnum aureum were studied in cm^2/week. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between fertilizer concentration and plant growth, and to provide a basis for the optimization of fertilizer application in horticultural practice. A controlled trial was conducted involving multiple treatment groups with different concentrations of fertilizer applied. The Pothos plants were monitored for several weeks to measure their growth rate in square centimeters per week. Data analysis included statistical comparisons between treatment groups to assess the significance of fertilizer concentrations for plant growth. Preliminary findings suggest that different amounts of fertilizer applied per liter of water may have a significant effect on the growth rate of Pothos. The results of this study will provide valuable insights for horticulturalists and plant enthusiasts to determine the optimal fertilizer concentration for promoting Pothos growth.
