An experiment entitled, studies on influence of different levels of rooting hormone and growing media on apical cutting of Ixora was carried out under greenhouse condition for three trials with total twenty eight treatments. The experiment was conducted in Factorial Completely Randomized Design with three replications. The results of pooled data revealed that, significantly minimum days taken to sprouting (12.77) was found in control treatment whereas, the maximum survival percentage (81.96) at 45 DAP, number of roots per cutting (32.11) at 60 DAP, length of roots per cutting (6.95 cm) at 60 DAP, height of rooted cutting (12.98 cm) at 60 DAP, survival percentage (100) after bagging and height of plant (22.77 cm) at 90 DAP was recorded with treatment i1 (5000 ppm IBA). From the pooled data of media, it was noted that significantly minimum days taken to sprouting (11.83), maximum survival percentage (71.11) at 45 DAP, number of roots per cutting (27.77) at 60 DAP, length of roots per cutting (7.41 cm) at 60 DAP, height of rooted cutting (11.72 cm) at 60 DAP, survival percentage (100) after bagging and height of plant (20.05 cm) at 90 DAP was recorded with treatment m² (Vermiculite: Poultry Manure (1:1)+ Trichoderma viride).
