Every treatment was replicated five times. The result of the research showed that castcing 50 % and regosol 50 % is the best treatment than the others. The results are percentage of germination 82 %, coefisient germination 50 %, height of the plant 26,17 cm, length of root 0,75 cm, total of leaves 3,4 blade, color of leaves score 4 from 5, fresh weight of plant 0,61 gram, dry weight of plant 0,04 gram, weight of fresh root 0,06 gram, weight of dry root 0,009 gram.
