The results showed that the use of diapers of diapers as planting media gave no significant different to plant height at 1, 4, 7, 10, 13 and 16 week after application. It also did not increase the number of leaves at the age of 1, 7, 10, 13 and 16 week after application. There were no changes in leaf length at ages 1, 4, 7, 10 and 16 week after application. It also happened to also its leaf width at ages 1, 4, 7, 10, 13 and 16 week after application and number of branches at ages 1, 4, 7, 13 and 16 week after aplication. However, it showed a significant different to the number of leaves at age 4 week after planting and its leaf length at age 13 week after planting.
