The research was conducted to get the best treatment on the appearance of Aglaonema Lady Valentine ornamental plants grown on various types of growing media with foliar fertilizer application, at the acclimatization stage. The study was conducted using a completely randomized design with one factor consisting of 9 treatments. P1: soil + compost + husk charcoal, P2: soil + compost + cocopeat, P3: soil + compost + ferns, P4: soil + compost + husk charcoal + PLP fertilizer, P5: soil + compost + cocopeat + PLP fertilizer, P6: soil + compost + ferns + PLP fertilizer, P7: soil + compost + husk charcoal + Growmore, P8: soil + compost + cocopeat + Growmore, P9: soil + compost + ferns + Growmore. Parameters of plant appearance observed were number of leaves, leaf area, plant height, number of shoots/saplings, and leaf color. The results showed that the treatment of soil + compost + rice husk charcoal generally produced the best performance of Aglaonema plants, recorded in the parameters of plant height, number of leaves, width, length, and leaf area. Treatment of soil + compost + fern media with the addition of Aglaonema PLP foliar fertilizer, showed poor plant performance.

The study involved with 166 farmers from three districts of Tra Vinh Province, Vietnam.
