The results showed Benzyladenine treatment caused increasing plant height (19.20cm), Leaf area (301cm²), nitrogen content (3.87%), flower and flower stalk diameter (7.67, 0.71 cm) respectively and length of flower stalk (11.15 cm). Paclobutrazol treatment caused increasing leaves area (310 cm²), flower and flower stalk diameter (7.84, 0.77 cm), respectively. Interaction between foliar application Benzyladenine concentration 50 mg.L-1 and paclobutrazol concentration 30 mg.L-1 gave highest, leaf area 326 cm2 and flower stalk diameter 0.83cm.
