This study "Growth Response of Anthurium to Dif-ferent Potting Media" was conducted to determine the effects of the different potting media on the growth of anthurium and which medium can best enhance the early growth of the plants. It was observed that chicken manure had detrimental effects on anthurium. In this medium, plants did not survive. The death of the plants may be attributed to the presence of uric acid in chicken manure which could easily burn the tissues of sensitive plants like anthurium. It was also observed that hog manure, horse manure, compost and garden soil affected the height of the plants, length and width of leaves of anthurium. Anthurium grown in the combination of coconut husk and hog manure produced taller plants with wider leaves. This medium produced the first flower of anthurium plants. Horse manure combined with coconut husk and planted with anthurium produced the highest number of suckers and longest leaves of the plants. The result of the study showed that anthurium must not be grown only on pure coconut husk but also with other medium preferably with available nutrients for nourishment of the plants.
