Abstract: This study was conducted to investigate the vegetative growth and flowering response of Tiger Orchids subjected to different watering treatments. The study aims to (1) identify the vegetative characteristics of Tiger Orchids affected by different watering treatments and (2) identify the blooming response of Tiger Orchids to different watering treatments. A total of seventy two six-month old Tiger Orchids were used in this study with six treatments as follows: T, - pure tap water; T, - rice washing; Ts - fish emulsion; 1 2 T, - 50% rice washing + 50% fish emulsion; Ts - diluted 4 human urine; and T; — water with powdered egg shells. A randomized complete block design was used with three replications. The findings of this study revealed that the best watering treatment to induce flowers is Ts - fish emulsion, Te - water with powdered egg shells was proven to be the best in inducing root formation, leaves production and stem elongation. The use of diluted female human urine (T5) did not affect the vegetative characteristics and blooming response of Tiger Orchids. Based on the results of this study, the author highly recommends using fish emulsion in watering Tiger orchids for it to induce early blooming of flowers.

This study was conducted to investigate the vegetative growth and flowering response of Tiger Orchids subjected to different watering treatments.

The study aims to (1) identify the vegetative characteristics of Tiger Orchids affected by different watering treatments and (2) identify the blooming response of Tiger Orchids to different watering treatments.

A total of seventy two six-month old Tiger Orchids were used in this study with six treatments as follows:
T, - pure tap water; T, - rice washing; Ts - fish emulsion; 1 2

T, - 50% rice washing + 50% fish emulsion; Ts - diluted 4 human urine; and T; — water with powdered egg shells.

A randomized complete block design was used with three replications.

The findings of this study revealed that the best watering treatment to induce flowers is Ts - fish emulsion, Te - water with powdered egg shells was proven to be the best in inducing root formation, leaves production and stem elongation.

The use of diluted female human urine (T5) did not affect the vegetative characteristics and blooming response of Tiger Orchids.

Based on the results of this study, the author highly recommends using fish emulsion in watering Tiger orchids for it to induce early blooming of flowers.
