The main objective of this study was to examine the influence of different substrate on rooting and development parameters of cuttings of White cedar (Thuja occidentalis Danica). the study was conducted under controlled conditions in green house located in Vitez, and substrates used in this study were: lumbrihumus (organic fertilizer), substrate for the flowers Bineflor, mix of lumbrihumus and garden soil at a ration of 50:50, mix of river sand, lumbrihumus and garde soil at a ratio of 50:25:25, and garden soil. Experiment was set up according to the randomized block design with five variants in three repetitions, and during the cultivation all agro-technical measures necessary for the successful cultivation of cuttings of White cedar (protection, care, fertilization) were identically applied to all test plots. Three months after the start of experiment, on the young plants of White cedar were tested following parameters: percentages of rooting cuttings, weight of root fresh matter, the numberof adventitious roots per cuttings, above ground weight of plants, and the content of pigment chlorophyll a in leaves. The results showed that the most suitable substrates for rooting and development of cuttings are substrates composed of sand and some organic matter (lumbrihumus or peat). Due to the cheapening of production of such substrates, one part of peat or lumbrihumus can be replaced with garden soil if it has favorable chemical properties.
