This study was carried out in research greenhouse of Mustafa Kemal University Agriculture Faculty Horticulture Department in September 2015-September 2016. Berberis thunbergii 'Atropurpurea' and Passiflora caerulea were used as plant materials in this study. Perlite, cocopit, pomza, rockwool, vermiculite and peat were used as the rooting medium. The effect of these mediums on the rooting of cuttings was investigated. Cuttings received in January were rooted under misting by being stitched in the casing where different media were used. Several properties such as rooting percentage, rooting status, number of root, root length, callus rate, number of leaf, shoot length, number of shoots and nursery conversion rate were investigated. For this purpose, passiflora cuttings were disassembled 52 days after planting and berberis cuttings after 112 days. Rooted steels obtained from each medium were planted in a flowerpot so that the seedling conversion rate can be determined. According to the results obtained, it is seen that the cuttings take-up times are effective as well as the environments used on rooting percentage and root properties. The highest rooting rate (35%) in Passiflora caerulea cuttings was observed in the vermiculite media, while the highest rooting rate (65%) in Berberis thunbergii cutting was obtained in the pomza media.
