Experiment on the effect of different levels of nitrogen on the growth of money plant (Epipermnum aureum) cuttings was initiated at Ornamental Nursery of Horticulture Department, NWFP Agricultural University, Peshawar during the year 1994. The cuttings were planted in earthen pot of size (12-16 cm) containing sand, silt and clay media in equal proportion. Urea was applied in two split doses as a source of nitrogen. The data recorded, revealed that treatments have significant effects on all the growth parameters. The maximum stem length (34.68 cm), stem thickness (2.20 cm), number of leaves (13.33), root length (21.30 cm), root volume (3.12 ml) were recorded. On the basis of the experiment conducted, application of 4 g of urea per pot increased the performance of money plant (E. aureum) upto maximum growth and hence recommended as the best dose for the money plant from cuttings.
