This study was conducted to find out the effect of rooting media on germination and vegetative growth of okra. The treatment which includes cocopeat, sawdust, cow dung and soil. The soil alone serves as the control while the other three rooting media; soil mixed with cocopeat, soil mixed with sawdust and soil mixed with cow dung were prepared in the ratio 5:2, 3:4, 4:4 each giving the media a total of 10 treatment with four replications. The study was carried out in the screen house of botanical garden department of plant biology, Bayero University Kano using Complete Randomized Design (CRD) at different intervals of 2,4,6,8 weeks. All data collected were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) using Excel. Means were separated using least significant differences (LSD) at 5% level of significance (P<0.05). The findings of the study revealed that okra plant treated with soil mixed with cocopeat at the ratio 3:4 recorded the best number of days okra plant takes to germinate (5days), days to flowering (46 days) and days to fruiting (49 days). While soil alone recorded the least 7 days, 47 days and 51 days respectively even though there were no significant differences. Significant differences were observed the treatment soil mixed with cocopeat at the ratio 3:4 recorded the maximum number of leaves (6), stem height (24 cm). while soil alone recorded the minimum number of leaves (3), stem height (14 cm) at 8 weeks after planting.
