A research was carried out during 2015-2016 to study the impact of Humic Acid along with growing media combination with azospirillum and FYM on the growth, flowering and quality of anthurium plants (Anthurium andreanum) in Flora-tech floriculture unit at kottarakara, kollam Dist, kerala state, India. The treatments with three replications were carried out in completely randomized design. The plants selected for experiment were maintained under 75 per cent shade net during the experimental period. The variety of Anthurium (Anthurium andreanum) used in the experiment was ‘Tropical’. Data analysis over the period of experiment revealed that the growth characters recorded highest plant height of 48.89 cm, plant spread of 74.76, 8.63 number of leaves, 89.21 g fresh weight were found in treatment T2 (coco peat + azospirillum + Humic Acid) which is followed by T7 (coco peat + FYM+ Humic Acid). Among the yield characters treatment T 2 (coco peat + azospirillum + Humic Acid) recorded, 9.83 flowers with highest stalk length of 41.34 cm and quality characters of flowers like spathe length, spathe breadth and spadix length of 9.53, 9.62 and 7.39 respectively. Hence considering the positive effects on growth, flowering, yield and quality, T2 and T7 can be considered for adopting in the field level for good economic yield with better quality and high net return.
