As a cut flower, anthurium is one of the main tropical species due to its beauty and increased postharvest life. Anthurium is the largest and diverse genus of the Araceae family. Present experiment was carried out in completely randomized design with three replications to study the response of growth regulators on the growth, yield and quality of flowers in anthurium plants. The present experiment was conducted with eleven different treatments by using three growth regulators i.e. Benzyladenine, Gibberellic acid, and Cycocel in four different concentrations 50, 100, 150 and 200 ppm and one control without using growth regulator. From the present investigation, foliar application of (T8) Gibberellic acid 200 ppm gives maximum results in growth, flowering and quality characters on Anthurium andraeanum plants followed by cycocel 200 ppm. Days taken for flower bud appearance was earlier and flowers remain fresh for more number of days in Gibberellic acid 200 ppm.
