This study evaluated the effectiveness of a natural rooting hormone named Nionvera, formulated from red onion (Allium cepa) and aloe vera (Aloe vera), on the root development of Aglaonema cuttings. Three concentrations of Nionvera were tested and compared with a water-only control. The experiment was conducted over an 8-week period at the Horticulture Unit of Kolej Vokasional Pertanian Teluk Intan, with 15 Aglaonema plants divided equally across the treatments. Parameters measured included the number of shoots and leaves. Results showed that the third concentration (500 g red onion + 500 g aloe vera + 100 mL water) significantly promoted root and shoot development compared to other treatments. The findings suggest that Nionvera is a promising low-cost, eco-friendly alternative to synthetic rooting hormones.
